From the mouths of non-nurses

I had a very funny 80ish year old male recently who despised his foley catheter. He was getting up to ambulate and grabbed ahold of the bag and told me to slow down because he needed to grab his "**** purse." I about lost it on that one!

When my father had his CABG in October, the doctor came in the night before to explain the procedure, and my father is a wise a** anyways! The doctor said "John, your here for a CABG" and my father said "A cabbage? I thought I was getting a tomato!" The doctor busted out laughing!
