How about a large bottle of Valium in the med cabinet. When you needed one for a patient you just took it. Making up packs for surgery. If you got the wrong count of clamps you got hell from the surgeons. Glass IV bottles. Rubber sheets on the beds. Step stools next to the beds so you could reach over the patient if you had to. Making all thos little graphs in the charts of B/ps and pulse rates in Black, blue or red ink, depending on what shift you were working. Testing the needles for burrs with cotton before you put them in the sterilizer. All temps were taken with rectal thermometers every four hours. Testing urine with those tablets that made the tube hot when it boiled and changed colors.

It is not uncommon to see inmates feigning medical problems. They want to see the nurses, or some attention. I've been in corrections twenty years and believe me, I've seen it all. I had an inmate who wanted to use the scale. I let him into the office and watched as he straddled the scale. He scratched his head a couple of times and asked me,"does this scale work?" I stepped on the scale and balanced the weights and said yes it does. He again straddled the scale. At that point I threw him out of the office. I do not know of a three year old who doesn't know to step on the scale to make it work. I just thought I'd throw that in for laughs. :rotfl:
