StatBlues

On my first official day in the OR, in the middle of a case, one of our ortho docs yelled "I need the Otis elevator, STAT!!" My precepting nurse said "Go grab it. It's right out in the hall" as he pretended to be busy doing something. I was running through the halls, scanning the cupboards for some ortho instrument that I never heard of, when Tim (a surgical tech) walked by and asked what I was looking for. I frantically explained that "Dr. Bozo" (not his real name...lol) needed the Otis elevator, STAT!!! Very calmly, he said "It's right over here" and led me over to the main hospital elevators, just outside the OR entrance. He pointed to the the top of the elevator's doors where the elevator company's logo was displayed. I looked up and saw a small metal plaque with "OTIS" written on it. I was so embarrassed. I didn't even go back to the room (my precepting nurse was still in there...I would never abandon my patient!). Men are so dumb! Us girls in my OR never do that to the newbies!! (Well at least not as often!!)

I guess, before he got on the vent ?

I agree it is not needed for all! Patient comes in and is hurting or agitated. Needs help with the problem they come in with. Not asking anything about their mental status. Like, yea I am depressed , sad, and emotional...... I am in the ER Hello!! :)

Thank you all for sharing your stories. Do you believe, there are more happenings during the holidays? Such as Christmas??

Thank you all for sharing your stories. I just pray none of them, hang out forever....and go into the light.

Might be best to turn this room into a office, storage or something. If not, how can you tell if it is the "room" making them see and do things. Or not? Would you want to be a pt, in there?? I think not.

Anything new happen lately?

Merlyn Really enjoyed your story about Sam :)

have you spoken to the ghost in your home? ========= [color=#a52a2a]

Sad story. I pray someone will come and help this soul cross over. And, any others still there.

So, how did you get the child out of the room?

Thank you all for sharing your stories. Keep them coming!

Just wanted to leave you some hugs**:redpinkhe

Did you not think about this at all after you did this? Very interesting..... I am sorry for your loss xoxox

Merging with? :)

I am sorry for the loss of your dad. I know we all would like the answers to your questions. Fact is we do not know for sure. We can only guess. I believe whatever your dad was mad at God about. Was cleared up when he, crossed over. :) And, I believe your dad will be watching over you, as he can. Perhaps you can talk to a counselor about missing your dad. Better way to go than in this, thread xoxo ================

Very creepy! Hope your friend found a new job, with no ghost!

"at least he remeberd to flush..."

I know that made your heart sing, Ruby!! Merry Christmas xoxo
