When I was in after heart surgery, in a teaching hospital, one day there was a commotion among the nurses, one popped into my room and told a nurse that was already there "Hey, there's going to be an Exitus", to which the other nurse responded "I'm fine, I've already seen it, but you go watch".

Exitus, means death. They were all rushing to learn what death looks like... then have an orderly make the bed for the next patient.
