Why not put even more of the story into the subject line next time.
I am really interested in seeing how it looks wrapped to three lines.

If I was terminally ill, I'd be happy to have sex with anyone.

I wouldn't complain. I wouldn't say anything. I'd let my smile do all the talking.

But how would your wife feel about that?
If I was terminally ill, I wouldn't care what my wife thought.

I'm kidding.

Who knows? May she would join in.

This thread reminded me of an old punchline about somebody dying with a smile on his face, but now I can't remember the original joke. Any help?

Richard Pryor's Eulogy (“We are...gathered heah todaaaaaay...”) is one that comes to mind.

Maybe she was simply giving palliative care.

I've gotta wonder why this is even a thread at all. All sorts of people sleep with all sorts of people all the time. I'm sure that nurses have been picked up by patients (and vice versa), married and not, before. I'm sure that's how some future spouses meet. In fact, it's a classic stereotypical fantasy.

Believe it or not, the nurse/patient relationship is an asymmetric power relationship. There is potential for abuse, and that is why such relations are off-limits. Imagine that things somehow went badly between them, and she came in the next week for her shift as his palliative care nurse. Imagine that the patient had meanwhile lost the power to speak, and she elected to leave him in excruciating pain out of personal spite. There are reasons for these rules, and she knew what they were. I would hope she understood why, also.

In the tenants it's referred to as 'Unethical behavior'. Does it happen ? Sure. (well, not from personal knowledge... my nurses were all woofers..and I love my wife)

Is it wrong ? Yup... the power relationship / trust/ care relationship is critical to patient care, even the terminal patient. And we're all wired to have a special bond with a mate... it's a biological imperative related to the whole survival of the species thing.

Nurses get hit on ALL the time by patients- male and female. My wife works in an assisted living home, and some of those old coots are serious horn-dogs.
