  1. I remember working at a hospital in Washington, DC and a Surgeon threw a key elevator at one of the nurses who worked there and it hit her in the head. He was upset that they didn't have the prosthesis he needed. She happen to be a friend of mine a...

  3. Bizarre! Bizarre! Bizarre!

    So one day they rushed this male patient over to the OR from the ER for an exploratory lap. Fine! No! Problem! I've done that many times. Sure I was only into my second year as a RN working in surgery, but by then exploratory laps were standard t...

  8. Warning! Warning! Warning! Be Careful Where You Work

    After the fact, it was very frightening to say the least but everyone turned out just fine! If a staff member sees my post they may mention the hospital but I'm not going to do that because it's really a good place to work all things considered.

    That particular doctor had a serious temper and I was always surprised to see he made it that far in his career. He did say that the key elevator slipped out of his hand and it was not intended to be thrown. However, it was not the first time he th...

    It was a nine inch long, 1&3/4 inch round, 3&1/2lb metal chisel. With the head beaten flatt to where it splits at the edge. The same type your dad used to pound with a sledge hammer to bust bricks, concrete, etc. etc. It tore the poor guy'...
  17. Would like your opinion

    I've traveled with many and I will never mislead you but if you are looking for a really good company. I recommend Hospital Support out of Austin, Texas. The only bad rap I have for them is there limited locations. It depends on what you are look...
