More fun with hospitals
I was playing (American) football, when a freak accident left me with a fully dislocated hip. After a 30-minute ride to the hospital, the nurses stuck me in the x-ray room and left. For 45 minutes. With no painkillers.

Finally, a nurse came back in and did the x-ray, and then left again. For another half hour. Still with no painkillers.

By this time, I'm completely pissed off. The nurse came back one more time, with the developed x-ray, and proceeds to hang it up and look at it (of course, in a position where I couldn't also see it).

So I ask her, what's the x-ray show?

The nurse just looked at me and said "I can't say, but there's a reason you're in pain."

Let's just say, she's lucky I couldn't get up off the table.

Oh, and I looked at the x-ray later, and it's completely obvious what happened. It was completely unnecessary for her to hide it from me.
