Cleaning Error

In a certain hospital, there was a particular hospital bed in a room that was considered to be haunted. The past three patients who had been placed in that room had died within a few days. The room had been checked for possible bacterial infection and even the air conditioner vents had been checked, but there was no concrete reason as to how the patients had died, and now, none of the nurses wanted to go near the room. The new Chief of Staff hated to waste the space so he insisted a patient be placed in it. He then had extra staff to watch over the patient to make sure nothing strange was happening.

Everything was perfectly normal, until the cleaning woman entered the room the following Friday morning and proceeded to do her job. Just as she was about to unplug the socket to plug in her floor polisher, the Chief of Staff stopped her and questioned her. It turned out that every Friday morning, this woman had been coming into the room to clean, and unknowingly unplugging the patient’s life support machine to plug in her floor polisher. After finishing, she would then plug the life support cord back in, not realizing the patient was already dead.
