I heard this awful exchange between a nurse and my patient yesterday as he was getting up to walk around:

Nurse: Sir, your pants are falling down!
Patient: Oh really? Thanks for telling me. My pants don’t fit anymore cause I’ve lost all this weight.
Nurse (laughing to other nurse): Haha, I wish I could do that so easily!
Patient: Yeah, well I’d probably say it’s better *not* to get cancer.

What kind of shit is that? The nurse *knew* his diagnosis too.
