Hearing voices...

On my psychiatry rotation during M3 year, we had a schizophrenic patient we were treating for acute psychosis.  One morning on rounds the attending physician asked the patient if he was still hearing voices.

Patient:  "Yes."

Doctor:  "When was the last time you heard voices?"

Patient:  "This morning."

Doctor:  "And what did the voices say?"

Patient:  "Patients, please go down to the activity room for your morning snack, and don't forget to wash your hands first."

Perhaps the intercoms shouldn't be used on the psych ward.
