Hospital Blogging: Nurses

The thing that really stinks about being in the hospital is that you’re surrounded by pretty women who serve on you hand and foot, but all they ever want to talk about are your bowel movements.

Oh well when I went there before they had an exquifax ad up that said FICO.
It’s a rotating ad I guess
I thought it would remind you of happier times.

How ya doing?

Rob,
I missed your post last night.
Belatedly: Get well soon.

Get well soon--I just had my gallbladder out, too.  Was a quick way to lose 8 lbs or so due to the liquid diet they had me on to help with the pancreatitis. 

And yes, I can certainly see why a single man would fall for someone in the caring professions while being asked about BMs and “are you a heavy drinker?” I’m personally amazed that any sane man ever divorces a nurse, but I have heard that it happens.

(heavy drinking sometimes leads to pancreatitis...why, I don’t know at all)

Rob, you make a “hot nurse” post with no pictures?

For shame!

Bike Bubba… Because heavy drinking leads to protein build up which is a step before turning into stones that block the pancreatic duct.
If I remember right, alcohol causes the release of a particular enzymes that increases the absorption through small ducts in the pancreas, which allows harmful digestive fluids in and in turn damage healthy tissue leading to pancreatitis

Thanks, Anna.  How’d you learn that?  EMT training, or???

Bike Bubba on December 17, 2007 at 12:43 pm

Medic for several years and had my share of many, many heavy and I mean HEAVY drinkers

Rob,

The nurses might look good, but I hear they’re not very good between the sheets…

... they always wait for the swelling to go down..

[bah dum dump!]

Get well, my friend.


...for great justice

Do you tell them that, that is rather personal?  Why do they need to know that?

Zsa Zsa, I assume you’re asking about why they ask about bowel movements, right?  The reason is simple; silent bowels mean that your intestines aren’t working, and if things don’t change, there are other bad effects that will happen.  Noisy bowels (and yes they listen with a stethoscope!) mean that the body is recovering from its trauma and surgery and such.  Brown on porcelain means that the recovery process is going quite well.

Bike Bubba on December 17, 2007 at 03:01 pm

Thanks for that information Bike Bub. I really have always wondered why they did that.

I thought nurses were just into that stuff.  Probably why they went into nursing.

Probably the same reason that the women are always Johnny on the spot to change the poopie diapers.


The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.
