Two doctors in practice in a small country clinic had to hire a new nurse when the one they had won the lottery and quit. They interviewed Nurse Nancy and decided to hire her.
She had only worked two days when one doctor called the other to his office and said that they would have to let Nurse Nancy go.
"Why, we just hired her?"
"Well, I think she's dyslexic and she's getting things backward. For example, I told her to give Mr. Smith two shots of morphine every 24 hours, but she gave him 24 shots in two hours and it almost killed him. Then I told her to give Mrs. Jones an enema every twelve hours and she gave her twelve enemas in one hour!"

The doctor had barely finished speaking when the other doctor started to rush out of the room.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" the doctor asked.
"To find Nurse Nancy! I just instructed her to prick Mr. Hill's boil!"
