bedpan anyone?

Published

-------------------------------------------------

hospital bulletin:

-------------------------------------------------

in an effort to hold the line on escalating medical costs,

the hopital is reducing the number of bedpans now in use to

one (1).

all patients will be assigned a number,

and when your number is called,

it will be your turn to use the pan.

your number is listed below.

do not forget it!

#697

LOL i'm hanging that one in the break room on my old floor! We have a sign in the "plastics" closet saying that supplies were limited and only deliveered on certain days. Overheard the charge nurse say "well s*** what are we supposed to do, make the pts. take a number for the one bedpan on this floor??"

I'd of thought most facilities would go for this idea.

Cost savings, environmentally conscious, AND a sure eliminator of all the cold bedpan complaints! This is a win-win-win!

What the heck am I missing?
