Disimpacting a badly constipated toddler and wondering if my Baby Ruth was still where I had left it. (This really happened.)
Eating the meat off a pork chop bone shortly before dealing with a finger amputation.
There is a reason why I'm not allowed to talk about my day in anything but the broadest, least descriptive terms!!
2nd week of school, hadn't left the classroom yet. Our class got picked to watch an autopsy. After watching the slicing of the bloody organs we all troted over to the cafeteria for some yummy liver and onions.
*shudder* Shades of Hannibal Lechter!! I can never think of fava beans anymore without thinking of him!!

Why is it.......
Nurses can be cleaning a patient up that just had a huge code brown and at the same time be thinking about what to have for lunch?
Anyone else have any quirks that you do in the course of your nursing day that would make normal? people sick?
