    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]

  2. 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*

    :angryfire That's just mean.

    For revenge, you should do what one of my students did. In skills lab, they were practicing catheterization and for some reason I still don't understand, each student was permitted to take home one catheter. One of my students said that her boyfriend saw hers in her car and asked what it was. She told him---and then said that her assignment was to "practice" on somebody!

    Better yet---the boyfriend believed her!

    No, she didn't really cath him. At least, I don't THINK she did.
  4. you arent going to sleep all day are you?
    after i worked a 3pm to 7am shift..............
  5. 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
  6. 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.

  7. Quote from nurseofalltrades
    Regardless of my husbands symptoms everything he has is "the gout"... If he has diarrhea he says "I think i have the gout" . No need trying to explain to him what that is ....he is a dork!


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

  8. 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.

  10. 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"
