A lot of threads tonight are heavy duty. I need little fluff in my diet!

What are your top three worst costume to wear to work by specialty. You know the type that would send a patient running for the elevator!

For example:

1. Orthopedic Surgery Fellow: The Texas Chainsaw Murders, complete with chainsaw and blood spatter.

2. EMT carrying a spatula. (ok had to do it, all those scraping em up off the road stories!)

3. ER personel in gangbanger colors/clothing, fake gun would be nice!

ok these are lame, I'm sure you have better, and I know someone, somewhere was dressed up and ended up running a code...stories please!:D

Hmm, what to be for halloween...

- Grim Reaper.

- JCAHO Inspector (sure to strike fear into the hearts of all).

- C. diff spore (I'm thinking a costume with old IV antibiotic bags hung around your neck, brown gloves, and lots of "I'm-gonna-getcha" finger motions) :lol2:

You know, I just got a mass text from work, saying we were having a "Costume contest" at work, (Way to be last minute people, I take my Halloween seriously!). I'm not sure if I'll do it, or if it's a good idea. Not only is it a LTC, it's one where all of the Altz and hallucinating patients are mixed in with the functional ones.

All of my costumes are makeup heavy since I used to be a Fx artist for a haunted house- I had better skip this one.

Lol I used to work in a Psych Facility and one time I accidentally wore a chip and dale scrub that said "go nuts" on it. I didn't realize it until I got to work and everyone else pointed it out!

I was tempted to buy scrubs that said, "Out to lunch" on them.

I work in psych so I decided against it.

Back on topic, I guess we have to be careful what we wear in psych.

lol

Maybe I could dress in a Jesus costume since half the pts think they see him anyway.

Why don't you just wear brown scrubs with a stick in the side of your head and go as a stick in the mud.

Geeze... is there no joy in your world?

When I worked adolescent psych, the adult staff would always have bad nights when the Jesuses or Moseses would be arguing. We decided that putting them both in the quiet room and seeing who came out on top would be fun, but not very therapeutic :D

I have a set of authentic black and white striped jail scrubs that I've always been tempted to wear if I ever work on Haloween. I have the pink underwear from Sheriff Joe too. :lol2: BTW, no, I didn't earn them! :D
