Quote of the day

::Patient writes his name on one sign-in sticker and a big smiley face on another::

Me: "You’re using two stickers?"

Patient: "I deserve it. I’ve had a really bad day. I’m trying to convince myself it’s a good day."

Me: ::starts sympathizing::

::Patient methodically peels off smiley face and puts it on his shirt like a name tag::

Patient: "And a friend of mine told me he has cancer, and suddenly my day doesn’t seem so bad."
