My favorite quotes this month

I have 2 favorite quotes this month from the MSICU floor. You will have to ask Dr. P to explain his quote.  The story is funny, but too long to write. Both quotes do have good explanations, but they sounded funny at the time. So here they are:

Charge Nurse L: "I will scratch yours and you can scratch mine."

Dr P: "Maybe it was the KY enema. Yeah, he used the whole tube. He told the nurse he knew how to use it."

Face lift

11/16/07- Dr. B.H. to Pt's room. Pt states that he was delivered by a Dr. H. Dr. H. tells the Pt that it was him and he had some surgery done to make him look younger. The Pt looks Dr. H. in the eyes and says "You should've paid for the more expensive surgery."

Gram Positive...Organisms??

I have been asked by Leah to put my organism story on this blog. If you know the story then just skim this entry , give me a nice courtesy laugh and move on, no offense will be taken; however, if you do not know my "most embarrassing moment" story then sit back, relax and enjoy!

It happened about a year and a half ago. I was in the middle of morning rounds with Dr. Sundar, Kevin and Phil. We were all discussing the patient's status and possible care plans for the day. During the discussion, Dr. Sundar asked if any of the cultures had come back positive. Being a newer nurse, I was always nervous during morning rounds, because I did not want to make a mistake in answering the doctor's questions. Anyway, I responded to Dr. Sundar's very easy question: "Yes, the cultures came back with Gram Positive Orgasms." As soon as those words left my mouth, I realized what I had said. I then tried to think of the correct word (Organisms) and for the life of me could not think of it to correct myself. I just stood there blushing and laughing as Kevin and Phil joked about me being newly married and now knowing what I had on my mind. We all proceeded to go into the patient's room, assess the patient, talk with the family about the patient's status and then go back to the nurses station. As we sat down at the nurses station, Dr. Sundar looked up at me and said with a straight face, "Becca, I had no idea that this place was so stimulating." At that moment, we all started to laugh. Lets just say, now I am very careful when someone asked if the cultures are back:)
