Full Moon

Have you all experienced an increase of strange behaviors from your patients around the time of a full moon? Or an increase of patients in the ER on days of a full moon?? I'm curious if the fable is true.

You bet it is true......100% true.I hated those nights working in the hospital...absolute nightmare shifts.....

yeah its true, I am male nurse who works in a trauma/Surgery/ neurosurgery ICU level one trauma ctr and I have witnessed a correlation. I do not believe in luck nor happenstance but our traumas are more devastating. If our affiliated university has some sporting activity someone is going to flip their car someway or how.

I used to work at a nursing home and if I forgot it was a full moon, all of the "whipped up" dementia residents reminded me............

my friend is a police officer and she told me that cops usually dread full moons because it means a very busy night for them................

as for babies being born on full moon nights, isn't it the same as lots of babies born on stormy nights? something about a change in barometric pressure that causes ROM or contractions?

I know my dog is really restless during the night when the moon is full - she's so restless that my husband doesn't sleep well - me, I sleep like a rock no matter what..............
