I walk past one of my patient's rooms and see him lying face down on the floor. I rush in and yell for the nurse. She comes running.
I check the patient, he's moaning-- fell out of bed, had been lying there for hours. I ask the nurse--
"When was the last time you checked on him?"
"We rounded half an hour ago."
"And--?"
"I thought he was sleeping."
"ON THE FLOOR?"
"He's been there for hours. The nurse on the last shift told me he was sleeping. She didn't say where. I figured he was fine."
"Who's sleeping on the floor?"
"I don't know-- I just assumed."
