I’m going to share a mystery that happened every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in the ICU of a renowned hospital.

I recently came across an interesting piece of information that I would share with you all.

It was 11 a.m. Sunday morning. A patient admitted in the ICU of a renowned hospital died. Nobody knew how the patient died. A week passed and it is yet another Sunday morning 11 a.m. and another patient died in the same ICU of the hospital. This continued for several weeks and nobody was able to find out the reason. These patients did not share anything common except that they were all admitted in the ICU. Many hospital staff felt that this has something do with the supernatural.

What do you think the hospital administration did? They formed a team containing experts. They were given the responsibility of solving this Sunday morning mystery. Next Sunday came. All the members of this expert committee assembled near the ICU ten minutes before 11 a.m. All these experts were a bit nervous and some of them started to pray while some carried holy objects with them to ward off evil spirits.

Minutes were passing like hours to these experts waiting outside the ICU. Suddenly, the clock struck 11. Do you know what happened? A part-time sweeper entered the ICU, unplugged the life support system, and plugged the vacuum cleaner. Do you now understand why patients died at the stroke of 11 in the morning on all Sundays?

I don’t know what the administration did with this part-time employee? When I shared this information with few people whom I know, they took it very lightly and laughed at the ignorance of the sweeper; however, I couldn’t laugh. I just thought about the fate of those innocent patients who died because of such an ignorant behavior of a part-time employee.

What is your thought in this issue? Share it with me.

    This one made me shudder and I don’t think it is funny at all! Those lives could have been saved, (many of them at least)

    Very interesting and fantastic experience I earn today from you. Actually the sweeper had to be asked for treating the patient next time. I think. Very nice.

    I agree with you that it’s not funny because we’re talking about human lives got killed just because of ignorance.

    I’ve read the same story somewhere and if I remembered it right it’s supposed to be a joke, right?

  • Anuradha Ramkumar on Jan 3, 2010

    Hi JK Kristie, I’m not sure whether this is a joke or not as I read about this news in 2 or 3 places.

    This is an appalling lapse of training and supervision of an employee.
