We don't really live too close so if she's going to die tonight let us know so we don't have to make the trip back again." After this same patient passed, I called them to advise them and asked which funeral home they wanted me to contact. The daughter-in-law asked "Why?" I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying "Because she DIED!! Would you rather just bring a shovel??"

I know right ! How about the call when they say " um , do you think mom will be alive on Friday , bc her check comes in on Friday and ill need to cash it "

Well , I do not know if she will be alive sir but what I do know is you are a piece of crap son , have a wonderful day .

I know you're in the same boat , its sad isn't it

Ok...one more and then I'll stop because, trust me, I could fill up this thread with stories from by first year of nursing alone!

We had a 94 year old man come in, brought in by his family. Apparently, he had been driving and hit another parked car. He left the scene and went home. Because he sustained some bruises from the accident, his family brought him in. During his assessment, we realized that this man had dementia, nearly end stage. We brought this up to his family which they, of course, denied. Dad was just FINE! He still drives, and gets around ok, and he's fine! Yeah, he still drives...and hits other cars without even realizing it (thank god it wasn't a child!), and he doesn't speak...merely parrots back what he's asked (ex. What's your name? Reply: Your name. How do you feel Mr. X. Reply: Feel Mr. X.) We realized WHY his family was so anxious to have him released and so adamant that he was lucid, when they revealed that they just bought a new house and good ol' dad's social security check was paying their mortgage. *smh*

Are you SURE you don't work at my hospital ???? West Virginia ?????
It sounds like we are conversing about the same people here !!!!!!

Ok one more What the ?+&%

80 year old mamaw brought in via back of pickup truck .
She was hanging laundry on the line outside .
Family drinking on back porch watching her some many yards away.
They hear her yelling help and screaming and flailing her arms about in the air and they see something on her arm which from a distance looks like a cable .
They run to her and a copperhead has bitten her arm and the fangs are snagged up in her sweater . They do the most sensible thing ( sarcasm )

They pick mamaw up, toss her in the tail of the pickup and drive her 45 min to our e.r. where she is now in cardiac arrest . The er cuts the snake in half and pries the fangs off and deals with that ordeal .

Lets leave the snake attached 45 min drive with her in the truck back gate . She comes to our unit bc its a trauma .
She arrests two more times and doesn't make it .
The family doesn't want to make funeral arrangements however they are irritated bc our e.r. discarded the copperhead bc they can use the snakeskin for sale to vendors ?????

What the !@#$

I can add to the medical ones...

Mrs. Patient Wife: Is Dr. O in today?

Me: He is in surgery today, can I have him call you back?

Mrs. Patient Wife: I guess you can help me with a refill? My husband needs a refill on his asthma meds.

Me: We can refill the meds for you, if he has been in recently.

Mrs. Patient Wife: Oh, he comes in all time.

Me: Then it should not be an issue. Let me pull his chart for the respiratory therapist. Do you want to hold or do you want her to call you back? It may be a few minutes.

Mrs. Patient Wife: I'll hold.

I get the chart, hand it to the RT, tell her what is going on and she takes the call.

Ten minutes later, she comes back and asks what Mrs. Patient Wife called about. I told her (and thank God someone heard my end of the call). The RT told me the call ended this way after enough time to get the chart, talk to the RT, her take the call, confirm the info and get the pharmacy info...

RT: Ok, Mrs. Patient Wife, I will get this called in for him right now so that you can pick it up today.

Mrs. Patient Wife: Do y'all have samples I can come get?

RT: Let me check, can you hold a few minutes while I check the closet or do you want me to call you back?

Mrs. Patient Wife: I'll hold.

And upon returning...

RT: We have that, you can pick it up anytime before 5.

Mrs. Patient Wife: That won't be a problem. Is Dr. O in yet? My husband is not breathing and turning blue so I am getting worried about him. How long will Dr. O be in surgery?

TISFU with a little WTF added in.

Snippet from article.
"A Ku Klux Klan rally planned for Saturday, Oct. 5 has been canceled because of the government shutdown.

On Sept. 26, officials at Gettysburg National Military Park granted a special-use permit for a rally to a Maryland-based KKK group. According to NBC 10 Philadelphia, the event was canceled when park officials rescinded all permits for special events because of the shutdown, which began 12 a.m. ET on Tuesday."

I say,
It is so messed up that these people exist. Of course they have to hide
behind masks because their morals are so fed up.

So, awwwww...the tea party republicans and other racists in washington had to cancel their rally because they might be on the Hill instead; national park or not.

''Last week it emerged that a staggering one in 30 deaths in the Netherlands are now from euthanasia, after Dutch government allowed mobile death squads to kill sick and elderly people in their homes.''

Verhelst's story is sad but the statistics regarding euthanasia are horrific (to me).
