Is this irony, or what?

Last week when I was on call, I got called emergently to a patient's room who was unresponsive. I got to the room and saw that the patient was my own doctor before he retired 6 years ago. He had been given (way) too much pain medicine and was in pretty bad shape. It took a lot of meds to try and reverse the pain medicine he'd been given. I'm so thankful that everything turned out okay in the end. I went to see him the next day and he was much better. Such a strange thing, being a doctor to your own doctor.
