Penny, a good assessment nurse was awakened at 4 a.m. to make a house call. She reluctantly got dressed and braved a snowstorm.

After the examination, she told the patient to send immediately for his lawyer and relatives and friends and make a will.

When she got home and told her husband of what she had seen and done, her husband asked, „Was the patient that bad?”

Penny said, „No, I just didn’t want to be the only sucker called out on a night like this.”
