Dr. Lunge asks a brand new medical student to see an asthma patient who was just brought to the ED gasping for air.
The student comes back a minute later.
"That was fast," says Dr. Lunge. "How is the patient doing?"
The medical student says, "he just told me 'can't... breathe.' I could barely hear him."
"Is he able to speak in full sentences?" asks Dr. Lunge.
"I don't know," says the student. "When I asked him if he had any medical problems, he just kept calling me an 'ass... ass... ass...'"
