Nursey Foxxx's True Origins

CLEANER POLISHES OFF PATIENTS
"For several months, our nurses have been baffled to
find a patient dead in the same bed every Friday morning"
a spokeswoman for the Ptomaine Hospital (Free State#1a)
told reporters.
"There was no apparent cause for any of the deaths, and
extensive checks on the air conditioning system, and a
search for possible bacterial infection, failed to reveal
ny clues."
"However, further inquiries have now revealed the cause
of these deaths...
"It seems that every Friday morning a cleaning lady would
enter the ward, remove the plug that powered the patient's
life support system, plug her floor polisher into the vacant
socket, then go about her business. When she had
finished her chores, she would plug the life support
machine back in and leave, unaware that the patient was
now dead. She could not, after all, hear the death rattle and
eventual the solid beep over the whirring of her polisher".
"We are sorry, and have sent a strong letter to the cleaner
in question. Further, the Free State #1a Health and Welfare
Department is arranging for an electrician to fit an extra
socket, so there should be no repetition of this incident.
The inquiry is now closed."
