I read this story in the senior newsletter and thought I would share it.
"A motorcycle cop was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix.
The doctors operated and advised him that all was well. However, the patrolman kept feeling something that was pulling at the hairs on his chest.
Worried that it might be a second surgery that the doctors hadn't told him about, he pulled his hospital gown down enough so he could look at what was making him so uncomfortable.
Taped firmly across his hairy chest were three wide strips of adhesive tape, the ultra sticky kind that doesn't come off once it is put on.
Written in large black letters was the sentence, "Get well soon!"
Actually Shelly - the joke around our ER is that we need a new job called the nurse-police. The nursing staff would carry guns and be able to shoot the offensive folks and then be able to patch them up too! We have had a rash of idiots recently that have threatened violence in our triage and treatment rooms and the staff has had it! We think this might be an interesting job...I sure would sign up. lol
we all (er nurses) know how policemen can sometimes be a pain in the butt, but putting all jokes aside, we are professionals, in a well respected career and nurses should NEVER react to a PATIENT in a vengeful way. Unless you have a personal relationship with that individual and this type of interchange is accepted or even expected, save the thoughts/ expressions of revenge for those you do, lets keep our side up!
if it is only a joke, then I say go for it, we all need to lighten up now and then:roll
