I woke up and mistook my housemate Kevin as a resident I was talking to in the resident room.
Elaine: "What happened to Robert Baratheon?"
Kevin: "Who?"
Elaine thinks, "It doesn't make sense that Robert Baratheon, a fictional character, would be on my service. I must have remembered the patient's name wrong or something."
Me: "You know, the patient who has a cough, the same type of cough as me."
Kevin: "Come again?"
Me [confused and groggy]: "Do we have any patients right now?"
Kevin: "Well I don't know about you, but I don't."
It took me some more time to register that Kevin is not a doctor, and therefore he does not have any patients. I then concluded that since I am currently on vacation, that I don't have any patients either. I can't quite remember what happened after that, but I think I went back to sleep.
The next day I asked Kevin about the conversation and he said he was really confused.
