Hospital-acquired...

The following scenario happens about three times a month:

Me:  "We'll probably be discharging her tomorrow, I think she's stable enough."

Family:  "I'm not sure she's ready to go."

Me: "The longer she stays here, the more likely she is to get a pneumonia."

Next Day:

Family:  "We think she needs physical therapy."

Next Day: 

Family:  "Have you seen this mole on her back?"

Next Day:

Family:  "Oh, we don't have the house ready for her."

Next Day: 

Me:  "It looks like she's developed a pneumonia.  She'll have to stay here on IV antibiotics for awhile."

Family:  "You should clean this place better, I can't believe that you gave her a pneumonia."
