this radio dj "reviews" his hospital stay. he feels he would be in "better hands if i had nurses that were sexy". grrr!! tired of men thinking nurses are pin-up girls in stiletto heels wearing white miniskirts! what a jerk!
hey whats up? big boy here. as a lot of people may have noticed i have not been on the radio much the past couple of days. that is because i have been in the hospital. since i have not been able to share some of my experiences on-air i thought i would do it right here online.
first of all i am in here because i have a skin infection called cellulitis. it is on my right leg and it really sucks. it has been very painful but thank god for pain meds. when you really need them they are truly a blessing. as far as the rest of my experience, i guess it has been okay other than a few major flaws. first off i know no one likes to be in the hospital (other than my dad). one thing that is truly messed up in the health system is in order to be admitted to the hospital you have to go through e.r. now just to walk through the door of the e.r your looking at about a $2,000 charge at least so if you do not have insurance or you are poor you’re screwed. i feel like that is wrong and should be stopped but you know how that goes doctors and politicians walk hand in hand.
my next biggest complaint is by far the food. the nearly 8 grand price tag it cost to be admitted to the hospital should totally include some 5 star food like steak and lobster. i realize it is not a resort but i do think part of the getting well process should be great comfort food. my next thing was the room accommodations, with it being a hospital it obviously gets a great vote for being clean but the beds are basically cheap foam and cotton covered in water proof plastic. i swear my bed could be used as a flotation device. i have greatly enjoyed all of the buttons my bed has to offer as i treated it like a theme park ride all weekend. it has kept me amused. however i have to be in this bed pretty much at all times. my back and my butt are killing me. they need some nice pillow top mattresses so people can sleep well.
my last thing is maybe the least important but it would be a nice change in community hospitals. i know there are a lot i repeat a lot of sexy nurses here in the tri-state. during my stay i had none. i had a few that were as evil as they were ugly. one lady was like 70 and she seemed as if she had just had a stroke. there was even one bigger than me with very hairy man arms as well as a few that were very nice and helpful. i just feel that i would feel in much better hands if i had nurses that were sexy. i would want them stabbing me with needles, checking my vitals and doing to me what ever the doc ordered. any chance to get them to touch me would be amazing. well that is my hospital experience and what i feel that it should be. please leave me your feed back below
And hey, I am single, so where do I sign up to ride that ride?
So long as you do not mind wearing your "sexy nurse" halloween costume from Fredrick's, I go ahead and get some cellulitis going so that by Friday you will be compelled to have dinner and a movie!
I get annoyed with things like this bc i deal with patients like this almost every single day, however I do get a chuckle bc I can so picture the pt i had today doing that same thing in the picture... HAHAHA. It's not funny, but I cannot help but laugh picturing this
Seriously though, I think that patients probably want a nurse (male or female) that does appear as though they take care of themselves. I can say that I would not like to have a nurse that had not bathed or that was wearing dirty clothing or had matted hair caring for me. I equally would not want a nurse that was too worried about breaking a nail or messing up their shoes trying to help me post op to the toilet risking a fall or strain on a suture line. That being said it is absurd for the media to continue to portray nurses as either sex objects that sleep with the docs or gay men in a "women's" profession. I worked very hard to become a licensed professional and I take it seriously. Despite the imperfections of our patients, we can only continue to try to project nursing as a vital role in the healthcare industry that requires highly educated and specially trained individuals to ensure the best patient outcomes and hospital experiences. We must learn to set boundaries with our patients and their families as much as possible.
I'm just a lowly nursing student, but I do hope that when I do get out there in the field, I'm recognized for my skills as a professional and a nurse, not for my haircut or body.
I wonder, would this DJ rather have a disheveled nurse that isn't a perfect 10 work her/his butt off to save their life or have a sexy nurse that didn't want to get her hands dirty or break a nail? lol!

Exactly what I am saying! I do not give a darn what you look like so long as you can save my life!
There is a difference in being hygienic, groomed and well dressed and being sexy. Big Boy was not concerned about the former, but the latter. Therein lies the problem.
As professionals there are certain standards that need to be met when it comes to appearance. You need to clean be in body and clothing, with no offensive body odor/fragrance, etc. etc. But you don't need to be SEXY.
The idiot had too much time on his hands and not enough pain/illness. How sick you are, I find, is inversely proportional to how much of a whiner/jerk you are.
The important thing is that we're alllll taking his blog post seriously and being offended. By a radio shock jock. Whose job is to make jokes in poor taste.

I not only believe not, I hope not.
