Funny/Strange things other hospital employees have done????

I worked in the ED of a large inner city hospital in Houston. The county morgue was in the basement under the ED. The place was way too small for all the bodies they had in there, so sometimes they were just stacked up. It was especially bad during the summer when they would find "floaters" and the smell that came up from there was horrible. In any case, a funeral company came one night to pick up a body and could not get the elevator door to the morgue to open. I called the maint. man and he went to have a look. He came back up and told me he could not find anything wrong. So finally I went down there myself and there was an arm caught in the elevator door so it would not close. I had to pull the arm out of the door to get the elevator to work again.

We have a nurse who writes the word "poop" in random places on the unit. Not the charts, of course but on memos hung in the break room, the doctors phone book, ect.

For some reason this is so funny to me. I will be reading the education board and find the word "poop" written in between the lines......

He usually writes it on things that people are upset about in the unit. New paperwork, stupid rules etc. It's very satisfying...

That's not funny OR strange....just lazy. Poor you having to "work" with her.

We have a unit secretary who just leaves orders undone on the chart. When she gets an order she can't understand, she just leaves it. She wont ask for help or ask anyone what something means. When I get her charts to sign off (I am the charge nurse) I have to go into the computer and verify that all the orders are there. It is a real pain in the A--.
