I think nursing school is getting to me...

I was watching Law & Order tonight, and they were interviewing a big-shot physician. I noticed a cheap little Sprague stethoscope around his neck and couldn't help think that not many physicians would use one of those lol...

Thanks for the replies everyone, glad I'm not the only one, though a few weeks ago, I was watching a show where a guy was having some tests done, he asks the doc "am I gonna die?" and the doc says "lets cross that bridge when we get to it."

I looked at my wife and told her that wasn't proper therapeutic communication LOL...she looked at me like I was nuts. :chuckle

You are too CUTE!!!! I hate THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION...AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Specializes in NICU.

In my area we have a commercial running right now for a local medical institute that trains MA's, CNA's, etc. The young lady they have on the commercial talks enthusiastically about how now she understands what they are doing on ER!

I, too have scoffed at, yelled at, and picked apart medical scenes and shows. Interestingly, I watched a WWII era airplane movie my uncle who was a pilot in the air force and HE picked apart the airplane stuff the same way I pick apart medical stuff.

Sorry for barging in on this thread, but I just had to tell RN4NICU that I LOVE your signature! :) Hope you don't mind that I wrote it down. It will be great encouragement for me, when I start school next semester!

I especially liked the opening of a Steven Seagal movie in which our hero wakes up from a coma with paraplegia, thwarts a murder attempt from a stretcher (while all around him people are dropping like flies), recruits a nurse to help rescue him (who subsequently abandons her patients, and then later goes back to work without missing a beat), and both successfully escape.

I tell ya, some of these patients are just amazing. :rotfl:

yep 10 years in a coma and not a contracture in site. Hmmm, they must have a great nursing and physical therapy at that place.

I just watched a medical show on Lifetime (can't remember the name for the life of me!) where the doctor put her steth in her ears backwards! Told the patient her pacemaker was working fine. LOL! :rolleyes: The show wasn't bad overall though. LOL :)

How about 007 in "Die another day" when he makes his own heart stop and then escapes? Wasn't that "amazing".:rotfl:
