Patients say the funniest things

Patient one: I was wondering if I can have some sleeping pills for my inzombia. 

Me: pardon? Your what?

Pt 1: inzombia 

Me: bahahhahaha - oh. 

Patient two, after sending her to do a swab in the washroom, calls me from the washroom: how do I put the swab into the tube?

Me: take the lid off?

Pt 2: how do I? Oh. Ok. Got it. 

That moment...

That moment during a code when you realise this is only the second one you've run but things seem to be going smoothly. Don't jinx it!

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Definitely wrote a note to the surgical team at Teriary Care Centre with the following:

Patient was transfused with 3 units PBR. 

Rather than the 3 units PRBC (packed red blood cells) he actually got. 

Buggy

I am now on my third virus in two weeks. I hope that at some point I grow an immune system. Otherwise I may never make it to my fifth year of practice when everything is supposed to come together. 

Dating naked

Pt who is up all night: so there's this show on at 2 am called Dating Naked and I watch it while I do laundry. Not for them obviously. 

Pro Tip

If the night nurses are willing to do a terminal clean on a room (i.e. scrub all surfaces including the floor) so you can admit a Form 1 from the office, you bet your booty you're buying them all ice cream and frozen yogurt. 

Ice cream and frozen yogurt is always a winner. 

Big day!

New wind sock.
