Put Some Ice on It
U/BlueMeanie03: Not a doctor either, but a nurse hurried out of a room one day, reporting that her patient was not responding. As expected, the man was motionless in his bed and unresponsive to typical cues, so we called the closest doctor, an “old school”/no-nonsense kind of guy.
He entered the room hesitantly, tried to shout at the man without success, and then looked around the room before grabbing the water pitcher, removing the lid, and pouring the full icy bath directly onto the man’s head and chest. He awoke instantly and yelled, “WHAT THE f—?” as the doctor left, telling him not to turn around and said, “He’s fine.”
