Anu was admitted in a hospital for treatment of Dengue. Her husband went out to purchase medicines.Suddenly two nurses entered the room with a wheelchair and said,"Madam, please shift to the wheelchair."They were helping, when her husband entered and said,"Where are you going?" The nurse said,"We are taking her to the operation theatre for surgery." Mr. Talwar said,"What surgery?" The sister said ,''Is this not room number two?" He said,"No, this is room number three." The nurse said, "Sorry. Such things happen every once in a while." and left hurriedly for room two.
