About a week ago I broke my ankle (in three places) and was in the hospital for several days.
My first night in the hospital, after having surgery to rejoin my bones with pins and plates and such, I was in a great deal of pain and quite immobile.
My nurse for that first night was a very nice 50ish lady with a strong German accent. At one point in the middle of the night she
came in to give me a shot of morphine. She asked where I would like the shot
and I pointed to my right thigh.
I slid my blankets down and she lifted my gown. With my gown raised, she uttered the words "ok, small prick," and
proceeded with the injection.
I'm still not sure whether her words were meant to warn me of the upcoming pain or as an editorial comment.
