Sometimes sweet innocence can make your whole day......


I once had a pt who had really bad gas as I was helping her into the tub and she stated to me "no need to turn on the jets today honey, cause I'm self propelled!"

I once had a pt ask me what time her "autopsy was scheduled for that day", I smiled and said "your BIOPSY will be later today".

I once had a little old lady ask me if I liked my job because I got to look at naked men all day....

Just the other day I had an 84 year old lady ask me if I knew if her amniocentesis was scheduled for today or tomorrow. What she was asking about was her thoracentesis..

Haha! Some patients do say rather funny things. I had an elderly, but friendly gentleman as a pt once. Unfortunately he was in a lot of pain one day, and kept saying "Oh, boy!"

Well, he said it so much that it turned into a clear "OH, BOING!" by the end of the day!

A coworker of mine has an uncle in the VA hospital. The nurses had to restrain him last nite, because he wouldn't leave his O2 on and his sats were really low. He also kept trying to get up..can't remember he can't walk. When his daughter arrived for a visit this am, he told her in that loud I can't hear anymore voice, "honey, they've tied down everything but my dick!"

I once had a lady ask where I got a bum like mine from or did I have to order it in special?( I'm a large person and this lady has dementia)

Hi, I'm here for my seduction today (induction)

My contraptions are 5 minutes apart (contractions)
It sure felt a lot better going in than it does coming out.

Being in nursing for 13 years I have pretty much heard them all. But the one that made me stop and feel pretty stupid was...I had a 97 year old-terminally ill pt and walked into his room for my assessment. I asked him "how do you feel?" Without even a pause, he said "with my hands, what about you" that just made my day

I once had a pt's daughter ask me to give her Mama a supplasitory. (suppository).

I had another pt ask me if she was getting tapassium. (potassium)
