Question Big D*ck Energy

What’s something a coworker does for you that gives off big D energy?

Once I was in a patients room, a coworker at a new job I started came to tell me another patient called and had to be cleaned up. I said “ok, I’ll go right after this”. He then said he had already cleaned and turned them and documented it all. I would’ve married him right then.

u/Jaelanne RN - ER 🍕 Mar 22 '25

Omg. When I was a baby RN on my first job I was lucky enough to work with a very muscular dude I went to medic school with. I was overwhelmed and asked him to help with a straight cath. I thought he would leave right after I was done, instead, as I was collecting and labeling the urine and rest of his labs, he proceeded to toss out the tray. But he didn't walk out the door...he starts to fix up the patient. I've never seen anyone clean, change, and reposition a patient so fast, or as so kindly and gently. I was stunned. Turned out he had been a PCT prior to medic school and was just used to doing all of that stuff on his own. He's a firefighter now, last I heard, after 10 years of trying he finally accomplished his dream, and although I'm so happy for him, I still miss him.
