The woman told the doctor to tell her husband where she was and that she would be there as soon as possible.
As she hung up, she realised that she was leaving what was turning out to be her best ever day in the shops. She decided to get in a few more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping for the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful slice of cake , complimentary from the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband and, feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital.
The lady doctor glared at her and shouted ' You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you ? I hope you are proud of yourself. While you were in town enjoying yourself your husband was languishing here in the Intensive Care Unit. Well it's just as well you did because it's more than likely to have been the last shopping trip you will take. For the rest of his life your husband will require round the clock care and you will be his carer '
The woman broke down and sobbed
The female doctor chuckled and said ' I'm only pulling your leg. He's dead. What did you buy ?'
