If it's a _veterinary_ ER, I'll take *all* the face licks. 🐶🐱🥰
Amen! That means they are doing ok 👍
We got poop and esp pee,and blood often on us working as vet techs. I used to have to make "poop floats" in house vs sending out for testing. Smoshy smoshy poopy in the medicine vial + liquid.
Also so often dog parents would just leave poop in bags around outside for some reason. Just give it to me so I don't find it days later on a pot planter.
I always wanted to be a vet. My circumstances in life prevented me from going into higher learning. applied to be an assistant many times to clinics in NY and PA but I never got the job. One guy said you don't want this dirty job "referring to clean ups? I always got the feeling the wanted a boy?
I raised every dog my family had. I started feeding the dog and cat way before I was old enough to go to school! Yes I cleaned up the poop. I ended up being a commercial artist and am now retired. Ive had 8 dogs and 3 cats in my life time.
Honestly you don't. Thier mouths go to disgusting places.
@odinfromcentr2 - Nope. I don't want a tongue that has been licking their butt and nutz and fur on my face. Contrary to popular belief, a dog's saliva is NOT cleaner than a human's.
@@odinfromcentr2 I would too!! My little boys have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, & I miss my licks!
If you begin a pelvic exam and the patient says "wrong hole", change your gloves before you try again. You do not want to drag poop bacteria into the vagina, and the patient would want that even less.
How does a medical professional mix up an anus and a vagina?
AND CHANGE THE CATHETER, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Steve said in the video they just remove it and try again, which tbf in an emergency situation, it is what it is. But in a regular situation, GET A NEW ONE PLEASEEEE
@@serahloeffelroberts9901 maybe he's just a creeper and likes it 😮😂😂 ahem... sorry. 😢😂😂
Removal of the bum towel from the guy that had diarrhea, there's a saying that goes something like : Don't take the fence down until you know why it was put up.
You've just added a new saying to my repertoire. This one's going to get some good use.
That's great, and I'm gonna remember that and use it! Thanks!
Where's that come from
@@aaronjames3228 Chesterton's fence principle.
Almost the same as "if you find a farm gate closed, never leave it open" 😆
RN here, but *I* was the one bleeding when the doc went to remove the dressing off of a varicose bleed on my leg that I knew was still SPURTING all over and I told him it still was, he said.. nah.. pressure has been on for hours... I grabbed a blue chuck, pulled it up to protect the wall, as the blood sprayed, and he slapped the dressing back down with his eyes kinda big and said, but, I've been wrong before! as I gave him a rather jaundiced look. Yeah?.
Girl... yeah. When we in healthcare wind up as patients, it's really nice for our brethren to actually listen to us. I mean, laypeople are hit or miss as far as knowing wtf is going on in their own bodies, but we're expected to have at least some clue, right?
Still lmao about the time the ER staff freaked out, thinking I was having a stroke. I kept telling them I wasn't; they finally believed me after 20-30min of assessment. Turned out to be a massive electrolyte imbalance causing diminished PNS sensory function, presenting as "tingling and numbness". Motor activity was fine. Not stroke.
That catheter is the most traumatic in my opinion. I'd be screaming because of the risk of multiple flavors of STD's if any juice got in my eyes or mouth.
No joke. I'm surprised he was so chill about the blood in the face. HIV/AIDS and other bloodborne diseases are real. As a student, I once had a preceptor literally wouldn't let me near the patient because dude 1) was a frequent flyer known to have HIV, and 2) was actively bleeding. (That preceptor was awesome. I learned a lot on that shift!)
Oh my God the way you worded that...
"flavors of std's..."
In fact this is the reason you would not be screaming, just silently dying inside while begging for help through telepathy.
I’d rather have that doctor saying harsh truths than someone too afraid to tell someone that they’re dying. My mom just died of cancer and they REFUSED to tell us how serious things really were. They kept saying there were treatment options but neglected to tell us there was 5% survival rate of the surgery alone. They kept saying “don’t google, things will be fine”. I wish they had told us the truth so we could’ve spent more quality time with her. I feel like they gave us false hope and stole time. I would’ve done so many things differently if I realised how dire it really was.
I am a nurse, including some years in Hospice, & have seen the opposite as well. The family saying "Don't tell (Mama/Daddy) that it's cancer! We don't want them to worry!" 🙄 I believe a person has a right to know, & as in Y'all's case the family as well, but of course I had to accept their instruction although I made it clear that I didn't agree & urged them to be truthful!! Thing is, later, my own Mama was diagnosed w/ metastatic cancer in June, & she went so fast there wasn't time to tell her! She died in Aug, 2 months from diagnosis! By the time of diagnosis, she had gone disoriented (brain metastasis) & then comatose. That was 17 y/ago & I still feel bad for not telling her when she could understand me!! Y'all, as you said, deserved to know how short time was so you could've made the best use of it. I'm so sorry that happened to you! It shouldn't have!
So very sorry for your loss
Sending some gentle hugs your way 🫂💜🫂
I know it cant bring her back but im pretty sure you have a case
The doctor did that with my mom after a huge stroke. Thankfully my mom had her end of life wishes known and I was able to get the doctor to give me an idea of how much longer Mom might last by asking the right questions and putting the lady on the spot. She said no longer than six months. Mom lasted about two and a half more weeks once I got her home. I didn’t need an exact date. I just needed a rough idea which I finally forced out of her. Still burns me up though that they kept giving her meds Mom didn’t want when she wanted no delay in her passing under these circumstances.
My mom is at the hospital w thyroid cancer and now u done scared me bro... i will do unspeakable things if my mom dies yall don't understand... if its someone's fault uh - nope
Let my guard down in the emergency department once, and got hit in the head with a piece of bread. All I got from my colleagues was: "Not the worst thing that's been thrown around here." 🙃
you got off easy!
Lol what
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so true you got off easy
I was helping serve breakfast one morning. We had a prisoner as a patient, & his bedside deputy had unlocked the cuffs so that he could eat. The deputy was called to the nurses station phone. I heard a clattering racket, like the ceiling had caved in! I stepped back to look in his room & all I saw were 8 fingertips on the outside window ledge! We were on the 3rd floor! There was an awning above the first floor walkway, so he dropped onto it &, losing his hospital gown, ran around the 'U' shaped building! Security & cops were already waiting for him! Later that day, I heard that a lady on Surgical floor, just below us, called her Nurse & asked what she'd been given for pre-op, (HER words) "b/c I just thought I saw a nekkid black man run by my (second floor) window!" Her nurse told her that she DID indeed see a "nekkid black man run by" her window! He was inpatient b/c he was caught w/ a big rock of Crack & swallowed it so the deputy would have no evidence! Not the brightest crayon in the box!
Second story. Combative patient, pulled out his Foley. Somehow, while we were manually restrainging him, he got ahold of the catheter & swung it! I got drops of pee thrown in my eyes! While wearing contact lenses! Pee & poop, even blood aren't so bad. My thing is vomit! I can just HEAR someone retch & my gag reflex wants to answer! If I'm in their presence, I WILL!To a lesser degree, sputum, too.
Oh my goodness that poor pre op patient 😂
@@unapologeticallyamy9031
I know!!
Ohhhh... my... gosh... that Foley story made MY eyes water... I can't believe what the pt must have felt pulling it out. Let alone the OP getting an eyeful.
@@hectorpascal
I don't think he felt a thing! I don't remember WHY he was so combative, but it was almost like a psychotic break, or a bad trip!! He may have hurt later on, but he felt no pain then! Me, I just went & flooded my eye for a while! Nurses don't have superhero powers, but we have to ACT like we do! 😉
@@RNMom424 So glad you came out of that experience OK healthwise - both physically and mentally. I am always in awe at what you guys sometimes have to go thru, just to do your job.
I get embarrassed after each time they have to put a catheter in me. I'm a small woman but I get so frazzled and scared that I have to have 6 nurses in the room to hold me down. Trauma does really live in the body.
[hugs]
God bless you, sister.
💜
Much love and respect to you. ❤
I'm a caregiver. I have had 2 previous clients. My first client was the hardest I ever had. And even the caregivers told me "you stepped into this new job with no experience and one of the hardest clients ever. If you can handle her, you can handle anyone."
She was fully disabled. Had MS. Was unable to move and needed transfers. She was always in pain, even on medicine. So mornings were her worst times and she would yell and cry. I felt so bad for her. (Meyers brigg test personality: Im a ENFJ-T. So i feel others' emotions more strongly than most people.) Took me a while to not let it get to me. We got along well. She was a sweet woman, and I loved working for her. Over time, I became her favorite caregiver. She also always made sure I was with her when she had her catheter tube changed. I always felt for her because I couldn't imagine how that must have felt having a tube stuck in there and inflated. Plus, the pain that sometimes happens when you shift wrong or pee doesn't want to come down properly through a tube must seriously hurt. I had to change her catheter bag a couple of times. That was easy enough. I didn't mind, actually. Pee is pee. I handled worse than that.
I now caregive for my bff. Aka my adopted mom and adopted big sis. Have to admit, as much as it's hard at times and stressful, I love my job. ❤

A famous saying probably is "The Difference between Medicine and Poison is how much you take"
I say that there is a fine line between too much medication and not nearly enough, especially in psych meds.
I was a hospice nurse and had a dying woman’s husband chase me around her bed throughout the visit trying to “grab me” ! The man followed me to the car and when I thought I was in the clear he grabbed me by the shoulders and kissed me on MY LIPS. Creepy old farmer
You won in my opinion. People can’t control their body fluids … but that man were in complete control of his disgusting behavior.
He probably caused her to die poor woman he probably dreamed of cheating on his poor wife
Gross 🤮
Dementia?
Did you sue his sorry a*s?
I have one from the patient side.
I'm a full-time wheelchair user, and thus have, you know, my own wheelchair. I was in hospital once, ICR for what, now, but they're discharging me and ask me if I'd like a wheelchair out to the car. With my chair sitting right there not five feet away.
Did you ask if it was a free fully customisable upgrade of your current model?
@@phoenixfire8978 Oh, I should have!
Weird knowledge: The French have a word for a slap in the face with a D. It's bifle. And the verb is bifler.
That is indeed some weird knowledge.
Lol 😂 love this. Now thinking of Emily in Paris.
"Bifle" is a compound word from French vulgar slang "bite"= penis and "gifle" = a slap. Now you know 😆!
@@hectorpascal Native English speaker here, educated in Spanish and some Latin, but not French. Read the first part as "bite" (as in cutting with teeth) rather than "bee-tay". I really hope I'm wrong. That would be unfortunate to have the English word for oral severance to be the same as the French word for the male member.
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumberLOL! It's pronounced somewhere between English "beet" and "bit". But the latter would be as bad! 😆
The fentanyl patch incident brought back memories.
I was a paramedic in my first life. It was the 1990s and we checked all of our medications in our drug box at the beginning of our shift every day. Nitroglycerin ointment came in tubes like toothpaste back then. I was doing my rig check and I was getting really light-headed. I did not notice the white powdery stuff on the outside of all of the drugs I was picking up to examine the expiration dates. The nitroglycerin ointment was the last drug on the list. Evidently the nitroglycerin ointment tube had exploded all over the contents of the drug box. From that point on I always wore gloves while checking my drugs.
Pretty sure there have been small children who have died from putting a used fentanyl patch in their mouth. Protocol was to supply a sharps disposal container when dispensing for outpatients.
I had a bad case cellulitis on my lower legs with very large blisters. In the hospital, the head resident lead his residents into my room. The guy started pressing on one of the blisters while he was asking the other residents questions. He pressed so hard that the blister burst and the liquid went straight into his eye. We froze. He asked me if I had hiv or hepatitis. 'no' I said. I told him, "you need to get an eye wash kit asap". He refused, gathered his dignity, and left the room.
What a dummy.
Must've been a surgery resident. They're like that.
First, never push something that looks like there might be fluid in it unless you're ready to collect said fluid in gauze or a sponge or something. Second, stuff like this is why I quickly learned to NOT wear contact lenses at work! I've lost count of how many times my glasses have saved my eyes while at work!
Cellulitis is so painful. I don't think most people realize that you have to take antibiotics, or it will not clear up.
I remember when I was a young (single digits) kid and my mom had us at the clinic for checkups. We overheard a nurse in the hall outside the room telling someone, "Oh, I can handle puke, blood, shit, pus, whatever, but not snot! Snot makes me gag." Needless to say there was a lot of giggling being unsuccessfully stifled from there on.
It's true. I can handle all of those things, but not snot. Please do NOT ask me to suction a trach patient!
That sounds like my old home health aid instructor.
I could handle anything but hearing someone puke made me gag along with them. One of my nursing instructors told us “if you can walk down the hall with a bedpan full of crap in one hand and eating a Snickers from the other hand, you are a true nurse” that was in 1991 and I still giggle when I think of it 😂
Yup, I made the right decision - I worked in the boring lab. Pretty much zero patient contact.
My daughter is currently at university studying as a student nurse. She just got the details for her first placement. I think she will end up with some story’s to tell over the months to come on the acute coronary ward. She took a year out before university and worked as a care assistant for a year and she has been a young carer to me so I think she will cope well and not have anything too much worse than she has already experienced but I’m sure I will be surprised in one way or another.
So super proud of my girl.
Congrats to her, and best of luck! You're right to be proud - healthcare is a very demanding field, which not everyone can handle. Sorry that you needed care, but silver lining in that it gave her life experience.
You sound like a reasonable person, which means she will DEFINITELY have some new experiences... and stories to tell.
If I may offer one bit of advice? Set up a rapport with a therapist/counselor/support person before beginning her career.
@ Thank you very much. I have always had one hard fast line I wouldn’t cross when it comes to my kids (I have the daughter from my comment and a 16 year old still at home) is that I won’t allow them to do personal care. I have professional carers who come in every morning now to do personal care etc, my child at home has all the cooking on her shoulders now, we do get hello fresh three meals a week but Luna also got to come up with and get ingredients for the other meals and clean up afterwards. I have a cleaner once a week so it’s not all on her.
For her gap year before she went off to university she worked in a nursing home full time, 12 hour shifts, she has seen a lot one way or another!
Thanks for the advice, I will pass it on to her. It’s a good idea. Th e NHS is also quite good with this now
Diharrea on the boots seems the.... Least traumatic.
Not to me, I'm super squeamish about body fluids. Uroseptic foley is my #1 godno but the diarrhea is #2. Dickslap would just make me laugh.
Rehab staff here: Licked would be the correct answer. Trust me when I say brown can be very difficult to get out/off of shoes. I know 😉
@@Minyassa Honestly, it depends on the smell. Diarrhea tends to smell, but at least you have the barrier between the fluid and your body.
But were they lace up shoes? Did it soak in? Were the socks wet? It could be pretty bad….. 😮
@@a.m.n9552 Augh! *shudder*
Fun fact: when working in eye outpatients in the UK as an imaging tech, I would frequently see patients who were also prisoners. They were always handcuffed to one of the two (sometimes three) officers who accompanied them. Some even had anklecuffs complete with a chain around the waist. The officers would be with them the entire time, and they would be sat in a side room, away from general poulation for their own and the other patients safety & comfort.
I am a retired nurse after 40+ years of nursing. In today's healthcare scene, some one (in the patient's sphere)must be captain of the ship. Question everything, ask for all options and expected outcomes, be wary in May, June and July. That is when nursing students and med students go on to the next level of practice. That is when interns and residents go on to their next level of practice. They can't know everything, ever. As a caretaker of my father and mother at times, I have missed things that might have changed the outcome of a medical intervention. Inquire as to what is the worst that could happen and what is the best that could happen. Then, what intervention is needed for the best outcome.
Where I live the new academic year starts on July 1st. My guard is UP then.
Yes, people definitely need to know who's the captain in all situations.
Once during a fire in woods on 3 sides of our building I was giving orders to everyone. One of the CNA's said to me
"Ms. Director is the DON, so why are you telling her what to do?"
I replied, "She didn't question it, so WHY are you?"
After the fires were controlled, I showed her in the Policy and Procedure Manual
"In disasters from 7a-3p the DON is in charge.
From 3-11 and 11-7 the appropriate supervisors are in charge."
At 4pm I was in charge of everyone except the actual firemen outside.
WE knew our roles! lol
Helping during a NGTube insertion on a fighting dementia patient, holding one arm, I was hit full face with projectile vomiting. The whole team went “oooh damn!”
I worked at a vein clinic that mostly worked on fistula’s. (Dialysis patients type of access)
One patient was very sensitive to heparin and we talked to the doctor about not giving them heparin but the doctor wanted it anyway. The patient wouldn’t stop bleeding and after 15 minutes in the procedure room the doctor asked me to take the patient into another room and keep holding the area until the patient stopped bleeding.
45 minutes later the patient is still bleeding and I get someone to get the doctor back. Doctor decides to put a stitch in and as the doctor goes to move the gauze to do the stitch the entire room gets covered in blood. I am covered, the patient is, the patient’s family member is, but the doctor had an invisible shield around them because they were the only thing in the room untouched. It was the doctors fault how is if fare he gets out unscathed.
Worst rookie mistake I made was fairly early on as a new grad, which there have been plenty of mistakes and incidents over the years that have been blocked out. I was going into a patient room to check over a few things and my proctor asked me to sort and organize all the cords and tubes around the patient. Well, at orientation too a few days earlier, we had been shown the ways to activate the code blue system if there was a severe emergency by pulling the call light cord out of the wall, keep this in mind. So I go in, and start working on the cords and talking with the patient and this patient had more than just the IV and call light, he also had compression devices on both his legs, chest tubes on both sides of his chest, catheter, a special mattress with a pump, so it was a definite mess of cords. Once I start following said cords to try to figure out what was what, I turn, and my ankle catches on something, but before I can see what it is, I trip, fall face first on the floor, and in my daze kind of go mentally blank for a moment as I just very briefly have the wind knocked out of me and nearly hit my head. All of a sudden I hear a code starting to go off and hear people running. As I start to get up to brush myself off, I realized the code is in MY room that I'm in and everyone has run in to see me trying to get vertical again. One of the nurses asks the patient if he's okay and he says, laughing, "I'm fine but you might want to check on her." I wasn't asked to sort cords again after that on that unit, nor was the initial request new grad hazing as there were a LOT of cords and tubes in that room that needed the sorting!
I salute sll heath care workers.
How about poop on your head?? I was working as a nurses' aide at a very small private hospital in Brooklyn. I was assisting this lovely middle aged lady out of the shower. She was post hemorrhoid removal surgery, so she was still pretty numb by her bottom. When she dropped her towel, I bent down to pick it up- but I was directly in the line of fire. She pooped all over my head and my waist length hair. She was so mortified because 'I didn't feell it come out'. The older nurses thought it was so funny as I tried to wash out as much as I could in the shower and then rather than get on a public bus, did the walk of shame all 12 blocks to get home, praying I wouldn't run into anyone I knew. Thank God I didn't. So traumatized I quit that MA job, but did go on to get my RN & a 50 yr. career. Still miss it!
Made me laugh out loud
We had a call "CPR in progress. About 10 minutes in dispatch called and said, "Patient is refusing CPR." Trying really hard not to laugh Dispatch told to have bystanders stop CPR. Arrived on scene to find a male laying in the driveway unconscious. Upon further exam found patient to be dead, rigor mortis had set in and dependant lividity as well.
If the patient had been dead long enough for rigor mortis to set in (at least 1-2 hours), why did dipatch say that patient was refusing CPR? I am confused.
Perhaps the arms got stuck in rigor on the chest and they tried to force them away, and felt resistance from the rigor.
Given the context of these stories, I’m gonna go with the dcik to the face for a number of reasons.
(For total clarity, I’m 100% heterosexual)
1) the dcik was probably dry and the other options were not.
2) this was not intentional in part of the owner Ava therefore way less creepy.
3) zero intention with the mishap so no need to worry on future encounters with them
4) 100% something you can laugh about at end of shift.
You don’t work in this kind of industry if you’re not a dark humour fan.
Gag-can't-handle-it-gross for me is when a patient with a trach jets a lugie toward your (ohgodno!) face.
_Good_ grief.
Dear health care workers: Thank you all for your service.
Dude the one about not screaming about the meds!!! I went to a pharmacy to pick up refills in a small town I was on a seasonal rotation to. I had been on these meds for YEARS, so said I really don't have any questions and am familiar with the meds. The pharmaciat proceeded to have a very not discrete conversation, loudly reading out EVERY medication and my conditions and just dragged it out for like 20 minutes. In a SMALL town. Like dude shut up!!!!!!
Speaking of pain patches, I have a humorous story:
I was caring for my terminal aunt (pancreatic cancer) many years ago in europe. I had flown over from the US to do so. One day, she needed her morphine patch replaced. I told her to wait a moment so I could glove up, and I would place and new one and remove the old one.
I turned my back to get a pair of gloves and heard her swearing and fidgiting. Then heard her say, "why won't this fucker just come off?!"
I started to say, "Just one more sec and I will get it for you," as I was putting on the second glove. But halfway through I felt something slap against my back between my shoulder blades in that spot that impossible to reach by yourself.
She hadn't been attempting to remove the old patch like I assumed by her statement. She had been trying to get the backing off the new patch to place it herself. She had even more trouble removing the patch from between my shoulder blades. And, no, I still have absolutely no clue how she got it stuck to me so well without actually touching me herself, but I do have issues with adhesive so it either dosent stick at all or way too well, with no in-between. (It was mid summer and I was in a tanktop, so my upper back was exposed.) I had to call a friend of hers for help... who didn't show up for 2.5 hours. All the neighbours were gone at work as it was about 10am. I'm not sure what the hell kind of morphine that was, but it was stronger than anything I have had before or since here in the US! I definitely felt no pain that day!
Moral of the story: sometimes gloves just aren't enough.
You are lucky you didn’t die. She probably was on a dose that would be lethal for an opiate naive person. It’s hard to believe you made it for 2.5 hrs without serious harm. 😮
Did a tap water enema to a patient once. Poop water squirted into my forearm.
I’m laughing here when you were talking about the Fentanyl patches. I had to put them on my mum’s back all the time and take them off. Tip to keep them on: spay a puff of a red inhaler on the skin and the patch sticks better.
Ugh… don’t make me suction a trachea.. I will work every holiday for you if you do the trachea
12:20 important thing to notice, for people who don’t know how spine procedures work, you’re put under anesthesia while on your back, and then you’re proned (turned onto your belly, so that your back is up) while under anesthesia. Anesthesia gases or spinal anesthesia, depending on the extent of the spinal procedure, both cause vasodilation, which can cause men to involuntarily become semierect, because the blood vessels down there dilated. Which is why you should avoid getting slapped in the face by it, because your colleagues will never stop making fun of you.
Ahem on my face...I've done it before. Want to clarify that?
When I was in the hospital at the beginning of this year, my room mate was an old lady, recovering from a brain infarct and 4 weeks of being in a coma. In another hospital, the doctors told her family, that she would never wake up again and die within weeks. But she kept on fighting, and so did her daughter, to get her mom treated in the clinic I was in. They do outstanding work there, and they managed to wake her up (although she still slept a lot, and when I was released, she still had a long way ahead of her). Anyway: To revive her circulation and muscles, she was regularly massaged with "Active gel", which has a *very* potent medicinal smell. And guess what? She always woke up during these massages!
I'd swear, it *must have been* that smell, that brought her back from whereever she was sometimes. 🤔
Therefore, maybe next time people should try "Active gel" instead of pooping their pants to help with rescucitation? It would surely be much more agreeable for everyone involved!
I JUST LOVE YOU,STEVIO !! YOU ARE SOMEONE I WOULD BE PROUD TO HAVE FOR A GRAND SON. YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR AND DIRTY LANGUAGE IS IDENTICAL TO MINE. LOVE AND PEACE ,KID !!!!
11:00 - Never leave an arrested patient alone in the room... ESPECIALLY if they are handcuffed to the bed.
If they're in a hospital for legitimate reasons, and they're enough of a danger to themselves/others to warrant restraints, things can go wrong very quickly.
Learned that very early in EMT school.
I got one for ya, it even shocked the nurse I had, I had lung surgery cause of cancer and they put a catheter in me to pee, I couldn’t fart the whole time I had it (two days) The moment the nurse took it out I was able to fart. I told the nurse and he was baffled
Night shift RN LTC, one night was working with two new CNA'S, one on the job a month, the other 3 days. Had to give suppository at 5am to combative XXXL resident. New CNA was assisting by pushing up on the glut. I didn't see how low and close she was, slid the supp in when I heard the insestine rumble I stepped back quickly. The new CNA wasn't so lucky. She ended up with lube and a small amount of stool splattered on her face. The resident started laughing, the CNA though shocked chuckled too. They became great friends.
I love the way he closes the laptop like he’s repulsed just to touch it 😂.
Tell us about the time you took one to the face. 😂
3:20. I learned the answer to most of these questions by reading Cells at Work! 🤣
Handcuffs have very simple locks and they are all identical
"I've done it before"💀
Why aren't you ever coming to DENVER, COLORADO?!?!? There's soooooo many that would LOVE to see you.
Here here I’m in Arvada and would love to see him.
Fentanyl patch removal not a big deal. It takes 24 hours for that form of Fentanyl to fully reach therapeutic levels. Was your hands after. You wouldn’t feel effects unless you don’t wash your hands for multiple hours. If that’s happening, you should be fired for spreading germs.
She got that Barry wood... to the face😂😂😂😂
I was a patient in hospital earlier this week, and started out in the ED. While I was there, the woman in the bed to my left shat all through her bed. She was an older lady with dementia so no biggie, I've worked in aged care before and (sh)it happens. When I was admitted overnight to another ward (in a "short stay" recliner because the hospital was at capacity bed-wise) the man to my right promptly shat himself as well. Turns out that whenever he felt he wasn't getting enough attention from the nursing staff, he'd deliberately shit himself to force them to take care of him 🙄 I couldn't help but wonder if he was the reason there were no available beds, maybe they were all covered in shit 🤔😂💩
3:20 - "C's get degrees", said some of my classmates. I despise that mentality, especially in a field like healthcare where lives literally depend on your knowledge.
If it bothers you, maybe it should just be pass or fail, no grades 🤷♂️
@@Nightraven26 I can see the benefit of that approach in some cases, such as primary/grade school, physical education, or classes in which the grade is based more on the opinion of the instructor than on quantifiable measures - drama, choir, and band come to mind.
In the sciences, there are very clear right and wrong answers, supported by years (even decades) of studies and empirical research. If someone is able to accurately recall and utilize that data, they should receive a high grade. If they can only recall/utilize SOME, they should get a lower grade.
Now take that nurse who got a lower grade. S/he only recalls some of the data, and makes a big mistake in treating you, or someone you care about. Maybe mixed up lorazepram and lisinopril?
@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber do you actually work as a doctor? Because I do, and I have some counterarguments: 1. there is a huge amount of things in medicine that aren't completely black and white. We use evidence-based medicine, so in order to be able to state certain facts, you have to have a large amount of good quality prospective studies and analyze them in metaanalyses and literature reviews. Even then you will often have 2 doctors who would treat a patient differently, with different priorities. 2. The time it takes of all of the knowledge of medicine to double used to be years and months a couple of decades ago, now it's a few days or shorter, the complete knowledge of medicine is growing exponentially and it's not hard, it's impossible for a single person to know everything there is to know about medicine. 3. med school exams aren't always asking things you will have to know in clinical practice. Next time you talk to a doctor, ask them if they know the steps of the Krebs cycle or to draw all the steps of pentose phosphate pathway, or if they know what Gerstmann Straussler Scheinker syndrome is, what nerve innervates the latissimus dorsi or what sugammadex is used for and what its recommended dose is, I guarantee a vast majority of doctors won't know, even if they maybe were straight A students in med school
😂@:45 my family would've said,"Knock it off! You're messing the place up!"
🤣🤣🤣 That code brown ER tech is a legend!! 😂😂😂 He does not need to worry about his dignity!
Don't know if anyone will read this or not but when I was a medical laboratory assistant, I once watched another MLA drop a patient's CSF on the floor... that wasn't fun having to tell the patient (and the surgeon) they needed another spinal tap!
so the NPO also being in vet medicine is really stressful for new rodent owners. i have guinea pigs and have had to send them into surgery a few times. the unknowing front desk agents always tell pet owners "don't feed them after midnight" but it is absolutely dangerous to tell a rodent owner this because their digestive systems do not stop working things that go in come out very quick and it can cause a condition called Stasis if their digestive system is empty for even a few hrs. I have had the talk with a few front desk workers about it and had the exotic vet confirm for them that this is the case. it happened the worst when our vet moved to a new office that hadn't had a small pet vet before so we had to explain it to them in the first few weeks of her starting there.
FYI too, for Steveioe and others who are confused, "NPO stands for the Latin phrase “nil per os,” which translates to “nothing through the mouth” in English, not "nothing per oral".
@@jalyc i feel like you are just nit picking on this one because the 2 phrases are interchangeable in meaning. Oral is by mouth.
oral

@@MarrisaPlays OK. Seems like you're one of the 'others who are confused', but thanks for adding to the educational aspect of my comment.
it’s always been silly to me how guys don’t know females have three holes instead of just two😭 especially if they’re GROWN
Fyi. I know this from second hand info, but those handcuffs are apparently hella easy to pick. That's why Houdini used to use them in his tricks.
Although the person who told me was double joined, so she could just slip out without picking the lock.
I would've just wiped off the saliva. The foley...🤢🤮
New grad: mom called to say that it is starting to snow and she needs to come home now. We all had a good laugh.😊
11:08 clearly, the nurse was not looking at the correct head 😂
1:00 - the girl is a show-stopper, perfect comedic timing & acting. What's her channel? because I want to subscribe.
I feel the gal in the middle when they were answering the questions, I panic in tests, I mean you could ask me my name as part of a speed test and I'd probably have to think about it. I don't do well on speed tests
I was a pharmacist for a home health agency. I ended up being the one to tell the patient's daughter that her Dad had been put in hospice care.
Saw you in New Brunswick NJ, and we already bought tickets to see you again next year!
I once puked on an Army medic's desk. I had a severe kidney infection with 103 fever. Was the Army so she made me stand while getting my blood pressure. I kept telling her I needed to sit down because I didn't feel right. With no warning, I hurled everywhere. Next time maybe she'll let her patients sit down.
That first video made me laugh out loud!!😂
Come on down to tour Australia you would be so welcome
My friend actually almost died because they put the catheter in wrong.
She was having a baby and her vitals were dropping.
They couldn't figure out why so life flighted her to a larger, better hospital. Who then figured out the problem.
Mother and child were both ok afterwards.
4:36 actually we have nine holes on our entire body >:D
IYKYK
Morticians can tell you some great splash stories. Between bodily fluids and toxic chemicals...it's something. 🤣💀😳
When my dog had surgery she was discharged with a fentanyl patch and the nurse stressed how important it was to wear gloves when taking it off. I was also advised to keep methadone for my palliative care guinea pig away from the reach of my dog. I was dispensed like a month's worth of doses for her.
Huh?
The foley one is my biggest no. And if I had to have one of these, idk because poo and drool are the worst things for me so that leaves... I mean, at least its not infected? 😅
When I was nursing we had a gentleman who was about 6'6" & had bilateral CVA's To control his bowels he was given codeine phosphate & then a high soap & water enema twice a week.(this was in the 80's.) After we gave him the enema we had to get him on to the komode. It took two of us & often his legs would go into spasm. This time when it happened he couldn't hold the enema in. He let it go so all three of us ended up with shit in our shoes & soap, water & shit all over the floor as soon as we then moved all three of us ended up on the floor covered is shit & soap! I've never laugh so hard in my life, couldn't do anything else, all three of us just sat there laughing until help arrived.
New nurse at our Pediatric dr's office.. She did all the standard stuff with our newborn, but... I dont think she knew about the splash zone when weighing. Something I learned as a first time mom (she was about to weigh my third boy).. the flagpole in boys... watch out!
Son is put naked on the scale, and the pole goes up, I step back... nurse.. didnt know.. she gets DRENCHED. I take the diaper we had taken off and tried to shield her but it was too late.
10 minutes later in the office room.. Dr comes in.. Lets me know that their new nurse has finally been christened and learned a valuable lesson today.
I woke up with what looked like a huge bruise on the upper back of my leg. Feeling kind of terrified that I have a blood disorder that could be dangerous, I went to the Emergency. I was put in a room with curtain dividers and other people waiting. The doctor came in, looked at my "bruise" and said "You're having rough sex. There is nothing I can do for that." out loud. I hadn't dated or had sex since breaking up with ex 6 months prior. I said "Wow, you are disgusting." and walked out.
The "do you need to refill your anxiety medication? anxiety doesn't happen every day!" seriously offended me and probably everyone else with anxiety disorder. Good thing is if someone tries to tell me that, I'd prove them wrong instantly.😅😅
I've got a good story. Young female patient c/o intense lower abdominal pain. Dx as appendicitis and taken for surgery. When the registrar made made an insission, he perforated her bloated, infected, green, stinking uterus which exploded and covered him in infected pus. Turns out that the young woman had advanced pelvic inflammatory disease caused by long term Chlamydia infection and her appendix was fine. The poor surgical registrar showered about 10 times and got prophylactic antibiotics prescribed (it exploded and dripped into every exposed orifice, it went through his mask and goggles and surgical bandana) he was terrified about catching the Chlamydia and giving it to his fiancée. (Patient was given a thorough washout and lots of IV antibiotics and she was fine)
2:51 what do they mean "trying to figure out how to clean her"? Are we sure these aren't BOTH rookie nurses? She wasn't tarred and feathered, my dude, she got a little saliva on her. What is there to figure out?
OMG! I was laughing so hard that I nearly went into stayus asthmaticus.😆😂🤣😂😅😁
I got suspenders that are concealed under my jacket for my tie scrubs that the hospital provides. I've seen people have their pants fall down. It's really funny when it's someone who is already scrubbed in.
9:24 my mum used to work as a hospital orderly back in the 1980s when she was in high school. it was for just a couple months, and still she once saw a patient sh*t all over the proctologist during an examination. the proctologist had to yell "GIRLS HELP" and then my mum and her friend came in with a clean robe for the doc.
I need way more fentanyl than that, I got surgery and got yelled at for having to have twice as much as a normal patient. Don’t say that to a patient ever.
Putting morphine cream on my sister, made the mistake of removing my gloves before rubbing it in... 😂😂😂
The State Patrol story is a good reminder that handcuffs are not a security device. They are a restraint device. The lock is far too simple to provide any real security. The security comes from the law officer that cuffed the perp.
Maximus in the Tangled series is great as well but I mostly agree with your list. I didn't think about most of them for a while. I personally want a horse like Angus.
I lost it for the cock slap😂
Poop on the shoes. Shoes can be replaced. I have to laugh when first year MDs choose to wear expensive shoes to work, only to have various bodily fluids expelled onto them. 🤣
I went to OB with early contractions. They asked if a new phlebotomist could start my IV. I said sure. The girl got it in the vein and then for some reason pulled it out. I was spurting blood everywhere. The girl was covered, the walls were covered, the nurses were yelling at the girl to stop the bleed and I was laughing as i reached over and held my arm. 😂😂😂
One time I was charting next to an infectious disease doctor who was loudly dictating his notes about a patient’s scrotal infection.
The catheter one is definitely the worst.
My kid took my fent patch off without gloves once. The patch had only been on for an hour, but I was itchy as hell, so there was plenty of fent left on it. She had to lay down for a while, pupils like pin points.
I had an ER doc accidentally send me home with Oxybutynin (a bladder suppressant) instead of pain meds after having my ankle rebuilt. I told the young nurse the Rx didn’t sound right. He googled it on his phone and said it’s a muscle relaxer and would help with my pain.
9:18
I went to grab a chocolate from my jacket pocket while listening to this video, then i heard this... and i put the chocolate back T^T
I grew up with two hyperactive younger brothers and an equally hyperactive large dog, so I have already had my face licked. I would pick that again over anything else you have described in this video. 😂
Not code brown, a commode 19 😂😂😂
I was given the job of catheterising a lovely, bawdy lady. I spent about a half an hour trying to catheterise her wee love button, until I discovered my mistake. To quote her afterwards, "You've just made a happy lady, very old!" I loved her to bits, when she was discharged, I'd have tea with her at Fortnum & Masons once a month for many years afterwards.
Sorry I have to laugh. I work as a scheduler for Gastro. The wrong hole is not something you want to hear.
Student nurses perform the same function as apprentices in cannon making. "You'll be fine!" Just covers a multitude of sins!
I have done it before. 😂
