I for an eye

As I was catching up on my charting today, I was interrupted by a visitor looking for a patient.

"Excuse me," she said. "I'm looking for an I-room."
"I'm sorry?" I didn't hear what she said because I was deeply concentrated on quoting verbatim all the scrambled garbage that came out of my drunk patient's mouth a few minutes earlier.
"I'm looking for an I-room? "I" as in "ice cream," she repeated.

It took me a second to realize what exactly she was talking about and, after I did, another two seconds to try and keep a straight face.

"It's Eye Room. Eye as in "eye" [pointing at my left eye that was twitching slightly with the barely suppressed laughter]. It's down the hall to the right."

I spent the next five minutes contemplating on the all the benefits of having an ice cream room in our ER.
