Weird Behaviour At Work.....

[nocturnal]

:rotfl:

tell me...anyone had a similar experience to this...its a pearler!

One night shift in the wee small hours I whent to investigate a noise in an unoccupied room to disrupt a very embarrassed colleague hot tailing it out of the room...which really...I mean REALLY stank

she made quick passing joke..."Don't light a match in there"

now normally I would just leave that well alone...yet her embarrassment seemed to lead her to recount this story...which totally backfired on her as I found out that this is not the first time such a similar incident has occurred...and the cause of such night time stench and stealth...

this nurse evacuates herself with enemas while at work!!! she is 25 or so...is this a case of too much empathy...or just too weird???

are all nurses doomed to become bowel obsessed like their patients...NOT :uhoh21:

... this nurse evacuates herself with enemas while at work...

Could mean several things. How often has this been known to happen?

the angle of an eating disorder could be on the money...thankyou for the suggestion...this has been know to be going on for some time...maybe it is time someone offered some help...hmmm

[missmercy]

EEEWW~ Weird? YEP! possibility of eating disorder? HIGH! Poor gal!

[nursebedlam]

hummm very bizaare,, certainly not a so called normal behaviour, think this lady needs major help.

Whatever it is, if she is functioning ok and a good nurse, she can take her breaks as she likes....

[klone, MSN, RN]

Very weird. Maybe she has a type of eating disorder. I have heard of people doing this to loose weight.

That was my thought as well. Many people with eating disorders use purgatives. Uh...the name escapes me - the pills that make you poop. Laxatives! I knew my coffee would kick in soon. Anyway, I'd think that an enema would be a very efficient way of doing that.

But that doesn't mean it's not cause for concern or that it shouldn't be addressed by her manager.

Also, it sounds to me like she's using unoccupied rooms to engage in this behavior. I don't know a LOT about it, but I would think that that would be frowned on, considering housekeeping has already gone through and cleaned it, and she's basically dirtying it up again.

I totally agree...I mean...I sure would not like to have been an admit into that room within the next 45 minutes or so!:imbar pheeeeeeeeeeeeew:uhoh21:

plus she was not on her break...I was on mine...seeking some solace in the late night TV in an unoccupied room...until I became aware...I was not alone...
