I am a former trauma nurse and one of the nurses I used to work with called last night and told me this story about a surgeon I used to work with.
This surgeon has a adult aged brother that has down-syndrome. He is highly functioning though. He has his own house, has a job, takes care of himself. He rides the bus back and forth to work.
Well, last week, the surgeon got a call at work from his brother. He said, "There is a troll in my closet, you have to come over here and get him out of here."
The surgeon said, "Look, there's no such thing as trolls. I am at work and I have patients to see." So he hung up.
The brother called his mom, and told her the same thing. "There is a troll in my closet. You have to come over here and help me." She told him the same thing as the surgeon, "There's no such thing as trolls."
So...a DAY later, the brother calls the surgeon's wife. He tells her, "There is a troll in my closet, you have to come and help me!!" She said what the others did. But the sound of his voice made her concerned, so she went over to his house.
When she got there, she looked in his closet......
and there was a MIDGET in his closet!!!! The midget was a Jehovah's witness!! The brother thought he was a troll and beat up him and locked him in his closet!!! LOL
I told that nurse she was lying. She swore it was a true story. She said the surgeon came in last week and told this story to the whole surgery suite. I laughed so hard. I know this surgeon. He is a hard *bleep*, no-nonsense type of guy.
She said that the brother can't live by himself anymore and is living with the surgeon til they find him somewhere safe to live.
Im sharing this cause the deranged man is my brother's ex girlfriend's cousin's brother. lol
