My wife and son ended up in the hospital, and she asked for cleaning supplies, as if she had to clean the ward herself. At first, I couldn’t believe my ears, and when the truth came out, this story stayed on the front pages of the newspapers for a long time.

My wife and son were in the hospital. After some time, she called and asked me to bring a rag, a bucket, and a floor cleaner.

I asked again: “Do you really need this?” She calmly replied: “Yes, that’s exactly what I need, tomorrow I’ll have to mop the floors in the ward.”

I immediately called my mother and asked her to bring everything necessary. My mother, without hesitation, said she would handle it and went straight to the chief physician — it turned out they had known each other for a long time.

Together they went to the right ward.

And what they discovered there turned out to be so shocking that it was discussed for a long time in the newspapers and on television news.

Everyone who heard about it simply couldn’t believe their eyes — the story promised to shake all the usual notions about the hospital and its staff.

It seemed simple: my wife said that according to some strange logic, if there was no cleaning lady, then the mothers of the children in the ward had to wash the floors. Even arguing about it was pointless.

But when my mother arrived there, the head nurse politely but with surprise said she didn’t understand what this was about. The nurses did all the work themselves, despite overtime and the lack of cleaners.

The chief physician, who appeared on the spot, explained that it was a misunderstanding and that coming there had been unnecessary.

He added that such situations are unacceptable and in the future could have serious consequences.

Thus everything was clarified, and none of the patients washed the floors anymore. At least while my wife was in the ward — yet the story stirred strong emotions and was discussed for a long time by everyone who witnessed this absurd situation.
