So I just had to share this with people that would understand. Not a rant, just a quick story.
On my ICU floor, we have a stool like object that we use during CPR since or beds are pretty tall. I come into work to see the stool in a patients room. Apparently, she had been using it as a squatty potty. Maybe 10 minutes later, a different patient codes. While we're working on her. I tell the cna which room the stool is in for her to go get. She comes back and says that the patient wouldn't let her take it, even after she explained to the patient that we need it for a code, happening right now.
There are plenty of staff in the room (asking for the stool actually) so I run over and just grab the stool, all the while I can hear the patient making a big stink about me taking her squatty potty. I was just amazed by her selfishness. Stool should not have even been in her room.
She did complain to my charge nurse, but no one really cared.
