Who invented the call bell?

Pretend like before each minute marked, the call bell goes off and a nurse goes in and asks the patient what s/he can do to help him.

2127: "Before I go to sleep, can we rub some lotion on the back of my left shoulder? It feels a bit dry."

2136: "Can you scratch my nose?"

2138: "My nose still itches."

2144: "Can you scratch my forehead? The itch has moved from my nose to my forehead."

2147: "We should probably put lotion on my forehead now."

2155: "Am I dying?"

2158: "Does my gown need to touch me? I'd prefer it not touch me."

2204: "It's my eyelids now. They need lotion. Do you think we should just put lotion on my whole face?"

2209: "What if we call my wife, and she brings some rubbing alcohol in... Can she put rubbing alcohol on my face and back?"

2220: "I was just making sure you guys were still out there."

2230: "Do you think maybe we can clip my toenails tomorrow?"

2235: "Are you sure I'm not dying?"

2238: "How many types of blankets do you guys have? I don't know if I like this one."



It went on all night. With a break between about 2330 and 0155 and then again between 0330 and 0430. You'd think the sleep would help. It didn't.
