Yes, alas, stupid people are far too abundant in our world, and it seems that an unseemly majority are healthcare workers. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> </end quote></div>
HAHAHA!
Well, I don't think anyone has ever said anything like that, though I've been going to my clinic for YEARS and they know me, plus I think when I'm in the hospital they all but write it on the door. I've had people say I don't look it, but not in a dumb way (or.... at least that's how I took it?)
Now, last time I got a picc line, the lady who was sticking it in sliced me open and I felt a LOT of tension on my arm, and she goes "OH! Oh shoot!!! Oops.... um.. I hit the artery.. wow that's a lot of blood, man I'm kind of shaken now, I'm not sure if I can do this now... maybe I should.... OH WELL! Here we go!"
Then I felt a sharp shooting pain down my arm, and again she goes
"Oooh, I hit the artery again, wow I'm REALLY shaken now.... I don't think I can do this.... oh well, one more shot!"
So by this time my eyes are about the size of vintage plates and I was about to sit up in bed and go "HELLO!!!! LIVE PERSON HERE!!!"
But thank God she finally second guess herself and this big bearded guy walked over, pushed her out of the way and stuck it in without winking.
But to be talking about how badly you're second guessing yourself, WHILE STANDING OVER THE PATIENT WITH A KNIFE! Gah!
