Fomite is my new favorite word because it sounds like a sandwich spread.

The tubing for GT feeds has a huge label on it that says NOT FOR IV.

I wonder if someone out there has made that mistake and that's why that label is there.

Totally not nursing-related but related to labels and warnings.

On my way to work, I saw a Milky Way Chocolate tanker truck on the freeway. The tank had a huge sign on its back spout that says INEDIBLES ONLY.

I wonder if some Homer Simpson wannabe out there thought it was a good idea to put their mouth on the spout, open it and let a river of delicious chocolate come cascading out... but instead got some caustic yucky chemical involved in the manufacturing process.

If that did happen, I bet the ED nurses who dealt with it got a laugh.
