"Your not giving me a suppository! Look at the size of your fingers!"

"my patients keep dying so they demoted me."
That's nice Killer. I'll bet that really soothed the patient's nerves. Seriously, though, you should try selling some of the scenarios to Grey's Anatomy.
i'm having a very bad day. my depression from the bad half of manic/depressive is kicking in but you made me laugh....out loud , in my office. people came to check on me and now they are laughing too. great post
"A man nurse! Their gonna let that bitch, Hillary, be President, and my nurse has a dick. What has happened to America?"
this is the official line of the day
I usually try to pump my nurses for information that I am certain the doctor is withholding from me. Also, I like to ask if it's the worse they've ever seen.
Funny how many of these conversations I think I've had as a paramedic. See this conversation I had with a patient who called 911 for a definite non-emergency:
Pt:"Is it bad?"
me:"It's an infected splinter."
Pt:"Am I gonna die?"
me:"Hopefully."
I want a post like this monthly, please. Start journaling now!
I agree... I want many more of those!!
maybe the poop guy is onto something. we could use stool samples as the sole means of admission into/discharge from an asylum.
--'sorry mr. brady, but your poop still looks a bit looney. you'll have to stay with us a while longer.'
--'good news, williams. sane poop. you're free to go home'
This list was laugh aloud funny. You seem so compassionate even in the weird moments. When it's time for someone else to wipe my ass, you're the first person I'm calling.
That was the best. Thanks!
my mom was a nurse and was attempting to explain to an older and very hard of hearing gentleman about the emergency call button. he couldn't understand her, so mom started screaming, "just push the button and the nurse will come. yes! push the button and the nurse will come." when she exited the room she found coworkers with huge smiles and asking her to make the man push the button so they could all cum. mom was mortified. in a good way. :)
"You're too fat to be a nurse, go lose twenty pounds and try again."
I can't believe that people actually say that to you. So rude!
Sunchaser:
To be fair, he was a confused old man with dementia, and he was accusing me of being a prison guard, instead of a nurse.
