coincidence?

i was on call friday night. i had a dream that lisa, the junior resident, needed me to come in, but i was out of town. in my dream i began to travel back ... then the phone actually rang. the unit secretary said, "come in, lisa needs you." so i tiptoed around in the dark, only to hear gary say, "i was dreaming that we were trying to get the kennedys elected." "okay, that's random," i laughed. gary always had west wing aspirations. "go back to sleep," i whispered, leaving the house. when i got to the hospital the nurses were frantic. "we need you in room 106! we haven't gotten her bleeding to stop and the attending isn't here yet!" so i walked in, said hello, worked on the mom. eventually her bleeding slowed and she ultimately ended up with a transfusion. i left the room, but couldn't find her chart. i asked the secretary, "what's the last name of the patient in room 106?" "kennedy."
