Mixed in with the doom and gloom that often times comes with the nursing profession, there can be humor. Sometimes, it's the patients who intentionally or unintentionally bring a smile to your face or make you burst out with uncontrollable laughter. For our Patients Say the Darnedest Things contest, user @TriciaJ submitted her memorable and humorous moment:
QuoteThere was a postop patient on our floor whose doctor wouldn't allow us to feed her until she passed gas. She was getting quite peckish but not having any luck. She made herself a sign to hold up when anyone came in the room "Will Fart for Food".
