I’ll just get up and go by myself.

I have to go to the bathroom. I

pushed the call button 5 minutes

ago!

The I.V. machine has been beeping

for 10 minutes!

I hope my doctor is aware of my allergies with all the pills they

are giving me.

Its cold in here!

Who was that person who just came into my

room?

The TV remote is not working!

I hope he doesn’t get out of bed

again.

Does Mr. Smith really have to go to the bathroom

again?

This is the tenth message I’ve

received in the past 5 minutes!

Oops… I forgot to press the rounding button

again!

Ms. Jones keeps hitting the call button

by mistake!

I need an aid to change the I.V. bag

in Room 305.

What happed to all of our wheelchairs?
