What You Don't Hear

I always inform my patients when I am about to do something to them that will cause pain. Usually it involves needles.

My patients like me. They tend to like the unit in which I work, and often they say complimentary things, such as "The nurses here are so good. Very professional, and everybody's been so nice."

Meanwhile the cartoon word-bubble over my head is silently reading out "wait until you get the bill."

That doesn't work on Canadians, though.
