tricks played on new JR doctors!

[scaryclairy]

While working as a student on a ward the other nurses would always play some kind of trick on any new Dr starting on the ward. One great trick i witnessed was for a nurse to get a banana roll it in coco powder and put it in a new clean disposible bed pan then go up to the Dr and ask him what he thinks about this strange BM while he is looking the nurse dips her finger into the banana and then puts it in her mouth saying "yep definatley something wrong" , the poor Dr that i saw ran into the nearest toilet to vomit!

Doctors are the worst pranksters! I now recall a time when one of our most well liked interns said that his grandmother would be direct admitted onto our unit. Ohh did he talk up his grandmother, she was the matriarch of their family, she paid for his md education, etc..we liked him so much that we were sort of..well anxious and excited to meet this lady. We got into the room, and there she was, long white hair, coral lip stick, pearls and gaudy earrings, old lady purse..the whole enchilada...

Then came the laughter from "her", it was the intern laying in the bed! We were all in a fit of uncontrollable laughter, and he was just flat out crying and wheezing. That was good stuff!

One of our new docs pranked the whole hospital. It was April's fools day and he got onto the hospital wide

intercom and called a code blonde to 2C. We don't have a 2C or code blonde, it was the funniest thing to see all these people checking thier ID bages trying to figure out what a code blonde was and where 2C was. On my floor everyone got a big laugh out of it.

On quiet days in L&D, the nurses used to cover the white board with 6 or 7 "train-wrecks". A gravida 13, a multiple pregnancy with pre-eclampsia, a 13-year-old, and a bunch of others--I can't think right now of all the things they could think up. This was especially effective when it was sometime during the new resident's first couple of weeks on the service.
