I had a pt's girlfriend ask if he could get a brain transplant after being pronounced brain dead......even after we explained to her that most of our organ donors are brain dead people.

The brother in law then proceeded to ask "What's in it for us if we donate organs?" After being told that we don't pay for them, he then proceeded to ask "Well, will ya'll at least bury him?"

Specializes in NICU.

Over the call box, "I'm bleeding really badly." I ran into the room and there was maaaybe 3ccs of blood on an ABD pad--and that was only visible because the patient had taken off the dressing to look at the incision. I said everything looked good and grabbed a clean dressing.

The patient said, "I'm losing all my blood" and insisted I have the doc in to look (around midnight, of course :rolleyes: ) I work at a teaching hospital, so I had the resident come down. He wasn't worried about the bleeding, but he did prescribe valium, LOL :).
