Seventh Day In

Story★★★

People of all faiths use our hospital, but this was a first. As I reviewed a patient’s chart, I noticed that the admitting nurse had written next to religion: Seventh Day in –Mary Stewart, Readers Digest, “All in a Day’s Work,” August 2007, 78.

— Mary Stewart Relfe

Also attributed to: Mary Stewart

The point

A nurse mistakenly writes 'Seventh Day in' as a patient's religion, humorously referring to Seventh-day Adventist.
