What's the wierdest thing you've ever found in the
bedside table?
Eli.
I guess if your knife and stun gun are weird, the hand gun and ammo are weird too huh?!
Had some family "issues"! I shudder to think how he was planning to resolve them when the family showed up!!!! Needless to say, security had a grand time confiscating that one!! Shortly after discharge, there were some "domestic disturbances" at his house -- had wife and 2 of 4 kids as patients shortly there after -- fellow is now residing in a state funded institutuion!!!!

One patient called me to say her bed was wet...and this was due to her voiding in a little emesis basin instead of a bedpan that was right next to her.And the emesis basin full of urine was sitting right next to her food tray!
One time I brought night meds for this old man and he asked me pass him a cup with his apple juice that was sitting on a table. He swallowed his pills, took few sips of his apple juice and said that it tasted "funny". Then he asked me to empty his urinal. His urinal hang on the siderail of his bed, but it was empty........You guessed it. He used one of the drinking cups as a urinal and placed it on his bedside table.:rotfl:
