Medicine Sub-I, Day 16

For the last ten days, my patient greets me in the morning with a mocking, yet cheerful: "You're late." Apparently he wakes up at 5AM and watches television or reads the paper. Plus I'm pretty sure the hospital bed really isn't that comfortable. Anyway, I finally decided to hit him with a comeback:

"A medical student is never late...nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

He totally didn't get it.
