We have a regular seizure faker who is an RN and expects us to believe that she is seizing.

That really sounds like a thread one of our allnurses posters did a while back. I wonder if it is just a co-incidence.

Oramar,

An ER friend of mine told me of the video. He says this is exactly how it goes in his ER. Funny and tiresome at the same time. He says he can see one coming a mile away.

I don't really intend this to go any further than a chuckle from the "knowing" folks who work in those specilaties ;).

ALL so true, only she is more articulate, better dressed, not cussing, threatening, or throwing things at the MD. Doesn't smell from lack of shower, or poor dental hygeine. I especially liked the allergy to employment and the entitlement to a tray and drink.

I like the part where she feels sick, so she needs Phenergan, Sierra Mist, and a meal tray.

LMAO! I don't work ER but we deal with these nuts on the floor, too.
