A couple of quick funnies that happened over the last week...
Nurse 1: Overhears a patient yelling out of his room for his nurse. (Not uncommon. They forget how to use their call lights) "What's your patient's diagnosis?"
Nurse 2: "Craziness"
Nurse 1: "Figures."
********************
I took care of a little old man who had no teeth. He was super hungry and I told him he could have a snack after his bath. This was our exchange:
Patient: "But can I have chocolate pudding after my bath?"
Me: "Sure."
Patient: "You are the sweetest nurse I've ever had." And then he smiled his big, toothless grin. Could. Not. Be. Cuter.
*********************
Me: "I'm going to have to get another EKG for the doctor."
Patient: "You're cute so I'll let you. This time. But don't you try any of that other handholding stuff from earlier. You're gonna have to buy me dinner first." (That "handholding stuff" occurred while I was trying to draw some blood from some veins in his hand.)
People, whatever it takes.
