Catheter Clutz

[Lynn Casey RN]

One night shift a coworker asked for my help after three failed catheter attempts with an 82 yo lady.In I went and she followed with a big flashlight.On the second attempt,I found it!As I was inserting it I contaminated the tip on her thigh.I meant to say "I am such a clutz" and/or "I am so ditzy" and instead ,with my face right down in there...."I'm so clitzy!" All three of us laughed but the patient laughed so hard she peed!YEAH!
