A man suffered a serious heart attack and had an open heart bypass surgery. He awakened1 from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns2 at a Catholic Hospital. As he was recovering, a nun3 asked him questions regarding how he was going to pay for his treatment. She asked if he had health insurance.
 
He replied, in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
 
The nun asked if he had money in the bank.
 
He replied, "No money in the bank."
 
The nun asked, "Do you have a relative who could help you?" He said, "I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun."
 
The nun became agitated4 and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."
 
The patient replied, "Well, in that case...send the bill to my brother-in-law!"
