Just call him Azrael

Our conversation last night getting ready for bed:

"Did I tell you what happened when I was on call?"

"No, what happened?"

"Well, I had this patient and she seemed to like me. Earlier I went into her room she was on the phone and she said she had to go because 'the nice doctor was there with the good beside manner.' So I decided to have a conversation about her code status. Well the next time I saw her she told me that I frightened her."

"What? You frighten her?"

"Yeah, weird, right? So I asked her why and she said, 'Sometimes I wonder if God has sent me the Angel of Death and I've met him.'"

I swear I laughed so hard I peed my pants just a little.
