Funniest Anecdote in Nursing Profession-autopsy

Working as a forensic investigator and pathologist at a famous and well-known hospital, I was assigned to conduct and perform an autopsy to the patient who just recently died in the medical ward. When he was transferred to the mortgage room where I was about to enter, I saw a student nurse with trembling body and ghost bumps as he was almost finished embalming the patient.

“Is this your first time?” I asked

“Yes maam”

“Don’t worry; this experience is really natural to occur to most first-timer students. Besides I can accompany you here until you finished if you want”

The student nurse became more serious and showed a more frowning but anxious and afraid expression.

“Thanks, but I do not need your accompaniment because you don’t understand me”

“What thing should I not understand for?” I replied

“The patient is alive; he talked to me this morning before you arrived. His doctor made a false confirmation to him, he is alive”

I then tried to understand what the student feels and checked again the patient’s condition. But the result was all absent; no pulse, no breathing, no heart sounds, no circulation. I tried to explain this to the student with all the knowledge I have but still he wouldn’t believe that the patient is dead. After performing his job, he immediately filled up something in the patient’s chart at the bedside and walked-out from the room with so much hesitation. And before I started to investigate the patient’s body, I scanned the patient’s chart to also fill up something. I tried also to read the part where the student wrote something which made me now to understand him further. I only smiled and laugh as the student nurse wrote in the nurse’s notes: “9:10 AM-THE PATIENT REFUSED AUTOPSY!”
