tHE THINGS THAT OCCUR IN THIS ENVIRONMENT CAUSE US TO QUESTION WHY...AND TRUTHFULLY THERE ARE USUALLY NO GO ANSWERS ONLY MORE QUESTIONS.... HUMOR IS A WAY OF EXPRESSION TO THE QUESTIONS THAT CONTINUE TO ASK US WHY.
IN HUMOR WE FIND A PLACE THAT GIVES US STRENGTH AND ABILITY TO WORK WITHOUT ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS BUT INSTEAD COMING TO TERMS WITH WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!
Like everyone else already said, you either laugh or cry, and if you cry you quit nursing. Besides, there REALLY is something funny about being in the room when the MD gets his exam light all ready to do a rectal exam on a guy who is bent double with rectal pain and there is a light shining back at him, turns out his partner put it there and it got stuck. I saw this as a student, quite the education I got.

Well..I agree with most of what has been said...afterall....what can you do after a patient comes in who jumped off a truck onto the window of Dunkin' donuts because he thought he was THE FLY and thought he'd stick..........what to do?
One woman, around 80 years old, cute and quite sharp, laughed at herself, then told me about it. She'd visited her doctor the previous week and had received a script for Vicodin. Later she came to the ER. Upon leaving, she informed the nurse that her needs would be well taken care of at home, because she still had PLENTY of Viagra!
