When you are admitted to a hospital , they place on your wrist a white wristband with your name on it. But there are other colored wristbands that symbolize other things. The red wristbands are placed on dead people.

There was one surgeon who worked on the night shift in a school hospital. He had just finished an operation, and was his way to the basement. He entered the elevator and there was just one person there. He casually chatted with the woman as the elevator descended.  When the elevator door opened, another woman was about to enter when the doctor slammed the close button and pressed the button that would take the elevator up to the highest floor. Surprised, the woman scolded the doctor for being rude and asked why he hadn't let the other woman in the elevator. 

The doctor said, "That was the woman I just operated on. She died during the operation. Didn't you see the red band on her wrist?" 

The woman smiled and held up her wrist.

"Something like this?"
