An IV therapist at Acme Medical Center is asked to draw blood on a comatose patient. She knocks as she enters the room, introduces herself, informs the patient why she is there, verifies that she has the right patient, and then describes what she’s doing as she places the tourniquet on his arm, and swabs with alcohol. Just as she states, “I am about to put the needle in your vein. You will feel a sticking sensation,” the Chief Resident enters the room with his coterie of junior residents, medical students, and nurses.
The Chief Resident points out in a condescending tone that the patient is in a coma and there is no need to speak to him. The IV therapist replies that hearing is the last sense to go—even for people in a coma. The Chief Resident laughs and says, “You’d better be able to speak Russian, because that’s what he is.”
The IV therapist thanks the resident and then speaks to the patient in Russian. The crowd bursts into laughter and the crimson-faced Chief Resident storms out of the room.
