Oh lord. I worked as a nurse in a nursing home. Standard practice is after a resident passes away, you remove tubing (unless cpr had been discontinued) bathe them and put new sheets and a gown,adult brief on them. Then pose them in a peaceful manner as to not upset an already grieving family and collect their personal affects. This means putting their dentures into the mouth in certain instances. While all that is well and good, done professionally and such, it does tend to become a little chaotic when you realize that you somehow got the DEAD woman already released and picked up by the funeral home and she has the ALIVE room mates dentures in!!

I was assessing a 90 year old male pt. I bent over him to listen to his heart & my stethescope slipped & the bell hit him in his testicles. Of course he winced & I apologized profusely. On my third "I'm so sorry he said "it's OK, I don't use them anymore anyway.

for the person who asked the blind man if he wanted the lights off... most blind people can still see light and shadows and such so it may have still been helpful for the lights to be off

I've been an RN for a little over a year now and I recently started a new position working in an ICU. I was near the end of my orientation on the job and had a trainer/preceptor who would oversee my patient care as I finished orientation. One night we come in and receive report from the outgoing nurse. Speaking about a patient who was intubated, he tells me it has been about a week since he had a bowel movement, and the doctor ordered him to give an enema. He followed up with the doctor about that order because he was aware that CT imaging of this patient's abdomen showed a "volvulus," and he was concerned about perforating his colon with this enema. The doctor assured him it was okay, but the nurse told me "I spoke with him about this like 30 minutes ago, so I didn't want to just give it and leave. So you can give it!" It's just an enema, so no big deal right? I give him the enema, wait for a about maybe 10 minutes, nothing happens, so I and my preceptor dry up the patient and leave to let the enema stew for a bit. We come back to give him a bed bath and change his sheets. I'm on one side of the bed, my preceptor is on the other so he can make sure the ET tube and ventilator circuit don't get kinked or dislodged. This means that the patients rear end is facing me. After we turned him on his side, I notice some brown liquid stool seep from his bum. Suddenly it begins to bubble like a steamy volcano that's about to rupture. Before I know it, liquid stool is spraying from this poor patient's butt, hitting the walls and unfortunately...... me. I was in shock because before I could react, I'm being sprayed with stool all over my Figs. I'm standing there after it's over and I can feel something running down my forehead. I look at my preceptor and he yells "it's on your head!" I left the room immediately and made someone else clean up the mess with my preceptor so I could change my scrubs and burn my face (with chemicals 😂) Now everyone on the unit calls me s**thead 😂

I have lots of embarrassing stories; I swear I will never assume again. I was taking care of one patient of the patients on medsurg floor, and while in the room, I said, sir, you have a good daughter who is always here to take such good care of you. The patient responded, " she is not my daughter; she is my girlfriend." I was so embarrassed, and if I could, I would just want to grab a sheet from a dirty laundry bin to cover my face and walked away from the room. Since she was so young and the patient was old enough to be her dad, I just assumed it; big mistake!.

I was working in a small city in central California as a traveling nurse where most of the people that came to our er spoke all Spanish. I was slowly learning some medical phrases in Spanish but not too much. Well I went to assist the pa on duty with a pelvic exam on a pregnant Hispanic lady. Kevin (the pa) asked me to tell her to open her legs. Confidently I said “abra la puerta “. Kevin and I watched as the lady got up her gown wide open and opened the door. She stood there looking at us. Kevin said to call a translator who said “ what did you say to her “? I told her and she looked at me and said “you told her to open the door! Open your legs is abra la piernes NOT ABRA LA PUERTA! Lol Kevin and I looked at each other and started laughing so hard we had to leave the room I almost peed my pants. I had to get another nurse to go in there I felt so stupid!!

i was a housekeeper for the OR floor and I didn't know a patient had passed away in the room I was about to clean I saw one of the surgeon( who is my mentor) and I said " Wow it's kinda dead tonight" and just when I said that the transporter came through the doors with the body. 😬😳. My mentor just smirked at me trying not to laugh.

Oh, I have a second one, this one is funnier. My dad used to do custodial supervision for Loyola Hospital, in Chicago, way back in the early 1970s. Sometimes they would hire temps to do basic things, like emptying trash, sweeping, etc.. They had a new lady in. They had her go down to the morgue. They forgot to tell her, there were preserved body parts in jars, including one man's entire head, which one sees when the elevator doors open. Honey, they heard that poor woman's scream all the way up the elevator shaft, three floors up! She came back up, and almost literally ran out without saying aword, and never came back. Dad felt so bad, in spite of it being (accidentally) funny as hell, he made sure she got paid in full for her shift.

When I was a nursing student i had an instructor who was always down my back. We were setting up oxygen for a patient. I attached the sterile H2O but forgot to break the tip off the bottle. My instructor turned up the O2 not noticing what I did. The bottle inflated, and no O2 coming through the tubing. When my instructor noticed what I did she took the tubing off the tip and twisted it off. All the contents of the inflated bottle sprayed out directly in her face. She was furious but the rest of us students couldn’t help but laugh. This did not help the relationship with this instructor, but my nursing advisor also found it very funny. It was the best day in clinical during that term. Lol

I’ll never forget what happened to my friend while we were in nursing school. She asked a patient her height. The response was, “I don’t know, I used to be 5’6” “. The patient was a bilateral BKA!

When I was a nursing student, I had to have my instructor watch me as I was about to hang a new bag of IV fluid. There was still some NS in the bag I needed to take down. So instead of taking the old bag down first and inverting it, I pulled the tubing out of it and promptly filled my shoes with NS. My instructor got a good laugh that day as did the patient. I was mortified.😮

😂😂 I had a dr ask me if I wanted to try "oral contraceptives" in front of my dad, I thought he meant "have your man finish in your mouth " and was like wtf NOO. It didn't click in my brain what he truly meant until I was on my way home....😂😂 Also had a dr ask me where I took my daughters temp, and I looked him dead in the eyes and said "at the house"💀

As a former medical typist, I was transcribing a report. I typed ...the right knee was obscured by stool. I missed the 'kid' in front. The radiologist wrote on the report ' worst case constipation'. That one made our Bloopers of the Year on our transcriptionist list!!

Patients aren't always the greatest listeners😆. I once asked a patient to remove her bra for a chest xray and I left the room. When I came back, she had no pants on. I asked her if she at least took off the bra. She had not.

I was in role transition my last semester of nursing school. I had a male patient that needed a Foley catheter. I had all my supplies and went into his room. He asked me “Are you any good at this?” The last thing you want to do is tell a patient you have never done a foley before so I replied, “Well, we’ll see “. 😂😂😂Yes, I successfully put the catheter in.

Not a medical professional, but when my kids were teens my middle daughter had a fall. My oldest daughter was in the health careers magnate program and team trainer for football and wrestling, so she was trained to assess injuries. She told me her sisters ankle was broken so we headed for the ER. The doc said it was a sprain but ordered an x-ray anyway. When the results came back, he asked "who told you her ankle was broken?" My response, "her 16 year old sister!" I like making docs cring.

I was in a rehab hospital for a spinal cord injury and you'd be amazed how many times one of the aides told me to roll over in the bed or move my legs into a different position. I always wanted to ask them if this was their first day 🙄

The first month or so working as an ophthalmic technician by myself, past the shadowing period, I had a patient with a prosthetic eye. It looked so real, it moved in the same direction as his other eye, I had no reason to think that he had a fake eye aside from looking at the chart, which I didn't. I would ask how his vision is, he would say "I cannot see out of this eye", which is the prosthetic eye. In my mind, I was thinking either cataract, macular degeneration, glaucoma, some natural ocular disease that took away that eye's vision that isn't blatantly obvious like trauma. When it came to testing his visual acuity, he once again emphasized that he could not see out of that eye, not even light. I could tell he was getting frustrated that I keep testing that eye for no reason. It was only until the very end of the exam, to check the intraocular pressure that I realize he had a fake eye when I was about to instill the numbing drop into that eye. I felt so embarrassed and tried to laugh it off, he didn't.

The patient needed to communicate more effectively. So you could do your job without hesitation. They need to tell you. I have a fake left eye. Then everyone is cool. I was in the back of an ambulance after a car accident, and the paramedics were doing their vitals, and they kept flashing the left eye, and wanted to know why it wasn't reacting. I told them twice that the left eye was fake. Then they got the idea, and moved on. It is vital that the patient communicate directly. Even if they are embarrassed, or don't want to admit to something. This is a lesson that is not learnt through guidance, or counseling, but through real world experiences for most handicap people. We all want to be "normal", and a lot of times we don't do it the right way.

As a patient at 23 who spent 3 months in and out of NY hospital back in 1980 for ITP, I have a few stories which always make me laugh. One day this cute guy came in to give me an obgyn exam. He was acting all cool as can be. Well, after he was done, he started talking to me while talking off his rubber gloves. Next thing I know, the glove went flying and just skimmed the top of my head. I just looked at him, but I could see his face getting red while he tried to continue to act cool. Then was I first was admitted, they didn't know much about ITP, so they put me in a private room, and I usually had 5 interns a day, asking me the same questions. One day, I was cranky by the time the last intern came in so after she started looking at the purpura spots, I asked her how many she counted. She looked at me funny, and I said, I heard the doctor say he's going ask you for a total purpura count. She actually started counting but fortunately was called away shortly after. That was a great hospital back in the day. Now, it's become another corporate mess, like many.

I worked in the Emergency Department. On a Saturday night, 2 16-year olds were brought by the paramedics. The girl's metal braces got caught on the guy's foreskin, as he wasn't circumcised. The Dr. had to perform a little "snip-snip". I brought the Dr. lidocaine WITH an epinephrine. That didn't go very well...... 😫 Anyway, love Your videos! You always examine both sides if the issues!

Hi, Dr. I've got one for you. Before my now late husband had had his liver transplant, he was needing both abdominal and thoracic centeses, regularly. Mainly thoracentesis by that point. He had just had one done, and had a tiny circular bandage on it, among the constellation of previous jab scars, at least 30 by then, because he needed between 2 and 7L of fluid removed each time. And yes, that was horrendous. Anyway, it was the next day, visiting his transplant surgeon, a wonderful doctor at Vanderbilt, in Nashville, who was examining him, shirtless. (My husband, not the doctor). He saw the tiny bandaid, and poked it, asking, "What's this?" My husband almost jumped off the exam table. 😳 When he was told, Omgs, he was sooooo embarrassed, as obviously he might have known or guessed, but we really liked him, and all had a laugh.

This was great! Love this idea. I had a good laugh. Thanks for that! Please keep em coming (:

X-ray tech here, doing a chest X-ray on a patient with reallllllly large breasts. Large enough that they were keeping her chest pretty far away from the upright bucky. I asked if she could reach under her gown and separate her breasts so she could press her breastbone against the board. I usually just roll the shoulders forward with the arms down by the patients sides, and she was wearing a larger gown…. so I had no idea what I was looking at when the image popped up. Suddenly I realized I forgot to say “then let them go” and had just taken an X-ray of the patient holding her breasts in her hands. Really made me wish (for the only time ever) that I still shot film so I could have made her a copy to bring home.

In the late 60s I started at the LA County Hospital School of Nursing. USC School of medicine on other side of Hospital. 18 years old just out of HS . From day one we were on the wards. My friend and I were told to get rectal temp on unconscious man. Never saw naked man. We rolled him on his side and were both squatting down looking for place to put thermometer and very riveted on task. We located what we thought was the right place and as we were just ready to make our move this man let out the loudest fart you could imagine. We’re were of course in professional move and did what any 18 year girl would do. We each let out huge scream, jumped what seemed like six feet backward and while still squatting and in the middle of nine patient ward and broke out in hysterical laughing as did the other patients. Our instructor came in and firmly asked what just happened and when we relayed what happened she told us to complete the task but left the room smirking. Our days continued along these lines. I was helping a sweet old Russian man who did not speak English. He was trying to tell my something and then started to vomit. Again, being a professional I flew across the room to the bathroom so now we were both vomiting. I finally returned to him apologizing profusely. He was so sweet. He took my hand and was comforting me. At the same time my friend had to get a stool sample, poop,. She somehow got through it but when she was finished the instructor told her that she put it in the wrong container. She just started crying so she was told to send it the way it was. Our first lessons in becoming desensitized! Three months later we were picking off black crusty dead skin from huge bed sores. People often ask nurses how they can do the things they have to do. I was asked to go to another 60 patient ward to pass meds for the day and was totally calm. The best thing about training at a huge county hospital was that what ever you were learning you had not one or two but a whole floor of patients with that diagnosis. Three of the greatest years of my life. Had the best training possible, so much sharing knowledge and patients who could not have been nicer. Never once did a doctor treat us with anything but respect. What a culture shock moving with my military based husband and working in the private sector. I worked OR and had doctors screaming at nurses all over the place, throwing instruments in the room and generally jerks except for the Anesthesiologist who were wonderful to work with.

I am an attending in the ER and this happened during my first year as an attending. The patient was in his 60s and had a PEG tube because of dysphagia (I think) and he was 100% fed via the tube, but he was also ambulatory and alert. He came in for a complication of the feeding tube, I think it was bleeding or something. I fixed his problem and in my ER we are so crowded with people a lot of pts receive care in the lobby. I had developed a pretty good rapport with the patient and I was gonna roll him back out to the lobby and was making small talk and I asked him if he was ready to go home and what his plans were for dinner tonight............................ I immediately tried to laugh it off and he laughed too (fortunately).

“My soul was crushed” is relatable

I ask a patient what tooth was bothering her bc it wasn’t in her chart and when she said just the one I was confused so I just ask the patient to open her mouth so I can take a look at her teeth… there wasn’t any teeth just a single tooth hanging on by just her gum tissue so that was weird then the dr comes in and he does the same thing 😂 so the dr apologized and as soon he was going to check the tooth it falls off it was so horrible

So roundabout 4 o’clock my anethesist This stupid iPad doesn’t have the correct spelling for that word because I know in America you call them Anasteasologists (that’s not even CLOSE to the right spelling). Anyway he came to see me and I had him several times before because I was a private patient and a funnier man you would never meet. He says to me you must be nice and hungry I said to him how would you like me to stick that propanol where the sun don’t shine and we both start laughing actually I am so what time are we going around? he said I have some bad news your surgeries been put back another three hours and then he started laughing(he was messing with me) and to get to the point we went he stuck me with his white juice as I call it okay that didn’t come out right, but you know propanol spelt it right the second time, put me to sleep I woke up starving!! Now the nurses at this particular hospital with not too keen to give you too much to eat at once and that’s fair enough so Mick Who is my surgeon came around and said trust me she starving you will have a riot give her exactly what she wants LOL and the nurses sort of laughed and said okay but we’re not cleaning up the mess. Six sandwiches later and two cans of soft drink I feel so much better so the moral of the story is a: Pay attention to the BIG NBM sign or MAKE a BIG NBM sign LOL, then when your tiny patient wakes up offer them six sandwiches!!!!!

I never wake up from anesthesia with anything very funny to say... it's always "I'm really hungry!"

I can actually relate to the blind man one!! 😅You’re right, we don’t always get the full story from the chart…I would love to see another video like this soon, and I have sooo many great stories to share! 😂

I had a stroke pt. Who had an prosthetic eye. He had impaired fine motor skills & I was going to wash his prosthesis. He kept insisting he wanted to do it himself. Against my better judgement I relented. He took the eye between his thumb & index finger & promptly dropped it in the floor. It bounced down the hall with me chasing after it. I got it & turned to see the pt. Shaking with laughter.

I was in EMT school so I had clinicals at the hospital and I was so nervous that I put the cardio leads on the wrong side of the chest which read nothing and it scared her,her son, and me. I called a nurse and she fixed it lol, her heart was beating 😂

Being stuck in a storeroom story well have your cell phone with you so you can email or call someone. Yes I know in some places of the hospital you can't use your phone but desperate times call for desperate measures.

hahaha... these were good.

Big thanks to the peeps who sent them in!

Regarding the NPO story. I have learned that it may not be best to say “nothing by mouth.” As a Respiratory Therapist I had a patient and family refuse a breathing treatment, because they were NPO-nothing by mouth. They refused to believe that NPO meant “nothing to drink or eat by mouth.”

First rotation in the morgue, talking to the patient and he sat up

THIS was GOOD…!! (FUNNY…!!) More, PLEASE…!! 👍🏼👣🩴

Not in Healthcare, but as a cashier I accidentally said to a man with one hand "need a hand with that?" He was not amused, and I wanted to curl up amd fade away.

I have a good one for you when I was a young nursing student but , I can't put it on an open forum. I learned a lot that day🙈

Yay not that much comments. Love this video it is very funny. What would you do if you see an image that you can barely see and you don’t know what’s going on?

U could probably go on forever with these from health care workers 👍

wait i’m an x-ray tech and yesterday i went to get a duck mask in a clean storage room and the door knob broke off on me too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 luckily there was another door leading to another hallway but that’s hilarious 😂 we are all living the same life

While working as an Asst. Director of Nursing in a rehab/long term care facility, we had a lady getting ready for her husband to visit, she asked the nursing assistants to comb her hair, she didn’t mean her head😂😂😂 I also had a patient named. (😂) my girlfriend who worked with me, said, “Alright who is the smart ass who gave me this fake name,) the man was sitting in the waiting room and heard the whole thing😂😂 he said he gets that all the time😂😂😂😂 this same person told a gentleman in a wheelchair to go have a seat in the exam room. Ah fun times 😂😂

I think one of the funniest moment was when Dr told bilateral above knee amputee: We will get you back on your feet in no time sir. I said: I don't think so doc. He was confused and asked me: Why not? And patient then removed the sheet covering his legs, patient and I were laughing while Dr tried to apologize.

radiology is the study of radios

About the sensor, there was a patient many years ago who was crushed to death by an X-Ray machine that malfunctioned.

Loving these stories. It makes me feel so much better about spilling my patients hot coffee on his bare chest. 😳😣😫

I had a skin tags removal today. The food administrator came in after the operation. By this time, one of the nurses had brought me a few sandwiches and fruit and fruit juice. This i had already eaten. Long story short, another patient is brought in from the operation room. By now i have already eaten, peed and dressed myself up. I am waiting for my family to pick me up. The food administrator asks the other patient if they want food. And politely says sorry that u still have to wait and see them eat. 🥺I then explained i was on my way home, but thank you for your caring words. Z

Yeah,🤣

Bro this man is beautiful 😭😩

I work on a bariatric unit. We walk the patients Q4 hrs. I get this lady up for a walk and she’s running into all kinds of things. I ask her if she’s supposed to wear glasses to which she denied. Still running into furniture in the hallway I start to worry she may be over medicated. We make it back to her room to which I ask about glasses again. She responds, why would I need glasses I’m blind! 😅

I was a 19 year old graduate nurse, waiting for state board results. Back in the day nurses prepped groin areas for cardiac caths. I was assigned this, never did this before. The older man patient looks at me, ibhave a hospital grade razor. Asks, have you done this before? Sure I said, how hard is it to shave a groin? Anyways, the cath lab complained that the prep was insufficient

😁❤doctors are human beings. Lol

A paraplegic child was telling me how his stomach hurt. He has no feeling there and I was worried for him and wondering what to do.

I went to a butt doctor for some tumors. After he examined me and he sat down to write. I walked over to him wincing in pain. I said, now i know why some women dont like anal sex. He was laughing so hard he began to 😂!
