True Story: I am an RN that was recently in hospital A.  The nurse doing the admission assessment, said "I hate to ask you this but it is a new requirement on our form."  Do you have Dementia?  Replied, If I did I would not admit and also probably would not know it.

After she left the room, I laughed out loud and called her back in.  Asked where am I?  I came by ambulance to Hospital A, the nurse in the ER had on scrubs from Hospital B on the coast that I had worked at and I am lying under a sheet that has Hospital C that I graduated stamped on it.  We chucled together and after discharge I have enjoyed telling this when I'm asked how I am doing.
