The Swiss Army Nurse

I had to go to the Pyxis (drug cabinet) three times. The first time a patient’s family wandered up to me. They had an “important question.” I never got to finish. The second time a coworker needed a stat drug. I let her go ahead of me; then I got a phone call while I was waiting. Then I just plain got distracted and forgot. Thirty minutes later everybody is upset because he hasn’t gotten his medicine.
