Patient asks doctor if he can be discharged.
…
Patient: Can I go home today?
Doctor: Dr Peckett, he’s the senior doc, he’ll decide. I’m just a house surgeon, I can’t sign the discharge.
Patient: Is he coming today?
Doctor: Maybe this afternoon.
Patient: Only a maybe?
Doctor: Or tomorrow morning.
Patient: So if he comes today, I could go home?
Doctor: Well, it’s his day off. ..
Patient: So it’s not likely to be today?
Doctor: Hmm. Make that a tomorrow.
