Medical Humor for 23Mar05

Post by Emery »

Now, you can stop implying that I am female :)


As a male nursing student in my clinical rotation, I was admitting an elderly woran onto our telemetry floor. It was obvious to me that the sweet lady was not very well oriented, so I was doing my best to be informative, calming, and respectful. When it was time to place the EKG leads, I discreetly tried to protect her privacy by positioning the leads through the neck on her gown. Under my professor's supervision, I was placing the third lead, when the paitent raised her eyes to mine, and with this sly look on her face, said, "I don't know what it is you are looking for honey, but I'm sure you'll be disappointed when you fine it."


(It's nice to see that old people can still have a sense of humor! :) )
Be ye kind one unto another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
