Although my physician stopped by my hospital room to see me every day while I was recuperating from an operation, he hardly said more than a few words to me.  One morning, however, he was unusually talkative.  After chatting for about 15 minutes, he turned to leave and said, “It sure has been nice talking to you Mrs. McDade.  Al my other patients are in a coma.” - contributed by Lillian B.
