What is the funniest thing that you have seen while working?

Published

I was working at a local hospital when I went into this elderly ladies room. I had notice she had ate all of her breakfast. I ask her how did she enjoy her meal she told me she did not eat not one single bite. So ask " well okay how ate your food?" she responded a big black bird well I just laughed and told her she better tell that bird to share with her . Well later on that afternoon I came in room right when she was eating her lunch and low and behold this big black bird hopped in thru the window and started eating this ladies lunch. I could not get over it !I would have never in million years taught there was bird really eating her food. Well we all laughed and made sure all of the windows were shut on that floor......:lol2:

I was working in ICU yesterday and a pt had to go out for a test that he had to be sedated for. The pt got back on the unit and I was going in to check on him and he was still coming out of it. I noticed that his nc was on upside down so I told him. He replied to me with "It tastes better that way". His wife and I chuckled and then I asked him what it tasted like and he replied "Chicken". Another chuckle and a comment to his wife about how everything tastes like chicken. Then I put the nc back on him the right way and, unprovoked he said "It tastes more like tuna the other way."

As I was walking out the door, I told him to enjoy his tuna and he told me that he was.

People say the darndest things under sedation!!!!!! :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

We had a lady on the psych unit who looked sort of like Bob Marley...dreadlocks, Jamaican-colored clothes, etc...she also wore very dark glasses and she was VERY paranoid...she had been there for about a week and was starting to get a little better and would come and talk with us, but we still couldn't get her to take those glasses off...One night, about 2 a.m., she was up, and our unit secretary was talking to her and she was responding in a friendly way...then the secretary said 'Come on, let's see what your pretty eyes look like...' You'd have sworn she'd called that patient something rude! Gone was the friendly attitude...she started shrieking 'Do I ask YOU to take off your glasses?! Do I?' It went ON and on...and every night for weeks when that patient walked by the desk she'd say to that secretary 'Don't say NOTHIN' 'bout my glasses!' LOL She did eventually take the glasses off...she was quite a character...we could hardly understand a word she said but we were able to decipher her that night!

had a little old lady who kept pulling out her foley. so the doc ordered a foley with a 30cc balloon . . . i entered the room to see her sitting on the edge of her bed, perfect posture, licking that 30cc balloon like a popsicle!

then there was the little old man who pooped on his dinner tray, and then stuck a carrot, two olives and a celery stick into the poop to make a smiley face. we photographed that one for posterity, and it's probably still on the bulletion board on that unit!

oh, i'm going to puke. you reminded me why i work with babies.
