Hilton's hospital letter

阅读难度:

A Birmingham man was left "flabbergasted" after a hospital told him he was pregnant -- and could be expecting twins.

Hilton Plettell received a letter inviting him for a scan at the ante-natal department of Norfolk and Norwich University NHS Hospital, to find out how far pregnant he was.

英国男子“被怀孕” 而且还是双胞胎

       英国伯明翰市一名男子最近相当郁闷,他收到一张医院通知,说他身怀六甲,而且可能还怀了双胞胎。

       近日,英国诺福克郡诺里奇大学医院给伯明翰市民希尔顿• 普莱特尔发了一封邮件,请他到该院妇产科体检,查看怀孕后身体状况如何。

       医院还提醒普莱特尔,体检之前要憋尿,多喝水,不能上厕所,这样才好做B超检查,而且还强调,这样才能看出来他怀的是不是双胞胎。

       但普莱特尔对此哭笑不得,虽然他今年已经51岁,膝下无子,可他是如假包换的“纯爷们”。普莱特尔先生说:“我拿着这封信,下巴都要掉了。这太无中生有,太可笑了,我都成了朋友们的笑柄了。”

       原来,20年前,普莱特尔先生在另外一家医院做肾结石手术,留下了个人信息,20年后,当年给普莱特尔先生做手术的护士一时疏忽,就给他发了这封让人啼笑皆非的邮件。

       普莱特尔先生说,他本来是个很不起眼的人,可现在成了所有人的笑柄。每次他去参加俱乐部活动,都会有人说:“快看啊,准妈妈来了!”
