As a as nursing professor for Quinnipiac University, I assign my students specific hospital rooms, called lab assignments. My students are charged with the care of any and all patients which enter their room. On this particular day, a precocious student whom I had assigned to the emergency room came to me confused, bewildered, and with a rather unusual story.

A man suffered a broken arm and a concussion after he had hapazardly attempted to satiate his morning hunger.

He had apparently, in a drunken stupor, driven into (quite literally) a Dunkin' Donuts. To the disbelief of the employees, and the few early morning customers, the man, seemingly unharmed, proceeded to exit his car, and walk out the undamaged front door of the store. He reappeared seconds later at the Drive-Thru window, much to the surprise of the young man running the register.

After calmly asking the confused employee for french fries, the man was apprehended by police, and eventually brought to the ER.

While being treated by the student, the man, seemingly unphased by the incident, furiously demanded the delivery of his unattained french fries.

This would be a funny story under any circumstances, but what really did it for me is that he demanded his fries after the fact! I am familiar with the school you mention (they have a good nursing program, BTW), but I can't recall this bit of news (which would have probably made the NYC tri-state area news). Whatever the case, it's a funny PA! Thanks!
