Tattoo

During a casual chat, I found that a few of my senior nurses were obviously not happy with the quality of the new generation doctors and nurses.

"You know, looking at how competent they are and how they treat the patients, I am tempted to make a tattoo on my chest - Don't touch me." one of them said.

"Alas, do you mean no CPR?" Another nurse asked. (For visitors with no medical background, CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.)

"Yes, of course. If I fell unconscious, just let me die. I don't want to be tortured by them." She explained.

"No, you mean more," I laughed, "What you really want to say is Don't touch me, because I want to live longer."

Everyone looked at me - none seemed to disagree.
