Don't sleep on the beach!

A guy visiting in Hawaii fell asleep on the beach for several hours and got a horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs. He went to the hospital, and was promptly admitted after being diagnosed with second-degree burns.
With his skin already starting to blister, and the severe pain he was in, the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrolytes, a sedative, and a . pill every four hours.
The nurse, who was rather astounded, asked, 'What good will . do for him, Doctor'?
'It won't do anything for his condition, but it'll keep the sheets off his legs.'
