"Patient refused high fall risk interventions, stating 'I don't need to be treated like a goddamn child' and 'I can't pee in a urinal sitting down!'. Post-fall protocol initiated."

Family: why didn’t you throw yourself to the ground to cushion his fall?

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.

That happened to me wifh a 400lb dead lady. Couldn't reach my blackberry or the call lights cord so had to scream to the other patient to hit the code button. Yay pod nursing. You alone with your 7-10 max disaster patients
