may i thank you 100,000,000 times? i have had a crappy week. i watched as my best friend's dad took his last breath yesterday, and in a few hours, she and i are going to pick her brother and his wife up at the airport. they've been on their honeymoon, and don't know that dad died.
for some reason, this post just did it for me. thanks a million!
We just discharged an 8 y/o boy who had a spider in his ear. Needless to say when I heard the problem I told the other nurse he was hers, I can not deal with spiders, or bugs, ick! The grandmother said the boy sleeps on her floor alot and the spider must have crawled in there because it was dark and warm.

I've seen quite a few strange complaints but the funniest I ever had personally was about a month ago, one of our frequent flyer crackheads came in with chief complaint listed as : my left buttcheck is bigger than the right, so of course i roll my eyes and go see him and ask him if it hurts etc, and he says, i kid you not "no, but its throwing off my balance and interfering with my gymnastics and tennis lessons" i couldnt help it, i just started laughing lol you'd have to see this guy, crazy hair standing straight up with eyes about to pop out of his head missing half his teeth.. lol
I went to the ER once with blood clots, they determined it was just menorrhagia, acted like I was wasting their time and without so much as a blood test sent me home. A year later, my new primary doctor found out the real problem was stage 4 uterine cancer. I may have mispronounced things, I'm not sure...it's hard to tell when you were as anemic as I was.
I'm not trying to be mean, I know what you go through and how silly some people can be. I spent a month in the hospital after my diagnosis and my nurses became my family at the hardest time in my life.
