Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit...

I was sitting at work today when this guy came up to the desk looking for the Neuro Shock Trauma Unit. Like usual when people come by looking for NSTU, I told him he wanted the west tower and was currently on the east tower. He thanked me, paused, and then said: "Since I'm here, I've been handing these brochures out to all the other floors. Why don't you guys take some too?" He then proceeded to hand me a stack of brochures, which I thanked him for and then he went on his way.

And then I looked down at the brochures.

The cover was largely a pleasant shade of blue and featured the image of a nice looking building. In white, flowing letters was the name of the building, which I honestly don't recall. The words right underneath the name of the building caught my attention enough to read them aloud:

"Funerals and Cremations."

The nurse sitting next to me started laughing. I started laughing. What was I supposed to do with a big ol' stack of funeral home brochures? Stick them in the welcome packets? "Welcome to the ICU. Let's discuss your plan for discharge. Here's a lovely place that offers a full range of mortuary services."

Something tells me that would not go over well.
