Josh works at a local hospital here in town, I'm honestly not sure if he's a technician or a student. Not really important, he was in charge of taking a patient's IV statistics that night. The woman was on loan from the psych ward, she has bipolar disorder and one or two other mental illnesses which leave her uncensored and able to speak her mind. However she was also having heart troubles, and therefore needed to be in a special care unit for the night. As Josh was going over her charts, the woman began to flirt with him. She's about 60 years old, married (so she says), and veeerrry adventurous. Josh does his best to laugh off her advances, he's a good looking guy and used to joking with his patients.
Now, Josh needed to insert the IV in this woman's arm, and leaned close to her bed. While he's busy working on her arm, she grabs the ID card attached by a string to his pocket and shoves it in her mouth. The whole card. I imagine she looks like a cat caught swallowing a mouse. Since Josh is still working in the IV drip, there's not much he can do about the card. The other technicians in the room start to giggle and Josh tries his best not to lose it in front of the woman. When he's finished, he grabs the string in front of the lady's mouth and pulls his ID card. You better bet he sterilized the living crap out of that thing before reattaching it to his shirt.
The worst part? Not only does the entire hospital know the tale, but Josh is the only IV technician assigned to this woman's bed.
