Labor patient with a rather elaborate floral tattoo just above her pubic hair. My coworker was doing something that had the patient uncovered. The other nurse didn't make any comments about the tattoo, but the patient volunteered, "I wanted a pretty tattoo so my husband would have something nice to look at when my husband goes down on me." umm, thanks for sharing.
I had a patient that was a "vegan" and trying to order lunch from a heart healthy menu. There are some high sodium items that you can't have with this diet, pizza and pancakes being two of them.
BREAKFAST
Patient: Call the doctor, they won't let me order pancakes. They are telling me I need to order French toast.
Me: You don't like French toast?
Patient: No, I don't eat fetuses and French toast is full of them!

well in her defense french toast is made by dipping bread in eggs...eggs=chicken fetus, so I can get why she didn't want french toast. But the cheese pizza when she is vegan and doesn't eat cheese...can't defend her there haha.
You realize there are eggs in pancakes too right? Well, the recipes I have used do anyways.

I do realize that there are eggs in pancake batter. But there are pancake mixes that don't require you to add an egg, just water (whether or not the egg is already in the premade mix I have no idea, I hate pancakes. Don't eat them, don't make them). I'm guessing that the hospital food service isn't whipping together a from scratch pancake batter.
I agree, they probably don't. But I think even the powdered, just-add-water mixes probably have some kind of egg protein in there for binding purposes. Anyhoo, kind of off topic lol.
I once had a patient ring every fifteen minutes or so to have the door closed -- and the only reason it was open was because I had to open it to go into the room to answer the call bell.
Do you use any substances not prescribed by your doctor? No
Your drug screen is positive for marijuana and meth/amphetamines. "My roommate smokes pot all the time, so that's why it showed up. I don't know what meth even is, it must be something that is positive when you take these meds I'm on" (med list contained opiates)
