So I admitted a lady and we were trying to get her paperwork figured out.
Doctor (to me): do we know why her husband isn't the medical power of attorney?
Me: the woman's adult children said they don't trust him and that he's got a history of having heart attacks when he gets stressed out. He was just in there talking about how it's not a big deal that she's in respiratory failure because she's just his second wife.
Doctor: oh, sounds like a gem. Does she have any other past medical history?
Me: just a history of depression...
