I remember this time last year, iv pumps, bedside alarm, and fall alarms beeping, walkie talkie ringing, breathing machines alarming, and code blue/certs just became white background noise for me
The other day one of my patient asked me how many boyfriends I have. I said, “One.” He said, “WHAT? Only one?!” And I was like, “ummm yeah. One at a time.” He busted out laughing and I asked him, “wbu? How many gf do you have?” He said “I have a wife. One wife at a time” 😂
And he was “por favor seniora stop” and I was like there’s no way in hell I missed. And then I was like “mira me” bc he kept looking at the damn needle. And I was like “done. See? No pasa nada” and then I asked “dolor?” And he said “no” 🙄
Pt cracks me up bro. He speaks Spanish and I know some. This grown man is scared of needles and was shaking and holding my hand and begging me to go slowly and I was like “no pass nada senior” to ease his nerves and he started laughing. He started screaming when I stuck a 15g…
