#19: Broccoli or Cauliflower

Humor often surfaces in the most unexpected places, and a hospital room is not excluded. When a woman recovering from a fall off the roof asked her nurse if she was broccoli or cauliflower, it wasn’t just a quirky question but a moment of fun in a serious situation.

This lighthearted exchange, amid the recovery process, illustrates how humor can bridge patient anxiety and the healing journey. Instances like these add a human touch to the clinical environment, showing that there’s always room for a smile, even amidst the complexities of healthcare. I wonder if she really believed she was a vegetable, tho.
