Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

[/quote]

Me: what makes you think that?
Him: It itches.
Me: You can't itch your prostate
Him: I think its from sweating or,maybe its that new laundry detergent you bought.
Me: You can't itch your prostate it's internal
Him: no its not. I can see it
Me: Sorry to break it to you babe but that is your scrotum.
Him: I't doesn't hurt when I pee
Me: just forget it[/quote]



made me cry, before your vasectomy i need to shave your prostate.

I had come home after my first code and my patient didn't make it. I was venting to my DH and telling him how doing CPR on a real person is so much different from the CPR dummy when he asked if the pt had made it to which I replied no.

He told me that I must not have been doing CPR right...*sigh*

you arent going to sleep all day are you?
after i worked a 3pm to 7am shift..............

A friend of mine was sent home from a shift with pneumonia so severe they wanted to admit her and she was getting IM antibiotics BD from her GP.

Her husband: I think I have the same thing but without the chest part

OK, to the one who's DH said she hadn't been doing CPR right - girl, you want us to hurt him?? 'Cause we will!

To the one who's DH gave them crap about "sleeping all day"...yeah, I got that on a regular basis too. I worked 3 12's 7p-7a, and by that third day, I was dead on my feet, ready to kill anyone who suggested I didn't have the right to pass out for 24 hours or however long it took me to recooperate, especially if it had been a busy weekend in the local "gun and knife club". :-\

Folks just don't get it. That's why it's so important for us to stick together.

I love that you called him a dork!!! That was the funniest thing I read!!!

It wasn't my significant other, but a friend who was a nursing technician, of all people. I told her someone was lying prostrate on the ground. She gasped and told me the prostRate was the organ inside a man.
#2 I said I had had impetigo as a child and she corrected me: It's "infantigo" because only infants get it.

lol that's hysterical!

the INFANTigo has me rolling.

reminds of some sick slips i saw in the Army, where the soldier right their chief complaint on the slip, there are so many spellings of diarrhea, but many would just right "the *****" to avoid ridicule.

one off the top of my head was "aunt bites"
