Queenie Tuesday

** this one could be dangerous, since I WORK in a hospital.... Oh, the stories I could tell, (if it didn't break patient confidentiality...)
Welcome to The Queen's Meme #12.
A Tuesday meme
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination.
No one's answers are quite like yours.

And please, stay out of the dungeon.
1. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in a hospital (besides your illness)? Not enough towels? No condiments? Can't get your favorite channels? Come on, you can tell me. **Or....maybe this answer doesn't involve you being the patient.** So, I can tell you this much. There is a man in my town, somewhere, who thinks I am a platinum blonde witch named Valerie. Either that or he is still in a Psych ward somewhere

2. If you had your choice of IV cocktails, what would you choose? Rum and Coke, probably. Or a nice, mellow iced tea...


3. Tell us your funniest hospital story. Damn Damn Damn! I can't!!! It breaks the HIPPAA laws if I do!
How about this? One night, I smeared KY jelly all over the Charge Nurse phone. Then called the CN from the supervisors phone, then laughed hysterically as my friend G was wiping KY out of his ear for hours....


4. Do you have any hospital phobias?Yeah, that I'll die in one.

5. Imagine you are in bed trying to get some sleep after a long night of interruptions by the nurse on duty who would NOT stop waking you up to see if you were asleep...It is 3am. You finally get to sleep. She comes in at 3:15 and wakes you up again. What happens next? I tell her I know where she lives. Because, I work nights, and she is more than likely my co worker, and I DO know where she lives, her family, and, I can call HER at noon. When she is sound asleep. Again, and again, and again, and again....
and for the record, I do my best to let my patients sleep. But since I am an ICU RN, they frequently do not, anyhow....


6. You are stuck in the elevator with an attractive person of the opposite sex. You notice there is no wedding band. Do you strike up a conversation? If so, what is the first thing you would say? Stuck? The elevator isn't moving?
I ask them if they have any water or a snack...


7. A very odd patient wanders into your room from the upstairs psychiatric ward. What do you do? Offer them my Haldol, and tell them the aliens are on THIS side of the hospital, encouraging him to wander into a room across the hallway....

This was hilarious! And I enjoyed all of your answers.
