Top:Entertainment:Shaggy Dog Stories:Mercy HospitalAuthor unknown (presumably for good reason) Mercy Hospital in Chicago is run by a group of nuns who came from Australia. Through the years the years they have gone out of their way to maintain ties with their native land -- putting up a large map of the country in the recpetion area, and serving Australian tea from tins decorated with koala bears. One night a patient calls a nun into his room and tells her how much he likes the hospital and the care. But he has one small complaint: he found some leaves in his tea. "Oh," the nun says, "the koala tea of Mercy is not strained." Page created 10/16/97 by Michael Heggen.
