One of our charge nurses seems to have lost leave of her senses.
Have just worked the night shift and she has all but licked the doctor all night long, in fact for the last two weeks. She has taken to bringing him food, plates it all up and serves it to him on a tray.
She gets nurses to go and get him bottles of Pepsi from the vending machine, like we are all his skivvies. He clearly loves it. I had to go once, but spent the journey back shaking the bottle as hard as I could so it all fizzed up when opened.
Last night they were sat there talking and he was going on about how all the other charge nurses are lazy...she was nodding, smiling, agreeing with his every word.
I really don't think she should be discussing nurse performance with a doctor. It isn't his business if they are lazy or not (they are not!).
It is so embarrassing.
originally posted by smcabeeno, no, no....if you want to get all even, especially on the night shift,what you do is offer to pour his nice little soda over a nice cup of ice and then squirt about 10mg of lasix in there. watch him start squirming in a little bit. also works for nasty charge nurses, managers or whomever else you feel needs a little kick.how funny, i couldn't do it but the thought...lol.
i'm too much of a softie to do this-i'd feel too guilty, but someone once told me that a drop or two of visine in someone's drink will cause some explosive diarrhea.
you can always *imagine* the results....

just an fyi (not specifically directed at you, just in general) most forms of visine contain imidazoline decongestants. it can have clonidine-like effects with a small dose ingested. cns/resp depression, bradycardia, hypotension. i've seen a kid become comatose from it.
