If You Give a Patient a Cookie

I am under the impression that it's impossible not to take pleasure in at least a little bit of dark humor as a nurse. It just comes with the territory. Much thanks to the original children's book this story is a satire of. Also to my coworker who noted that answering call lights is often like this book. Give a patient something little, and they just want more! Gotta love 'em.

So what I learned from this story is this...

1. Don't eat the cookies.

2. Don't give cookies to pts.

3. Things can go downhill quite quickly.

Awesome story.
