Never....NEVER...cut a potato in half and use it as a pessary!
Anybody got anything to add?
Never drink turpentine. It will make you feel very hot all over, and you will do the dance of your life. When your mother gives you a tablespoon of sugar to dilute it, it will taste like turpentine too, and for the next 6 months, every time you burp, you will taste it. I know. It happened to me. The turpentine was in a small whiskey bottle laying on my mother's night stand. She said she used it on the horses.
Do not drink a whole bottle of cough syrup thinking that if a little is good then more will be better.
also do not leave a bottle of cough syrup you are using to treat your 5 year old in their reach.

Taught me what not to say to them during an assessment. I was doing great, with my head to toe. Did lungs, BS, HR pain, then heading south said (tonight in fact) I am just going to check the pulses in your feet. "Really? I haven't had anyone do that in a long time." OMG he was a bilateral below knee amputee with bilateral prosthesis on AND I HAD KNOWN THAT> SO DONT-ever- set yourself on automatic pilot when assessing, and "do it just like I always do it." This was not funny and I had to sit down and say well that was probably the dumbest thing I will say today--sometimes it doesnt pay to think of yourself as thorough. I looked at the floor but there was (curiously) no hole to climb into. Poor pt!
I was at a post op appointment after I had my right eye removed january 2007. The tech who checks vision asked me did I have any light perception left in my right eye. I got a bit confused. :trout:

Never play with a rubber ball while naked. You might sit on it and have to go surgery to get it taken out.
