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."
