Tales From The Bedside

Alright. I told you I would write more about work, since I do go there and really it is hilarious most of the time. Most of the hilariousness comes from conversations with my coworkers (who can bring me to laughter tears), but sometimes it comes from the stuff patients say.
Today.
Patient, "can you numb my whoohoo?" while the patient is scratching her whoohoo.. why ever she calls it that. For real? Numb your whoohoo? Really. Umm NO.

Next.

Nurse, "How does it feel down there?" meaning the patients abdominal incision.
Patient, "Why don't you stick your hand down there and you tell me how it feels."
WHAT?
Seriously.
Nurse, "silently walking away now."

I can't believe you wouldnt scratch her whoohoo. I mean it must really have itched for her to work up the nerve to ask..... Geesh.

YES. WHoo.
TO be fair, she had a lady mullet that was frosted.

I had a patient today with tattoo on her butt cheek that says "JUICY." Nice. (and it was one GINORMOUS butt cheek) So here is my PSA for the day...DONT GET A DUMB TATTOO. YOU WILL BE LAUGHTD AT MY MEDICAL PERSONNELL WHILE YOU ARE UNDER ANESTHESIA!

Okay this is just making me nervous that whatever ridiculous thing I have done/said/worn has been the discussion among medical-types.

I will remember never to use the word "whoohoo" for starters...
