A few years ago I had a nasty infection in my leg, requiring a surgery and A brief stay in the hospital for antibiotics. I was feeling rough! My surgery site required packing with wet to dry dressing. My day shift nurse was especially brutal when unpacking and packing the wound. I was very vocal about how mean she was being to me and screaming ow ow ow ow ow the entire dressing change, and she would tell me I was a sissy. (I knew she wasn't really being mean and I am a sissy) Every time she walked in the room I would groan and say "Oh NO! not you again!" or "help me she is here to kill me this time!!!!"And she would say something funny "like too much paperwork to kill you "back to me. We would go back and forth like this the whole shift. after 3-4 days I was being discharged and as I walked out of my room I saw about twenty people from the staff lining either side of the hall applauding my departure! I thought this was the funniest thing I had ever seen! I know I didn't hit the call light that much! Now that I am nearly a nurse, I can appreciate all the effort it took her to get all of those people together and lined up for the moment of my departure. I really did like her. She kept me on my toes!! Please tell any funny or different stories about things you have done or said to patients at discharge. (side note: Do nurses do this kind of thing regularly?)
