Patients I have met (a.k.a. ho-bags you may know)....

These are seriously people I have encountered. I really applaud whoever made these.

  1. WOW! lol....You get a gold star for dealing with dumb stuff like that. I think people like that would be better off in a ditch somewhere.

  3. Oh my god we have these people in Aus too!!!!

    Sometimes I wonder if my job is a nurse or maid???

    I would love to be able to nanny cam some of our pt's. But the whole confidentiality thing spoils that fun.

    I will never forget having a "discussion" with a pt who just had major bowel surgery about why he was not allowed to have beer every day. His arguement was that he was on a clear fluid diet and beer was clear.

    Another pt after being rushed into theatre from ER, then onto my ward complained he was not given a choice of room. Last time he had a room on the other side of the ward that had more light. He nearly dies and is worried about not having the best room in the hotel, um I mean hospital. I switched on every single light in the room incl the examination light.

    Oh so many more stories I would love to share!

  6. I was on call one night and the house supervisor calls me in for a nosebleed to be taken to the OR. I get to the ER to pick him up and he's still completely clothed - motorcycle boots and all. And I'm talking big clunky boots. This guy REFUSED to take his boots off. I'm not the one to argue about something that petty, so I wheel him into the OR with his boots on. We did manage to get him into a hospital gown, but this guy was HILARIOUS.. hospital gown and motorcycle boots wreaking of smoke. Oh my gosh - priceless. Some patients..
