He is readmitted to hospital 1 week post surgery on his foot via surgical outpatients with maggots in his wound. When asked why he hadn't reported the smell of rotting flesh earlier - reply is 'I only noticed there was a problem when my wife commented on the increase in the flys in the house'

And her ex-husband embarked on a Mediao career.

Really, he did despite only having 4 inches to work with.

He also got arrested for beating up on his girlfriend about 2 years after he got "bobbed". I guess he didn't learn the first time. He would probably find a way to be a jerk pt.

omg this is to funny:yeah:, thanks for making me laugh, i needed it !:clphnds:

And he probably WAS a jerk patient while he was in the hospital getting, ahem, reconstructed. :imbar

You know your patient's a jerk when:

You introduce yourself as a nurse and immediatly get met with a flurry of Gaylord Fokker referrences.

You're pt who five minutes ealier was in dire pain holds up a finger at you then points to their phone and then makes a go away motion

He tells you that he's prefer the hot nurse he saw on his way in start his IV

Give me some time, or hell just give me until I go back to work Monday night and I'm sure I can have a few more. Those are just the annoying ones off the top of my head.

Oooh I love it when the old ones get revived so I can actually read them!!!

You know your pt is a jerk if the prior shift's nurse sits you down before giving report, looks deep into your eyes, and says with all seriousness, "I am SO sorry!"
