What Would You Do: Nursing Edition

What is the worst thing that you've heard a co-worker say to a patient (I wouldn't comment unless you're pretty sure that co-worker wouldn't remember, just in case they're on here). I'll start with myself.. the worst thing I said accidentally. When I was in a patient's room, we had to wait for a computer program to load, so I watched the TV show the patient and her husband were watching and it was discussing a recent beached mutant animal that was thought to be chupicabra or something weird and it turns out it was just a hairless coyote. They then go on to show different hairless animals that look nothing like their species. I said "Wow, it's so strange, you don't even recognize them as a bear/coyote/etc... without their hair. It's like the loss of it totally changes them." The second I walked out the door, it hit me... This was a cancer patient, a woman who has lost all of her hair. I was in tears once I realized. Did not mean to hurt her feelings and went in to apologize soon after. Turns out, she didn't even notice (so she said). I try to be careful what I say. That was an early reminder to be extra careful. A year or two later, a PCT and I were bed-bathing a severely depressed elderly patient that was so depressed she wouldn't talk, just stare into space, though nothing was physically wrong. The PCT said, upon removing the shirt "Wow, those are fake". Ummm... No. I never said anything to her about it, though I wish I would have. I'm sure you've all got stories.
