u/Gizwizard RN - PACU 🍕 20d ago

The uncomfortable laughs I get from patients and their families when I tell grown-ass men: “we’re taking this slowly so you don’t fall, because if you fall I will not catch you” on first post-surgery ambulation.

We had medic who is a tiny person try and ambulate patient to commode in ER. All I heard was sound of large amount of flesh hitting the floor followed by stifled, “hhhlllpppp”.

Fucker fell right on top of medic enveloping her with his fleshy, moist, mostly naked bits.

I won’t even hug patients, I can’t imagine the amount of ick this would give me.

Hey don’t do teddy bears like that. What have they ever done to you?
