Er... she's been at the hospital visiting her husband on a life support machine, intending to go to work straight from the hospital?

I suspect such machines have some kind of alternative power source for such occasions, however.

You don't bury survivors

An explorer walks one mile south, then one mile west, and then one mile north and finds he is back where he started. Where is he? (There is more than one answer to this)

Was his starting point one mile east of where he started walking south from?

Presumably one answer is that he started one mile north of the spot near the south pole where the circumference of the earth is one mile. The other would be the north pole. And as for burying survivors I would hate to see an aircraft carrier fly across our border!

I would imagine he'd already walked one mile already from west to east.

Yes. I removed the white bear element normally associated with that question to allow that answer.
