Can Vomit Blood





Never disturb a sleeping baby....

3 am.
Nurse: Doc, can you see this patient.
Doc: Why?
Nurse: He hasn't been able to go to sleep after I woke him up.
Doc: Why you wake him up for?
Nurse: To take his sleeping pills.


.... unless you got milk!

    Haha!

    Patient : Doctor how long will it take for you to pull out my decayed tooth?

    Dentist : A couple of minutes.

    Patient : How much will is cost?

    Dentist : about $35.

    Patient : $35!!! For just a couple of minutes? Isn't that daylight robbery?

    Dentist : Well if time is your main grouse, I could always take a bit longer and pull out your teeth out slowly.

    I am quite sure this story is true because I have personally encountered it during my time as a HO.

    It is not as stupid as it sounds. I mean the nurse doesn't go "Wake up Mr Tan. You have to wake up to take your sleeping pills" THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS.

    What happens is that the nurses prepare all the medication for the patients in particular room. They put all the pills into little cups and then sort of distribute it to all the patients in the room. So after a while they forget what medicine exactly each patient is taking. Most times the patients have more than 1 medicine to take.

    So the nurse wakes all the patients up and tell them to take the medicine on their tables, most often forgetting exactly what medicine the patient is taking.

    It's more of a procedural flaw. It works for most cases.

    So please, nurses are not clowns. In fact they are very helpful and they have a very tough job. In Singapore nurses do a lot more than their western world counterparts and are underappreciated at times.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    That was very good!

    No wonder the patients have been getting it all wrong. They should be nice to the nurses rather than the doctors!

    Just like you should be nice and pray to God.

    Dr Bl Og, What will happen to the dr if he/she dates his/her patient?

    ReplyDelete

    we cannot date our patients, it can lead to very horrible consequences. The hospital will do nasty things to us because it is unethical to date your patients. it is the same reason as why teachers cannot date their students.

  18. Nurses don't act blur. Probably the nurse mentioned is a novice.

    I also witnessed blur doctors at work. Instead of making fun of them, I helped them to the best of my ability.

    Doctors, nurses and allied health must all work hand in hand. We are all in a team.

    think they should organise those matchmaking sessions in the hospital or across hospitals, so that those single and lonely souls have a place to mix around
