Because I didn't want to hijack crash's thread...but regarding nurses who don't think before they speak...so we're in the ICU

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Feb 20 '13, 11:50

with a baby with meningitis, right? We can't see him unless we're wearing the hazmat suit and shit.

Nurse thinks she's helping by relating to us that she had a niece who had meningitis and she "only lost an arm and a leg".

Yeah...that makes me fell a fuck of a lot better. Idiots.

Yeah, that's awful (and glad it was ok. Jeebus.). My bad one was actually a resident. When my ex-wife went in for a concussion they did a CAT scan - pmb Feb 20, 12:15 2

Maybe she was speaking metaphorically about the cost of her stay? :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 20, 11:53

- We were insanely lucky. There were 5 or 6 cases that broke out at the same time. Cameron was the only one who lived. - Jim Feb 20, 11:53 17
  - By the way, I should probably mention that I just looked at Cam's 2nd Trimester grades...lowest score was a 91%. - Jim Feb 20, 12:15 2
    - Trimester? - Spawn Feb 20, 12:20 1
      - No shit...it's hard as hell to keep up with. The high school does semesters, so next year, all will be back to normal. -- nm - Jim Feb 20, 12:25
  - Oh my God. -- nm - David Feb 20, 12:11
  - If my child was the one that lived, I'd definitely reserve my judgment over some silly anecdote -- nm - con_carne Feb 20, 12:08
  - Wow. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 11:57
  - holy crap. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:55
  - whoa. -- nm - Andie Feb 20, 11:55
  - Wow. That's scary. -- nm - Krusty Feb 20, 11:55
  - Just think though that if that happened, your odds of running over his foot were down 50% - lia si Feb 20, 11:55 5
    - Heh...ok, that made me laugh. -- nm - Jim Feb 20, 11:57 1
      - Whew, I was worried. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 20, 11:58
    - ... on the one hand, this is funny. - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:56 2
      - (I'm going to have to hambanner myself at this rate) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 11:56 1
        
        Do it. Do it. - Spawn Feb 20, 11:57
  - Holy fuck. -- nm - Spawn Feb 20, 11:54 1
    - Our pediatrician saved his life...I 100% believe that. With that disease, you have an incredibly small amount of time with which to react... - Jim Feb 20, 11:59
jesus. -- nm - loosilu Feb 20, 11:51
ayyiyi. -- nm - b. Feb 20, 11:51
