What I did in the hospital...

[lspencer534]

Hospitals, none to my surprise, have gotten even worse. I just spent a few days in one, and it's a damned miracle I'm still alive. Here are a few examples of their stupidity:

1. I brought my medicine from home so that I could stay on schedule. When the Nurse saw it:

N: You're not allowed to bring mediciene in here.

Me: Are you going to provide my medicine?

N: Yes.

Me: Are you going to charge me for it?

N: Yes.

Me: How much?

N: I don't know.

Me: I'm keeping my own medicine.

N: You can't do that.

Me: Wanna bet?

N: It'll be your fault if you don't get your medicine.

2. Smoking is prohibited in Hospitals. I don't have a problem with that, and I don't smoke. I do carry a lighter, though, in case aI need fire.

N: Do you have cigarettes or a lighter on you?

Me: I have a lighter, no cigarettes;

N: You'll have to give me the lighter.

Me: Why?

N: We use oxygen in here. We don't want you to set the place on fire.

Me: Has oxygen gotten more flammable recently?

N: What?

Me: Has there ever been a case of a patient catching fire in a Hospital because of someone else's lighter?

3. It's 4 a.m. Nurse comes in to give me medicine.

N: It's time for your insulin.

Me: I don't take insulin.

N: Sure you do. You're diabetic.

Me: No, I'm not.

N: You're refusing the insulin?

Me: Yep.

N: Then take your athritis medicine.

Me: I don't have arthritis.

N: Your steroids?

Me: I don't take those either.

N: I'll be back.

She didn't come back.

Folks, please, please, use your common sense when in a Hospital.

Glad to see you back Larry!

[simpleman68]

Holy hell Larry! :wow:
Glad you're alright and on the mend.

It's terrifying how damn incompetent some of these folks are.
Got plenty of nurses in the family and they are very conscientious and responsible. I've heard plenty of stories from them about hospital staff that are not. :issues:

Wasted click. Thought this was going to be about a threesome with two hot lesbian nurses.:toetap:

Sounds like the staff needs to be using theirs.


Glad you made back in one piece. :cert:

(You are still in one piece, right? They didn't remove anything that they weren't supposed to?)

#1 priority of going into the hospital - get out of the hospital.

How many days were you in the hospital?

[ApexOversteer]

I spent three days in ICU and three weeks in a room at our local hospital last year and then another 3 days a couple months ago... you have my sympathy brother, those places are like stupid-mistake factories...

You'll have to buy his upcoming book, "Call Me Laura," to find out.





Seriously, glad you are on the mend, Spence!

Mrs. DAB said i could chase the nurses, but it was catch and release only. that took all the fun out of it. plus, nurses are very fast when chased by a guy with a weak heart.

[lspencer534]

How many days were you in the hospital?

Only 4.

You must be still pumped up on hospital drugs for not addressing your first post on this subject with similar exuberation. :lol: Glad you're OK. :cert:

[Stevedore]

I'm glad you made it out OK. :cert:

I was in with pneumonia about 25 years ago; ended up having lung surgery. Decortication & a small piece of lung removed. Missed over 2 months of work.

I did have my concerns while there, though. I intercepted an IV drug with another patient's name on it. The nurse said it didn't matter, it was the same drug. :faint:

I did, however, quite enjoy the sponge baths from the nurses. :yesnod:

[Kerrmudgeon]

Sounds like a comedy routine Larry. :smash:

Any chance of a law suit?......better not burn your bridges, you may need them again.:ack:


...another example of why I'm glad to be a :Sweet90:

[Iron Chef]

Actually...I can sorta-kinda see their point about the lighter and the oxygen. I mean, were you planning on watching AXSTV and holding up your lighter during an old McCartney and Wings concert video? :rofl:

The other stuff? Just f'ing crazy.

Either way...you're a real gem Spence. :rofl:

Quit your bitchin, it could have been worse . .
