Re: Funny things that pts say
Sedated adults ARE fun. Sedated kids are
hilarious!!! I've worked in a kids ward for 10 years, and being in the country, we did surgery as well as medical. Dealing with kids after they've had a pre-med and before they go in can really make your day. I had one 3yo boy being transferred to theatre on the trolley, with mum walking beside him and me pushing him. He was happy and giggly, falling all over himself as he bounced on the mattress. Mum had been anxious about sending jnr in for surgery, but that disappeared real quick! She couldn't hold a straight face as she watched his antics! The climax came as he tottered to his knees and flung his arms out wide, shouting. "I'm flying, I'm flying" as the trolley made its way down the hall. Mum lunged in to catch him before he tried to 'fly' off the trolley, saying "I don't know about flying, but you sure are high!" We both laughed until I couldn't push him anymore.
There are times when you just HAVE to join in and let your hair down.
