Stories from Dana- a nurse we work with. She's a trip!

She looked at me tonight serious as a heart attack and said, "you know, I think labor and delivery is the double 1st cousin to psych... Funny enough in itself, but I asked, what's a "double 1st cousin" I mean, do I have some of these? She said, "you dont' know what that is? I guess people don't marry their brothers and sisters where you're from!" LOL
Then she told me a story of her 4 yr old grandson and 2 yr old granddaughter. The kids call the grandparents Jed and Jetta. They were out to dinner the other night and the 2 yr old was pouting with her finger in her mouth sucking on it. She told her granddaughter, "you better eat" but all the 2 yr old did was grunt and kept sucking her finger. Her grandson, all 4 yrs of him, spoke up and said, "looks like someone needs an ass whoopin Jetta."

Did you hear about the patient who...

these are all TRUE stories from Leigh, our new favorite traveling nurse buddy who's been a L&D nurse for 30 yrs!

1. A doc gave a pt a prescription for Monistat and told her to apply it locally. The patient was extremely concerned because she was going out of town!
2. Nurse asked the patient if she had a living will on admission. The pt said, "No, I have city water."
3. Nurse gave the pt an oxygen mask and told the pt "we need to give your baby some oxygen." the nurse turned to adjust the flow meter and when she turned back around the pt had the mask btwn her legs!
4. Pt came in with a bad sunburn and told the nurse she didn't want her baby to come out pale!
5. The sickest- a pt's husband told the doc and nurse he thought his wife had an orgasm. In explaining he said, "her eyes rolled back in her head, she lost control of her bowel's and she starting gyrating all over." Sir, we medical people call that a seizure!!!

Most importantly, you must watch this clip on youtube. Called husband's revenge. It's about a man who told his wife not to mess with his gun he was cleaning. It's great!

All is well with us. We are supposed to get new Euro-top mattresses today. Then we are leaving for WV to go white water rafting. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

What's Keely up to? Tune in here to get your Keely updates...

Keely just spent 4 nights in Vegas. I only heard back from her the first two days...I hope she made it back alive, with her liver and with some money. At last update, I heard she and our other friends didn't have anything to do with the escaped tiger who was roaming the streets Thursday night. Facebook has provided many comical responses related to the movie, The Hangover. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess she, Rooter, Andrea and Joanna had one or two of those while in Sin City. She was due back at work this morning at 7am so hopefully when I go in at 7pm tonight I will see her smiling face! She works a mere 3 1/2 days then fly's to The Keys- rough life....although she swears she is on lock down after that. I'll keep you posted :o)
