Overheard On The ‘Bolance

Patient: “I took, like, half an Ambien, and a couple glasses of wine, and now I feel drowsy.”

Ambulance Driver: ” … and?”

Patient: “Is that bad?”

AD: “Only if you’re planning on operating heavy machinery.”

Patient: “That’s not funny! I’m scared to death!”

AD: “I’m sorry, Ma’am. What would you like us to do?”

Patient: “Could y’all check my vital signs, maybe hook me up to your heart machine? I mean, I’m so drowsy!”

AD: “Okay, let me see if I understand you correctly. You want us to check you out, for your own peace of mind, because you’re worried that your sleeping pill is… working?”

Patient: “Yes! Could you?”

AD: “Well – *Urk. Cough. Hack* – alrighty then.”

Patient: “Whoa, are you okay? You need a glass of water or something?”

AD: “I’ll be fine, just choked on a little something, that’s all.”
