Not a nurse, sorry

Well, I was selling refreshments @ an emergency room yesterday and this distraught mother came over to me with her daughter.  The poor girl had an ice pack and was bleeding from an eye.

"My daughter just got hit by a soccer ball in a game!" she explained to me.

"OK then, what would you like?" I asked, thinking an iced tea would probably be appropriate?

It took a few more seconds and a glimpse at the coffee and muffins for the mother to realize that she was probably not where she wanted to be.

"Oops...where are the nurses?" she asked.

I pointed her in the right direction...though they did come back after a few hours to buy a cookie ;)

I want to be a doctor one day but unfortunately...I'm not one yet. :(

Each one salutes me as he goes,
And I my childish plumes
Lift, in bereaved acknowledgement
Of their unthinking drums.
