Default Blooper on taped report
Speaking of taped reports, years ago we were listening to an LVN who had a pronounced Texas twang give her report. The patient was an 80 year old man who had pneumonia which was caused by multiple organisms, but when the LVN gave the diagnosis, she said "pneumonia with multiple orgasms". We NEVER let her live that one down!

Young man called the office and told me that he had to take a drug test, as part of his pre employment requirements. The problem was that he has smoked a joint the night before the drug test and wanted to know what to do.

My answer: Don't smoke a joint, when you know you have to take a drug test.

Ooops.

When I was a new grad, I was working on a unit in LTC that was adjoining to another unit.Well I was doing 3-11p and it was about 10:45 when I saw this man wander over to my unit from the other unit, so I carefully approached him and explained he was on the wrong unit and we needed to go see his nurse, he looked at me funny,paused and said Hi I'm Dr so and so. I ALMOST DIED.After that I avoided him like the plague>LOL

I work nights - MD comes in Monday morn, all docs and nurses are sitting around for report. He tells me daughter is prego and getting married. Daughter used to be a friend of mine, not anymore; so I say loudly enough for everyone to hear"is the baby his (fiances)?", just knowing that daughter is, can we say promiscuous. He turns red and says "Dear, Ijust hope so." Icould have about stuck my foot in my mouth right then and there!!!
