Where have you been??

Attempt #1 to see patient:

Me: "Sir, can you wake up?"

Patient: "I'm too tired. Come back later."

Attempt #2 to see patient, an hour later:

Me: "knock knock."

Occupational therapist: "I'm seeing the patient right now, can you come back later?"

Attempt #3 to see patient, four hours later:

Me: "knock knock."

Patient: "I'm on the toilet!"

Account #4 to see patient, six hours later:

Patient: "Where have you been all day, Doc? I've been looking for you."

Me: "I've been trying to see you. You've been busy."

Patient: "Hey, my sister is going to call any minute. Can you come back later?"

And they say doctors get respect…
