Palliative care 2

So not only are we a bunch of noisy people, we smell bad too. This from my consultant in palliative care.

"We've been getting feedback from some of our patients. Try to keep the noise levels down when you have discussions. Also, they have mentioned that they cannot tolerate your BO."

Stunned looks all around the table. Suddenly, we're the group that stinks, literally. Well, at least some of us, but she's not telling who.

Later on, while talking about gangrene:

"So, what's the patient's main worry going to be?"

Silence

"Anyone ever smelt gangrene before?"

Adnan, our resident joker pipes up, "Well, it's us that are going to smell worse anyway..."
