Would You Marry or Date a Patient or An Ex-Patient of Yours

Published

I have known of a colleague who fell in love with a patient and eventually had a child with him. My question is, would you marry one of your "fabulous" or "charming" patients? I also know a Unit Secretary who married an alcoholic patient whom she met on the Psychiatric Unit she works on.

Yeah, I mess up sign language for **** you" so I shouldn't be messing with entire gestures !! :)

What does your screen name mean anyway? I can't figure it out.

I was in the Hill Country- WAY different than north TX- LOL. It was great. I've tried to move back several times, but the health issues have kept me grounded. :(

Ah. I know how you feel. I miss WA. I was only there 10 months but never wanted to leave. I still think some day I will go back.

Yeah, even though I grew up in IL (GAG, sputter, choke, slobber), I felt like TX was home- my friends are there, and my heart is. I had THE best parts of my nursing career there- and nothing here comes close ... but at least I did get the 17 years there :)

Hey! That's where I am headed...No fooling at all. My daughter and family are outside of Seattle, I get there as much as possible. I LOVE it there. Since I am geographically as far away as you can get, it will take some planning on my part, but it's in the works.:D

Cannot wait, cannot wait, cannot wait...erik, where were you in WA?

Yes, but he posted that he wants to return to WA where he was for 10 months! Go back and read it, mama! Plus, who wants to actually BE in PA?;)
