Like most ER’s, sometimes there are no rooms available, so the beds are put in the hallway. This means that family members, who accompany those patients, all sit in the hallway as well, to the point where sometimes you’re not sure who is with who. That being said, allow me to warn you:
If a good looking male patient calls you over because he is cold, do not walk up to his bedside, lean down and ask:
“Do you want a blanket or would you rather we snuggle?” and then be surprised when he points to a woman in a chair two feet away and tells you:
MAN: I think my wife would prefer I take the blanket.
You are fantastic. You could offer a ’snuggle service’ in the hospital to earn some extra…
I will try to remember that one. Although, propositioning strange men is usually not something I do.
Seriously. Funny.
Thanks for the ‘warning’, I’ll try to limit my snuggle offers in the ER accordingly.
Are you making this up?! Or did you really do this? Either way, sooo freaking funny Jessica!!
Can you promise to be there should I ever need to be hospitalized??? I’m sure you made his night!
OMG, they’re going to get you a muzzle one of these days. And he probably would have preferred it if you snuggled with is wife.
I think the snuggle offer was very kind and heartfelt and if his wife was any good she would have made the offer herself. See now you can call it marriage counseling.
If the wife was cold, she should have said something. Already, you’re ahead and he just met you!
Hahaha, Jess, priceless warm fuzzi on snuggling!
You are such a giver.
Was Tiger in the hospital?
Keep fighting the good fight, Jess!
Awesome.
At least you asked. You could have just wiggled right in beside him. Some people are so sensitive.
They’ve got beds in the corridors? Jeez, are you in a war zone or something?
Have you changed your blog because it doesn’t seem to update on mine anymore and I keep forgetting to read yours and then I have to go back and read about four days worth of posts but only post on the latest one which is a bit of a jip and am I like Phoebe, constantly talking and Hannukah sucks and I can’t remember the post inbetween so I’ll shut up now.
But what did HE prefer??
LOL! I bet he’d have rather snuggled with you.
Thanks for the advice on where to find “available” okay, maybe captive, men. I like your style. If the wife was really that interested in him she should have covered him up.
Now if you first offered him a snuggie, the entire scenario could have yielded a very different ending…
whatever. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
Just when you thought you’d found a man who couldn’t get away.
Hilarious! There you are ready to sacrifice yourself and some people just don’t want to accept it anyway…
Regardless, I ‘m sure you made him smile. Her, maybe not so much.
That is awesome. And for the record, I’d like to snuggle.
You are a volunteer that goes above and beyond!
Oops! I HATE when that happens.
If you need a man to snuggle I have just the guy! He might be a little Napolean-esque, and has as many teeth as the old guy in the hallway… but he is damn cute.
