Title: red wristbands or wristbands
Best to tell: at a hospital
***
In Korean hospitals, whenever a patient goes in, they get a white wristband, but when they die, they get a red wristband and are later sent to the morgue.
One late night, a doctor was finishing up his work and headed to an elevator. When the elevator opened, there was just one person inside. He walked in, clicked a button, and casually talked to the girl.
When they arrived on the correct floor, they both spotted a bin of red wristbands and a body under a white blanket with people surrounding it. The doctor quickly closed the door.
"Why did you do that?" The girl questioned.
"Well, the doctors aren't allowed to interfere with other surgeries unless they are needed. I was about to go see if could help them with this one, but after seeing the red wristbands..." He explained then paused abruptly.
"What?" The girl asked curiously.
"If a patient has a red wristband... It means they are dead."
She was silent.
She suddenly raised her right arm in front of the doctor...
"Like this one?"
