  1. Trying to research if this baby death actually happened...

    rph3664 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Someone wrote a book about this case; I found it at a garage sale and was glad that was the case because it was completely unreadable and I gave up a few pages into it. I thought it was about the...

  3. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    On a more family-oriented note, a woman I work with brought her then-preschool age daughter in to the ER after said daughter had confessed to sticking a doll eye up her nose. It was one of those flat...

  4. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    Because the lock and his man parts were there? I've heard of guys using all kinds of things as **** rings, but a padlock? You're just asking for trouble. I once saw a picture of a guy with the member...

  5. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    Guess I forgot to mention that the woman had a known seizure disorder that was poorly controlled. Ever seen "The 40 Year Old Virgin"? Could you imagine kids watching that and thinking people really...

  6. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    This is a bit OT but I hope you will understand. It's not work safe either. I once worked at this small hospital where it was quite well known that one of the ER docs was a recovering alcoholic. No...

  7. My family can't believe nurses don't get breaks

    rph3664 replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    We get breaks at the hospital pharmacy where I now work, but I had a few experiences in retail where lunch was a Slim-fast bar purchased from the rack 5 feet away, and my brother, who does not work in...

    rph3664 replied to gennifergen's topic in General Nursing

    Pharmacists either, unless they literally do not do anything which describes one pharmacist (Lazy Tom) I once worked with. I thought it was just our location, but I later met someone (Nice Tom) who...

  9. How high have you titrated levophed?

    rph3664 replied to racing-mom4's topic in MICU, SICU

    We have made octuple strength Levophed drips, although they were usually cases of people on numerous other drips AND fluid restriction. I don't know how high the titration went since in the pharmacy,...

  10. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    rph3664 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I've known of a few people who went to pharmacy school so they would have easy access to drugs. There are much easier and cheaper ways to do that as

  11. Funniest injury you have ever seen.....

    rph3664 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    Ever seen "This Is Spinal Tap"? There's a scene where the band is going through an airport metal detector, and it goes off when Derek, the bass player, passes through. He gets wanded, and it squawks...

  13. Funniest injury you have ever seen.....

    rph3664 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    I have a friend who did this to the tip of a pinky finger. Thing is, it grew back because it was cut off beyond the base of the nail; it doesn't look like the one she was born with but it has a...

  14. Funniest injury you have ever seen.....

    rph3664 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    How did the patient's friend find out? If s/he was a hospital employee, s/he could have lost their job, even before

  15. Funniest injury you have ever seen.....

    rph3664 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    So that isn't an urban legend after all! Note to kids (and adults) with braces: Be careful when you share a strand of spaghetti a la "Lady and the Tramp." :chuckle Better this than the girl who had...

  16. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    rph3664 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    There's a male nurse/female physician married couple who both work at my hospital. They're middle aged (he's about 10 years older than she is) and they have no

  17. phone calls no outsider would believe

    rph3664 replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    Fuzzy probably works at an animal hospital. There are several vet techs who post on this board, and their stories are at least as outrageous as any told by

  18. phone calls no outsider would believe

    rph3664 replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    I hear stories like that and wonder why people do that - go to all the trouble of bringing the person in, and then don't enter the building. Did they shoot them, or are they afraid of being billed...

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    My 8-year-old niece wants to be a doctor. She devours age-appropriate medical books and her heroes are Hannah Montana and Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman physician. One of the resident...

    rph3664 replied to greyghost12345's topic in General Nursing

    My dad sometimes asks me if there are any interesting patients in the hospital, and I always tell him, "Sure! Can't tell you about them, but yeah." Once in a while, a patient's story will be told in...

  23. "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"

    rph3664 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    "Diving Bell" is in my Netflix queue too. I read the book some years back, and that other book is actually called "Bed Number Ten" by Sue Baier. It came out in the early 1980s, a few years after her...

  24. Diagnoses you never thought you'd see?

    rph3664 replied to KarafromPhilly's topic in General Nursing

    Are you an identical twin? If you aren't, then you are probably the survivor of identical twins (if you didn't know, it's believed that as many as 10 percent of human pregnancies may start out this...

  25. Parents of kids with autism, please read

    rph3664 replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    And you're addressing me. No, I do not think that questioning how vaccines are administered is a colander on the head thing. I do think that the concept that they exist as a conspiracy to produce a...
