Re: Funny things that pts say
Last week at work we had a pt that smelt really bad. He was 50-yrs-old. I had asked him why he did not use the call button, when he needed help to the bathroom? He replied it takes to long and when I have to go it comes quick.
So later that day he had already had three showers, he called for a nurse. The RN that had him told me to come with her to his room. The RN knocked at the door, the pt yelled just a minute.

The pt was naked, he ran in the shower. So we opened the door and the floor was covered in yellow thick stuff. The RN yelled what is it?

The pt was saying UMM UMM UMM. The RN said is that pee? The pt said NO. I was trying to keep my giggle under control. The RN said well what is it? The pt said UMM UMM Okay, I messed up. He said it's crap! It's yellow crap, he yelled.
So as we were cleaning it up the RN about slipped in it. I told her later, she had a yellow stripe down her back. It was funny.
You have to laugh most of the time, other wise you want to cry, LOL.
