It was one of the security guards! I just about slapped him! Luckily, we were in the basement, so no one heard me scream but linens (and its a good thing too, because I needed a new pair of scrubs)


I would have killed him. (figuratively of course)

I work in a critical care area at a major hospital and had only been working as a nurse for 4 months, anyway, the patient spiked a temp and they wanted me to culture him but he was going to be withdrawn from life support the next day. He was FULL of fluid and finding a vein to culture him with my inexperience was going to be a nightmare so I asked the charge nurse if it was really necessary, well she obviously thought not and walked right up to the MD and said "so if you find anything what are you gonna do, sprinkle antibiotics on his grave? This is f'ing stupid!" I almost lost it! I hope I have cahones like that one day lol

I worked on the hematology floor of a large midwestern teaching hospital a few decades ago. We had an exam room at the far end of the floor, and if the exam room door were open at the same time as the double doors leading into our unit, everyone in the elevator lobby could have a good look . . . .

I was told to set up the exam room for a pelvic on my patient. So I dutifully went off to set up the exam room. I whipped the door open, turned on the lights, and to my horror saw the naked hairy arse of a man who turned out to be the medical director of the ER and beyond and below him, the pale, stricken face of our director of nurses, both of whom were married to other people. I was so shocked I just stood there with my mouth (and the door) hanging open. At that precise moment, the double doors (automatic doors) swung open, just as an elevator was dispersing a large crowd of people!

He kept his job; she didn't.

Well, former is the key word here thankfully.

This story is about a funny thing done by the doctor who was the Medical Director Of Cardiology on my cardiac floor. Our Medical Director was well known for his sense of humor, and he had done some witty things while making previous rounds on our floor.

One day our BALDING Medical Director stopped by the nursing station and one nurse teased him saying that she was SUDDENLY BLINDED by the reflection of bright light from the ceiling florescent lights SHINING ONTO THE TOP OF HIS BALD HEAD! In response to her teasing, our witty Medical Director smiled, pulled his white handkerchief out of his pocket, unfolded it, placed it on the top of his head, and proceeded to walk down the hall to continue his rounds! He was really a funny and smart guy!

This happened to me while I was a patient. I went to the ER one evening, with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. One of my friends (a guy) had to take me because I seriously couldn't drive due to vomiting. Also, my family lives about 4 hrs away, so there was no one to take me. Well, when I was there, they asked me if there was any way I was pregnant. I understood why they asked this, and told them no, there was no way. (ER nurses, I'm sure you hear that a lot, but seriously, wasn't pregnant). Well, they do a pregnancy test, and sure enough, it was negative. Anyway, they wanted to do a procedure the next morning. So my friend drives me the next day. They still couldn't figure out what was wrong. The ER doc comes in, looks at me and very rudely says, "So your pregnancy test came back negative last night." Turns looks at my friend and asks him, "Is there anything that went on last night that could have changed that?"

I was mortified.

I don't suppose ER docs are known for tact.

During my shift in the delivery room, the resident doctor did episioraphy several times that day and everything turned out well until she accidentally pricked her hand with the needle while doing episioraphy on a Hepa + patient.
