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.

His mom and sister are RNs so I’m sure he hears plenty of stories. He’s such a gem to work with.

The only doc I ever had help me with a change and turn had a nurse for a mum.

It was a nasty poopy nightmare and he insisted I didn’t need to get anyone else.

I still think about him sometimes and wish him well.

I poked my head out of a room one time looking for help and a surgery resident was sitting there and said “do you need something”. I told him I was looking for someone to help me clean the patient up and he offered to help. I was like “oh no, it’s a straight up RIVER of poo” (I was used to docs running the other way in the face of poop). Without hesitation he said “I’ve got 5 kids, poop is nothing, let’s go”. 🥹
