    In the ER, 9 times out of 10 when I asked the patient what brought them in their response starts with "Well uh whut had happen is ..."
    LOL....but don't forget the sentence that was said just BEFORE the accident: "Hey, Bob, betcha think I can't do THIS....!" or "Hey, watch me!"

    Um, no Dude, you obviously couldn't. And he shouldn't.

    LOL...

    I have used this one for years:

    (wishing I could say it out loud to a patient)

    That big blue and white "H" out front doesn't stand for Hilton OR Hotel!

    You had a knee replacement, not a hand replacement; so no, I will not wipe your butt for you.:icon_roll
    The other day I had a pt on the commode who called and said "I'm ready to be wiped." No. Not happening.

    Also: If you don't want to be woken up to have vitals taken, assessments done, labs drawn, and post op meds administered, maybe you shouldn't have had elective surgery. Just sayin'. Go ahead and fill out that survey.

    I had a pt call the other day and order a coffee with 3 sugars. If I'm going to be a waitress, do I get to ask for a tip?

    We can see a Hilton from our hospital, maybe I should start offering to take them over there.

    I'm sorry you are in 4 point leather restraints sir, but I am not going to scratch your balls for you.

    I had one resident tell me that I couldn't check her blood sugar because I asked..."You're supposed to sneak up and just do it."
    Me: "And Ms. LOL, you aren't going to hit me when I do that?"
    LOL: "No, I don't hit people."

    uh, huh.

    Squirting your co-worker with NS flush is amusing on a slow night. Having said co-worker shoot KY jelly more than 10 feet into your thick, curly, long hair is not as much fun.
    At least it was a coworker and at least it was only the KY

    and i don't care that it's your fantasy to be tied up by a busty blonde and "taken advantage of", either.
