Unfiltered Story #149653

(I’m a bystander here. The patient is my wife, who has just given birth to our second child via C-section and is in a recovery room.)

Wife: (coming out of the bathroom in a panic) “I need a nurse!”
Me: (convinced something is very wrong by her demeanor, I hit the call button).
Wife: “Where’s the nurse?!”
Me: “Give them a minute dear. You’re not the only patient.”

(We wait about 5 minutes. Finally a nurse walks in)

Nurse: “How can I help you?”

Wife: (practically yelling) “It’s about time! Something’s wrong! My pee reeks!”

Me: (face palming) “THAT’S what this is about? Honey, you had asparagus for lunch. That’s why your pee stinks.”

Wife: “Oh.”

Me: (to nurse) “Sorry about that.”
