Mysterious Death In Icu

[WillyL]

Once a week in a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, 3 patients died in a row. By coincidence they all died in the same bed, all on a Sunday morning, each at about 11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition.

It wasn't until the third death that one of the nurses made the connection that the three deaths seemed to be linked.

This puzzled the doctors. One doctor suggested it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. They called the police, but there was absolutely no evidence of foul play. In anticipation of the upcoming 4th Sunday, a worldwide team of medical experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.

Two detectives and a parapsychologist accompanied them as well. Including the nurses, there were a dozen people on the floor pretending to go about their duties, but in reality they were all watching Bed 17 out of the corner of their eye. The tension mounted that Sunday morning as 11 am approached. What the terrible phenomenon could be causing this problem?

All eyes surreptitiously focused on Bed 17 where a man slept unconscious in a coma using an assisted breathing machine. Would this poor man become the fourth victim of the Curse of Bed 17?

The religious were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. The superstitious looked everywhere for omens. One detective had his hand on his gun as he pretended to be a doctor. No way he was going to allow another homicide if he could help it!

A couple minutes after the clock struck 11:00, Pookie Johnson, the 65-year old part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system of Bed 17 so he could use the most convenient power outlet in the area for his vacuum cleaner.
