Here, have a yogurt

Perhaps not the quirkiest, or funniest piece, but today a man came in, and passed out in our waiting room. We rushed him back, rapidly got vitals, blood sugar levels, a history, etc. while trying to diagnose what was wrong with him. Ambulances and Firetrucks soon pulled up, but not before this jewel.

Me: Sir, when was the last time you ate?
Mr. Hungry: I haven't eaten since Saturday... [it's now Wednesday afternoon]
Me: Ok... and have you had anything to drink recently?
Mr. Hungry: Yes... I had 4 beers last night. And 3 beers the night before.

Case solved? Who knows, at that point he was whisked away. But not before we gave him a yogurt and a cup of water.
