[ WP ] the ambulance blared by , rushing to the hospital . `` Okay , what do we got ? '' Asked the chief nurse . `` He 's an optimist , we 're taking him to OR now , but things do n't look good . ''

`` Okay, what do we got?'' Asked the chief nurse. 
 
 `` He's an optimist, we're taking him to OR now, but things do n't look good.'' 
 
 `` When life gives you lemons make lemonade.'' The patient muttered. 
 
 `` That does n't really apply in this situation,'' replied the surgeon. 
 
 `` Oh. When life gives you a tracheotomy make a living playing the kazoo from your neck hole?'' 
 
 `` That's... better?'' The nurse suggested. `` We're gunna need another bag of O positive, this one is half empty!'' 
 
 `` I see the bag as half full.'' 
 
 `` I ca n't see anything! How am I supposed to operate in these conditions?'' 
 
 `` Look on the bright side, doc.'' 
 
 `` Of course, the bright side! Get that light on!'' The surgical lamp flicked on, blinding in it's brilliance. 
 
 `` There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.'' 
 
 `` That's just the surgical lamp, buddy. Are you in any pain?'' The anesthesiologist asked. 
 
 `` A little, but the pain means I'm still alive. Every cloud has a silver lining, right doc?'' 
 
 `` Damn, I ca n't find a good place to make my incision!'' 
 
 `` Relax doc, just shoot for the moon and if you miss you'll land in a field of stars.'' 
 
 `` Again that does n't really apply in this situation, buddy.'' 
 
 `` Oh. Smile widest when it hurts the most?'' 
 
 `` A little creepy if you ask me.'' The anesthesiologist replied, flooding the patient with nitrous. 
 
 The patient's eyes drooped, then shot open and he shouted, `` The glass is half lemonade! Every trial is a blessing at the end of the tunnel! Silver lining!'' His eyes drifted shut and he muttered quietly `` what does n't kill me makes me stronger.'' 
 
 `` Yeah he's not going to make it.''
