Nurses whose names give away a tad too much


Nurses whose names give away a tad too much

The head of the nurse bank for Wells Hospital in Somerset was Sister Plaster - not bad for someone whose job was papering over the cracks in the service.
Sister Pauline Iles works at Castle Hill Hospital - my source doesn't say if her friends call her "P" - or if she works in surgery.
If your name was Diana, and you worked in Emergency ... would you let people call you "Di"?
Isobel Risk, who teaches the HIV module in Scotland, signs off as I. Risk
An Accident and Emergency Department in Birmingham boasts a Nurse Payne
Nurse Hacker scrubs regularly in a London Operating Department
Sister De'Ath walks the corridors of a hospice in Victoria
Does Annie Beaver still work in Obstetrics in New York?
Mrs. Ake, a retired RN, was a specialist nurse in rheumatology
Kathy Foley was the head of the Catheter Insertion Team (back when they had those in the old days).
Dr Hui (pronounced "Wee") was a urologist whose wife, a nurse, worked as his office manager. Her name was Pi (pronounced "Pee"). Nurse Cox worked for a different team.
Chris Feely always favoured complementary therapies - especially therapeutic massage, while Nurse Fang was more at home with Cosmetic Surgery.
Ed worked with a nurse, who was a nun, whose last name was Fuchs. He did not know how to pronounce her name - so he asked. And he wanted to die.
Mary Slaughter could never get a post on the Surgical Unit, and Nurse Cutts was never the 'First Pick' Midwife.
Sister Smallbones ran an orthopaedic ward in Stevenage.
Sharon Ward - when she gets promoted - will be Sr. Ward.
RN Melina works on the Endoscopy Unit (or did I make that up?) and Nurse Nurse - she goes where she's sent!


And finally:

There is an orthopaedic surgeon working at St James's Hospital in Leeds who rejoices in the name of Mr Limb - and a Urologist in Bedford ... Mr Waterfall


This one is from Surrey, BC; Canada. The lab technician is taking a blood sample. She says to Mary Stone, "I've never drawn blood from a Stone before".

There was an SHO I used to know years ago in my training, first name "Malina". Can't remember her last name. How unfortunate!
