the greeseman

"He hadnt eaten for 3 days maam.." said the ER security guard.

The haggard man who sleeps on the stretcher right outside the ER door and adjacent to the Doctor's quarters broke the silence of the unit at 5 am with his loud breathing. He was dehydrated, bruised and covered with mud. He couldn't manage to get up.

"Doc, whered you found him?!" nur$e said.

"I couldnt sleep. He breaths so loud and like crying in pain..." replied doc.

The silence of the ER was broke with a few laughters.
Then they continued to assess the patient. He couldnt speak and all he do is mumble.
He was covered with mud like cement on his body. So they had to take him out for a bath.

The orderly guy who comes in from the maintenance unit had to undress him, soap his body and shampoo him to remove all the dirt from his body. He was even shaved.

He was thoroughly assessed unlike the other patients..lol...
Everyone's attention was on him.

He was named Mr. X
