I saw one of the doctors I worked with at the store to have him say- " I almost didn't recognize you with clothes on." Then he tried to correct himself after everyone around was staring at me to say I meant not in scrubs, but it was too late.

"You just have to float it in." Says the dr to the ER nurse attempting an IV on a long time drug user with tore up veins.

I work in a psychiatric facility. One of my patients was scheduled to have court-ordered ECT therapy the next morning and was refusing to go. I called the Psychiatrist to get further orders and ask what we should do. Her exact words and WRITTEN orders were as follows: "Have security pick patient up and place in van for ECT. He can go naked if that's what gets him in there."

Thank you. It is so rare

Elderly clinic doctor: "her booty is getting bigger, I like it."

Me: "Doctor, you can't say that."

Doctor: "I'm old, I can say whatever I want." (Sheepish smile)

How about the Doctor's phone? Walked up to a Doc to notify of a situation. His phone began to ring. The ringtone began singing "I love it when you call me big Pa-Pa."

Overhearing another nurse tell the Doctor "Her stool smells like C-diff." Doctor: "Well what does it taste like?"

"Roll over so I can check your back passage."

"Put down the fork"

When I worked at an assisted living I called a patients doctor and informed him of the patients decline recently, and his response was what do you want me to do? She old!

Guess quality of life is out of the question..

"Don't call me again unless she codes." Placed in the chart as a verbal order.

"Don't call me again unless she codes." Written in the chart as a verbal order.

While working with a podiatrist and some student nurses, the Dr. took off the sock of a very bad diabetic patient. As he did 3 little black, pebble looking pieces fell out of his sock. The student nurse thinking she was being helpful, bent over and picked them up and handed them to the patient and said you dropped something. The Dr said nope those were his toes! And the patient instantly dropped them, along with the jaws of everyone else in the room.
