New england....a Bubbler is the water fountain. It's a stretcher not a gurney. It's a Johnnie not a patient gown. It not a "christmas tree" (I'm originally from the midwest) but a nipple connector. It Guaiac not hemoccult. It's a mucous trap not Luki tube (sputum spec. for a vented patient). The Au Pair is the baby sitter. It's soda not Pop, a float not milk shake, and Jimmies not sprinkles.
Triple H enema (high hot and a heckof a lot) and Banana Bags(IV MVI/folate?Mg detox bags). We have Vitamin H, Vitamin V and Vitamin A. We have positive samsonite signs (comes with luggage) and DBQ (dirt bag quotient).
GI cocktail green or pink. (maalox/viscous lido/belladonna (green) or phenobarb (pink)
Just to name a few
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I miss new England!!!! I knew all of these !
In Arizona we called feeding tubes duotubes, but here in salt lake they call them dophoff tubes (not sure if that's spelled right). What do you guys call feeding tubes?
