kind of like the "overheard in the subway/at the office/in NYC" blogs If you heard anything funny at work, share it here!
today i was making small talk with a patient and noticed a framed picture on her table of her and her husband in front of the Trevi fountain in Rome.
me: you've been to Italy? How nice!
patient: ugh, it was dirty. The whole city is filthy. Italy is just dirty, and the people are all pushy and rude, no manners. Don't ever ask an Italian to take your picture; they'll steal your camera and run away laughing at you.
a minute later,
patient: so where are you from? i mean, originally?
I was working post partum and helping a new mom with breast feeding. She said "I want to make sure the baby gets as much Clostridium as possible, since it's so good for him."
Hard of hearing LOL asked for help with her sleeve and was asked to "raise your hand" somehow she thought it was said to "raise your shirt" and did so...no bra on. Another LOL was nearby and burst out laughing and said "wow, that was weird"
All staff nearby about fell out of their chairs:wideyed:
"you have a sweet ass, my dear." As a patient is fondling himself beneath the covers in front of an entire room of physicians, SW, CM, and ancillary staff. Oy.
When I was working at a social day program at a nursing home around age 20... 80 something year old man slowly makes his way over to the chair next to me. Little by little he nudges closer to me then whispers "Looking good. You have nice teeth". A few minutes later "You have nice teeth. Where did you get your dentures?"
Same 80 something year old man. Takes my hand to hold it and I think awwww how cute:) Then he whispers in my ear "Do you want to feel the fire?" as he motions to his man parts.

Um, I think you meant Colostrum.
She was a nurse.

I was working PRN at a LTC facility and while making rounds with a salty seasoned veteran nurse we were discussing a complicated patient and had the curtain pulled. We hear his roommate say, (in his ladies man voice), "Who is the new nurse. She's a cute one... I'm gonna' marry her." Salty seasoned nurse doesn't miss a beat replies, "Insert ladies man name here, well she has six kids and has been looking for a sugar daddy."
We hear a pouty little,"Nevermind." from behind the curtain. I loved that nurse.

That is a GREAT one for the "Say it Correctly" thread, that's somewhere on this site. Maybe the nurse was thinking about C-Diff! LOL
This happened in a bus. My friend was singing in his mind as we sit near the door of the bus. I was looking at the road patiently. When we hit a bump, my friend farted. It was his intention to fart as we hit the bump so that no one would notice. However, he failed. Everyone stared at him including me. Only then, he realized he has wearing a headset.
