    SCOS....(spit coffee on screen) you are too funny!!

    "I show a movie like that and all you can think of is what music they are playing"

    "No, we were in lively debate over the ramifications of Limp Bizkit versus Justin Beiber and the incidences of teenage ejection from severe vehicular trauma scenes....."

    I have had patients, as they are pooping, peeing, bleeding or throwing up on me "OMGGGGG this is sooooooo gross" and I say "nope, I have seen grosser....." LOLOLOL
    Thanks for the chuckle this a.m., and now off to find the screen wash......
    Fortunately the song wasn't "rollin" (it was a rollover ejection), did I just take it too far? Probably, but limp bizkit was an appropriate choice I thought.

    When you finally get that sputum sample and you tell the patient, thats a good one.

    Hahaha yes! Discussing "cottage cheese" secretions and smells from "down there" on an obese patient who had been unable to reach to care for herself down there prior to admission...definitely ruined some peoples' meals with THAT conversation, but at least they ended up laughing!

    Done that a few too many times. Sometimes I forget who I'm talking to until I look up and see this look of horror on their faces. Apparently it's not normal to discuss colostomies over dinner?

    My nurse friend and I don't get to see each other very often so usually by the time we do get together, we've both got some pretty good stories saved up. Our waiter usually comes by just often enough to take away our dirty places and give us new water... you can tell he does NOT want to hear our conversation.

    When your family makes you sign a contract that you won't discuss the particulars of your work at the dinner table.

    When you can give a 3 hour dialysis treatment to a naked patient, who won't stay covered up, and you don't even seem to notice.
