　　The hospital was very busy. The nurses hurried from patient (病人) to patient. They did not have time to talk to them or answer their questions. Instead they just gave them their medicines, made their beds and moved on.

　　The head nurse was as busy as her nurses. She had to walk around with the doctors, make sure the nurses were doing their work, complete(完成) her reports and answer the phone.

　　“Can you tell me if his condition(状况) is good?”the voice asked.

　　 “Yes,”the woman replied. “He is comfortable(舒服的) and the operation was a success.”

　　“When do you think he will be able to go home?”the voice asked.
