This story below is from Giacomo, my friend, hospital chaplain at World Renown, a fancy-schmancy level one trauma center.
Giacomo was at the nurses' station in a certain ICU unit, talking to a fellow chaplain, when he noticed something move on the floor. Turns out one of the resident varmints (aka good sized cockroach) ambled into the nurses' station in the middle of day shift.
Giacomo says to the charge nurse, "What's your policy on him?" pointing to said cucharacha. Charge nurse just shrugged and took off.
Being the manly character he is, Giacomo strolls over to the stopped varmint, smashes him and with a tissue, picks it up and buries it in the nearest garbage can.
Giacomo goes back to his spot with the other chaplain and says, "It's nice to know in this high-tech ICU, some things are still low tech." which caused an enormous roar of laughter from the intensivist sitting nearby.
I'll have to remember to tell our chaplain this story the next time he's on the unit....
