I got out late from work today. Want to know why?

:p

I'm going to tell you anyway:

End of the day, lots of things going on and its time to pass meds.

Pt. calls me in his room to ask me a question. Scene: Pt. standing at bedside, hand out with paper wadded up in it, face innocent and childlike, very casual mannerisms. Tells me: "I put this in my butt, and now when I poop there is a little blood."

OK

Ummmmm............

Well.................

Checked for rectal bleeding, nothing active. Inform attending and get the H/H order I want. Go through all the formal things (document etc) AND SPEND SOME TIME DOING PT EDUCATION ON WHY WE DON'T PUT FOREIGN OBJECTS IN OUR BUTTS.:mad:

Pt calls me in the room to ask me a question again. This time it is "I know I can't put things in my butt.............and I won't, but does my finger count?"

OK

Ummmm............

Well............

More education provided ON WHY WE DON'T PUT FOREIGN OBJECTS, INCLUDING OUR FINGER, IN OUR BUTTS.

Passing meds. I have gotten everything under control, everyone else if fine. Yes, I know I know, I am such an intolerant nurse. I saved this guys meds for last.

What does he say to me? That he want to take all his meds as suppositories. ALL of them.

Poor Erik. I'd say get the guy a colonoscopy, except he'd probably be like Bill Murray in "Little Shop of Horrors"
