Me: what are we seeing you for today? Pt: i'm here for my recheck on my rash down there (points to groin). I have pt. change into a gown and take his underwear off. he doesn't say anything. (doc is female, pt. is male) dr. goes in the room does examination ..can't find rash ... lifting scrotum, moving things aside, etc.... DR: well, good, the rash seems to have cleared. Pt: uh doc, the rash is up here.... (points to lower abd.) share your oops stories. :)

im a derm nurse.. patient on the phone: hi, my name is ___ and i just had an autopsy done and i just wanted to know what the results were? ..she meant biopsy. :smackingf

um that's NOT "how it works there." i worked at a nursing home as a new grad (first job - right out of school). i reported EIGHT nurses/cna's (one was an rn that was doing meth) for smoking weed on breaks and then doing patient care, for stealing narcotics, and other things. they all got fired or "quit" because they refused to do the random drug test. it's YOUR responsibility to report something that is unethical or else you're practically doing it, too. it's not right, and thats why so many ltc facilites are messed up and families don't know what's going on while their loved one lay in their soiled clothing because some idiots decided to do drugs on the job instead. it's very important you report because it will be your license on the line!
