My mother was a WW II era nurse. One night shift, she freaked out a nursing assistant who came running up to the nurse’s station in great alarm and blurted, “Mr. Jackson fell out of bed on his head and he’s dead!” The agitation (new assistant) and the triple rhyme struck my mom as funny, so she cracked up, horrifying the fresh young nursing assistant and wounding her tender sensibilities. Mom checked on the late Mr. Jackson and found him crumpled up in the floor at the foot of the bed. He had died, and a post-mortem spasm catapulted him down the length of his bed, where he smashed, head first, into the wall, making a significant dent. She knew it happened after death because there was no bleeding or bruising.
That sounds like something I would do. 😂
Shrimping. What has been heard, cannot be unheard. TYVM.
Unfortunately 😕
Steve didn't want to know what Shrimping was. Now we all know in horror.
nor sounding apparently... lol
It's felching with a straw 🤢
I could have lived without knowing that too. 🤢
😩🤮
🤢 🤮
That story where the nurse had to do the skill check with the DON, I swear the woman using the dead nurse's licenses over time sounds like an escaped psych patient.
The best story I have happened about 2 years ago, my mom went to the ob/gyn and he scheduled her in for some routine exams. On the day of the exam she walks into the clinic and all the nurses are being super nice to her, going out of their way to make sure she is comfortable and she starts getting a little weirded out. She walks into the exam room and they set her up to do a breast exam first. The lady (I don't know if it was a nurse or a doctor) starts checking her out and goes "wow, these are super well done. They look so real." And my mom gets a little confused. "They are real" "no but really, I can't even see a scar". Mom is getting more weirded out by the minute. Next the lady asks my mom to bend over, she also mentions something about everything being very realistic before proceeding with the exam and after a few moments goes "This is very strange, I can't find your prostate anywhere. Mom stops. "I don't have a prostate." "What?" "I'm a woman" the exam lady goes pale "no, yeah I know, but they shouldn't have removed your prostate" "I've never had a prostate" "wait, you are a woman?". Turns out the doctor had accidentally ordered a prostate exam instead of the ultrasound, somehow my mom didn't notice and the poor staff in the clinic thought she was a trans woman so you can imagine how confused that poor lady was. My mom couldn't stop laughing.
Even if the patient were a trans woman, many trans women grow their own breasts because of the hormone treatment. I guess the woman examining your mom had some inaccurate ideas about the anatomy of trans women.
I'm glad she had a good sense of humor about it. So many people would completely offended and even try to sue.
Why would a nurse or doctor assume a trans woman would have breast scars? The trans women I know grew their own breasts as a result of the hormone treatments they take.
Asthma in the ER stories!!
Years ago, I lived across the street from a very small local hospital. It did have an ER, though, and that was very convenient a couple of times.
My asthma is aggravated by allergies. One night I woke up and I couldn't breathe well; my meds didn't work. I know all I need is a real good hit from that O2+albuterol pipe, but since I don't have oxygen coming out of my walls, I walk across the street and go into the ER.
There's nobody there for a little while, but I'm only uncomfortable and not dying yet, so okay. Finally someone shows up, puts me in a room, and hooks me up with the sweet smoke of life.
A few minutes later, someone else shows up... with a golden retriever. IN THE ER. I was like ???? but I had my pipe and so I made sure to stay in my room until my lungs were real chill before walking past golden retriever dander. If that dog had come up close to me, that might have turned into a "let's stay overnight, should I call a lawyer" visit.
I cannot imagine what made someone think that was an okay thing to do!
---------
I was in the ER for asthma each time I visited family for a few years. Smokers, strange cats and dogs, and once again it's christmas or new year's eve in the ER. A triage nurse once said she could tell how bad an asthmatic is by how many words they can say at once before having to take another breath. "Oh really? [gasp] Can you tell me [gasp] more about that? [gasp]"
Once I went in and my O2 sat was low enough that we skipped over all the triage, paperwork, and even the "what's your name" business. I had like eight people around me on the bed, putting little stickers on me, getting the IV in, so on. It was a *lot*. I hadn't felt light-headed walking into the place but that was too much excitement. I managed to say "there's too many of you, I'm gonna pass out" and POOF they were gone so fast I might have thought I imagined them. I don't know where they went, maybe they dropped under the bed or popped into another dimension. Some kind of nurse magic trick.
--------
When I was in college, I went over to the student health center in the middle of the night. Same deal as before, I'll be fine after I get the pipe. The nurse tried to hook me up to the oxygen in the wall, but there wasn't any. They were doing maintenance or something and hadn't set up an alternative or even told everyone.
Fortunately, they found a tank, so I there I was, sitting in a wheelchair, holding the pipe in one hand and the O2 tank in another, listening to them going back and forth about whether anywhere in the place had the wall O2 working. I'm so glad they found one -- a really nice room, too, with a lovely view -- so I didn't have to get a transport to the Big Grown-Up Hospital.
I'm much better controlled now!
My sister worked in a hospital where it was somehow discovered that the wall O2 in one of the rooms had *never* been connected. They had to go back through their records determine which of the deaths that had occurred in that room over the years could be attributed to that equipment failure. No idea what the results were.
That dog was most likely someone's service dog.
When you said shrimping I immediately thought of FOREST GUMP !! 😅
Me too!
🏃🌳🏃 🦐🦐🦐
Everyone is talking about shrimping from a boat. But dont you think it's the type where you catch sandprawns with a mud pump? You walk across the mud flats and push the long pipe into the mud, pump out a column of mud by suction and squirt the mud, water and prawns onto the surface to collect and go in the bucket?
This needs to be higher up the comment section. Definitely makes sense!
Pretty sure the “saving grocery bags for trash bags” is a human thing lol
Yes but most people don’t save them in their assholes lol😂
Yeah I'm white and i do the same thing. So does everyone else i know haha
Yup, and cat box 😂
Yup I do this.
My family always did this. It’s recycling
Doesn’t everyone save their plastic bags and use them as garbage sacks in the bathroom or at least as trashcan liners!
I haven’t bought liners for bathroom trash cans since they switched over to plastic bags from paper bags! 😂😂
Oh heck yeah! They have a rack you can buy that fits over cabinet doors with loops, specifically to hold grocery bags. That's what we use. Easy to pick up, tie, and diescard in the big can out front.
Used to, before they were banned in our country.
@@corrinbielawski8035some states and cities in the United States have banned them as well. Thankfully I live in a rural area and we don’t have to do the guidelines
Yes I do, but next year they are switching the state to paper bags as they claim no one is reusing them.
I haven't ever bought small trash can liners. I live in WA and we have a plastic bag "ban", like CA, which isn't really a ban at all. Retailers can opt to buy thicker reusable bags but have to charge 8 cents each, which goes directly to the state. They're not really reusable in a retail setting. The thicker bags are great, though, for trashcan liners, and you can pack them super full, and they don't generally rip. It's just a feel good revenue stream for the state. CA has already figured out that their plastic waste went through the roof after their "ban" and are looking at repealing it.
“We will be talking a bout you in the break room, good sir”. Lol!
Shrimping is not something I ever needed to know. I'm older, and hopefully, I'll forget it soon
praying for memory loss was not on my 2025 bingo card
The upside to Alzheimers.
All comments here are funny as! 😂😂😂.
Not fair! 😂
I want to wash my brain with bleach now to remove that story. 😂😂😂
Well, I do physical therapy, and I was gait training an elderly woman with her walker in the hallway of a skilled nursing facility. I look up and see a very tall man in the opposite hallway coming towards us completely naked with the nurses trying to stop him I told my patient let’s sit down, but she catches a glimpse of the gentlemen and says hell no I haven’t seen that in years I want to look.
Good on, girl!
😂😂😂😂
She's old, not dead.
🤣
😂
In 1979, I had just graduated from college and was working at a title company as an escrow secretary
I got to know a lot of real estate agents.
Fast forward, I take an entry level secretary job at my local hospital. One day, in the hall, I see one of the real estate agents I knew, now dressed in a nurses white uniform and cap. I said hello, when did you start nursing? Her face turned bright red, and she walked past me, saying nothing. The Director of Nursing ( a man), approached me and asked how I knew her. I told him. I found out later that she had a fake RN license, and the staff were complaining that she had no nursing skills whatsoever. She was arrested and jailed.
Thank you😊
Good catch!
You leave us with shrimping?!?!?!?! Couldn't you have left us with a better image?
Right😂
I am going to run and tell my husband about shrimping and watch him gag 😅
@favouritezee7096 my man's would literally probs dump me for this explanation...one day i announced the meaning of docking he dead ass looked at me and said you are disgusting lol I think about it n often still fkn embarrassed...happy holidays 😅 mthr fkrs
Now I have to live with knowing what shrimping is 😢. Dammit and right before I go to sleep. Thank you and sweet dreams to you too 😂!
😂
I dont consider myself easily disgusted. But. Dear. God. Shrimping.
Totally agree. Raised in a medical family that discussed surgeries and illnesses at the dinner table, b u t that one was way worse than anything ever discussed in our family. YUCK!
5:16 Joey: "Whoah! Up? Nothing's goin' up! What's a urethra?" 😂
We in BC, Canada had a nurse that was using illegal IDs to practice in BC and Ontario. Apparently in jail now.
Back in the 80’s we had a woman who was so pissed off about the waiting time she stole a uniform and started working as a “nurse” to prove a point, she held this position for almost a year before she was found out. This woman was giving injections as well…😮
I got off work one evening and went to visit a friend in a different hospital. This nurse walks in, sees me and tells me the chairs needed to be set up in a designated space. I looked her, I wasn't even wearing a badge or anything but she meant business so I was like, okay. I went and moved a bunch of chairs for her. I sat down for a minute and she was pissed because I wasn't done and I told her, "You do know, I don't work here, right?" I will never forget the look on her face! I did not interact with any patients other than my friend and that was all non-medical.
@@melissarmt7330 😂😂😂😂😂
😮😮😮😮😮
Yikes!!!!
TBH, giving injections is super easy. Other stuff, not so much.
I've heard of shrimping as in having bad posture or cringing, or as a particular shape cats will sleep in (see also: loafing, splooting), but never... that
23 years in healthcare and I have seen some things man 0.o I'm just now learning what "shrimping" is... too soon...
I thought shrimping had to do with toe licking/sucking.
I think I will skip the shrimp salad I ordered for lunch.🤮😂
I thought shrimping was when you stay hunched over your desk all day LMAO
Yeah, that one is just completely made up.
A shrimp job is sucking toes. Felching is eating the semen out of someone’s asshole. The elaborate deal with the straw is just something a twelve year old made up.
I will never forget when he did the skit of a Philadelphia sidecar..prepare to be shocked..look up Meth Addicts in the ER
Well I guess I need to get off RUclips and go to work I've just learned what shrimping is, and in an earlier video I just learned what a key party is. I've gone 50 years not knowing any of this😮 the only up side is, I half major neurocognitive disorder, so hopefully I will forget these fun facts sooner than later 😂
Hysterical "that'll end ya"😂
My mom is a nurse planner for an agency that specializes in home care, she was once in the ER for the time she sliced her leg open on a broken glass vase. She was sitting in the waiting room waiting to be admitted for stitches when a guy is wheeled in using one of the wheelchairs available at the entrance to our local ER, not by paramedics, but by his friend. Some way, somehow he had managed to get one of the metal poles that secure chainlink fencing stuck in his leg. Not pieces, a whole pole going through his leg. I don't remember the exact details of what she said but apparently the incident involved a baseball diamond, alcohol, and a truck. He appeared on her client list for nurse dispatch a week after she saw him.
I’m obsessed with your posts! Am a retired RN but don’t have any experiences like you described! Please don’t go away!😂
magining eating shrimp Alfredo and your watching this video and the part about shrimping comes on as your take a big bite of shrimp and cream sauce 🤮🤮🤮😂😂😂😂
That. Is. Awful. Have an upvote.

Was just thinking about eating the shrimp, but now have a new gross food... thankfully I typically eat chicken alfredo 😂
Cardiac catheterization tech has improved so much. It used to be like a bandaid for patients till they actually needed bypass. I’ve heard of patients who get a modern cath and appropriate PT who never need further surgery.
So true!
Patients who had bypass surgery years ago are living with stents & enjoying the fact they didn't require a CABG....and all the pain, risk, recovery, etc., etc.
@@OceanSwimmer I had a 3xCABG 4 years ago and had no pain except when I coughed or sneezed until my sternum healed. Wish I could have had the easier route though.
That is so wonderful to hear! As a "civilian", I learn about new advances in patient care the hard way--by my friends, family or me going to the ER.
@@Hypatia52 I’m a civilian too, I used to work in a hospital in transcription, when typewriting was still a thing!
@@poochiew.9302 that’s gotta be an incredibly painful recovery ❤️🩹 period.
The psych consult for insertions is so true! We had one poor patient who repeatedly inserted batteries into theirself and required exam under anesthesia to remove. It was very much a psych case, for a variety of reasons, but finally they were able to get their care sorted out. They haven't returned for surgery in the last year, which is a very good thing.
Omg, during the air-conditioning wire coil into the bladder story, I had a viagra ad playing
"it puts the lotion on the skin." 😂
Shrimping sounds like one of the countless fictitious sex acts that are to be found in Urban Dictionary.
Sadly, there are too many people who do this sort of sick stuff and more.
@@JesusluvmeI heard of one where I guess if that is the kink you are into, poop is involved on the face. That mental image was terrible.
If you think that's gross, don't look up “knotting”
Now I need to know what knotting is 😱@@Piankhi_the_Greater
I assume "shrimping" is in reference to the "vein" of the shrimp?
Oh god, that idea just makes it worse somehow.
Somebody seriously needs to super sleuth Google that fake DoN nurse! We need to know if she got caught!!!
My family saves plastic grocery bags too. Mostly for trash bags, but sometimes to carry bottles and cans for recycling.
Mine too, but they kept them in a ball under the kitchen sink, not up their 🍑😝
We keep the ones from posh shops for "best"😂
We've used them to pick up the dogs' business from the yard (and sometimes the floor)
I remember falling asleep in the open study area at college. Just as I closed my eyes a bug flew up my nose. I know I looked nuts blowing my nose like crazy and screaming.😂 😂
I have experienced peri care. It was the most humiliating moment of my life. I've had A LOT of surgery, been poked, prodded, inside and out. But peri care was the worst. I cried from embarrassment the entire time.

Hit 200k today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in June 2024
Congratulations on hitting the 200k milestone! That's an incredible growth from 14k in just a few months - what strategies or investments did you implement to achieve this remarkable success?
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks, BTC, and XRP and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.
Hello, how did you achieve such biweekly returns? I'm a newbie and I've lost a lot of money investing on my own. Please how do I go about it, the year is almost coming to an end, how can I make profit?
I'm desperate to turn my finances around. I've been working three jobs just to pay off debt. Can someone please share contact or information? I need her help.🙏
I'm also interested in learning more about Elizabeth's services. Can you share more about your experience?"
My daughter popped a hole in her eardrum with a qtip,. She now has severe hearing loss in that ear
I'm sorry, sounding… with HVAC wire…
OH! NEW STEVE VIDEO!! 🎉✨🎊❤
"Shrimping is when..." 😳🤢🤮🤯
Re: the “shrimping” grossfest, the term has also long been used to describe sucking someone’s toes. I was initially wondering how someone could be that disgusted, but apparently the definition has changed!
That's also disgusting but far less than. Uh. That.
my BFF after seeing the shrimping part ... "FOREST GUMP IS RUINED"
I just about puked 🤮🤢 when you was telling us about shrimping
Yeah, had that one co-worker that told everyone everything. She told us that she had a tick on her cooter and asked the doctor to check her for a yeast infection while he was at it. A male co-worker was visibly grossed out upon hearing about it. So daily I would get a cup of cottage cheese and sprinkle chocolate chips and eat it in front of him. 😂
Having a bad day 😢 thank you 😊 nurse Steve
My grandma was a nurse and had some really wild stories to tell, but your's take the cake! The shrimping stories left me with mixed emotions. It was funny, interesting, and sexaully educational. On the other hand, now I will know what shrimping is for the rest of my life. 😮
The cheese pot whaaaaat??! 🤣
HAPPY NEW YEAR NURSE STEVE
I'm really late to the party, but my ER Tech professor (who I'll refer to as Prof) told us an unbelievable ER story she personally experienced:
One day, Prof was working as a triage nurse. A patient came in via ambulance with their chief complaint being toe pain -- nothing else. The other triage nurses were grumbling about "people who come in to waste their time with non-emergent problems like toe pain," but Prof paused and took a good look at the patient. The patient was sweating heavily, extremely pale, and had some difficulty breathing. Prof suspected that there was a cardiac issue going on, and so she brought the patient back and had them hooked up to an EKG.
It was torsades.
The toe pain could have been incidental, or it could have been caused by it, but like. That was the _only_ symptom that the patient noticed. One of the very few times that toe pain ended up being a genuine medical emergency.
I miss the person I was about 4 minutes ago.
LOL, oh my word, laughing so hard that my sides hurt. Too funny.
My dad woke up in the middle of getting a heart stint and he heard someone ask for the large balloon or something like that and he said “oooo someone’s getting hardware” lmao the whole room went silent and the doctor quietly told the anesthesiologist to handle it🤣🤣🤣
Saving plastic shopping bags is recycling when you use them for your garbage or I use some of them for carrying things up and downstairs so I don’t drop my iPad or my iPhone
I also use the to store stuff in them that I want kept together because I don't have anywhere to put the stuff. Helps me keep my place clean and orderly
Someone needs to tell that man, your stomach is not supposed to look like the bottom of the ocean.
The bottom of the ocean isn't supposed to look like that either. 😥
I had a moth stuck in my ear. They didn't believe me at the doctors lol. They said it was ear wax because it was orange😵💫. I begged them to believe me. Turns out it was an orange moth with white wings. Irrigation saved me😂
My mom used to say, "Don't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear".
I can’t wait to tell my guy friends about shrimping just to see them freak! Payback for years of disgusting stories 😂
Clean the Cheese Pot had me dying 😂
Had a patient many years ago in the dementia ward at the nursing home. She had to be fed and whichever Aide had her, always had to count the silverware afterwards. Not only hers, but anyone within reach. "Granny" liked to play hide the spoon-guess where?
LOVE this best of XD Thank you for making me laugh and happy new year!! xo
Happy New Year. Learn something new every day😅😅🎉🎉🎉
The act described isn't shrimping, it's filching. Shrimping is sucking on toes.
I don't know why are either are called that. Fun fact though, there's an episode of south park (or maybe it's a scene in one of movies) where someone is playing a piano in the background and instead of Fletcher and Sons it says "Filcher and Sons" which to this day is one of the nastiest jokes I think they've ever done.
Filching is when a person steals website code from another website and uses it on their own. Felching is sticking a straw up the booty hole and getting that chocolate vanilla swirl snack. 😂🤢
My father and grandfather were commercial shrimpers. I will never be able to think of their profession without cringing ever again. Later in life, my dad ran chartered day cruises where the clients would go off and shrimp and then cook the catch into a southern shrimp boil. "Let's go shrimping!" was something of a slogan for advertisements. Now it just sounds so wrong...
When he said he didn't know what it was, I thought it's fishing for shrimp, duh. I was sadly mistaken.
@trystanmentzer873 Yeah Trys, that's what I grew up knowing, but this "urban dictionary" type of definition - I could have lived without 😂
I didn't think after being an RN for 30 years that I still had a gag reflex any more. Apparently that's wrong! Shrimping🤢🤮
Whatever you do, don't look up "felching." Just don't.
Sharpie cap? I got a "prairie dog" mental image. 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
😂😂 the imate wacamole is hilarious 😂😂
I heard of shrimping but under a different name, felching 🤢🤮
I've heard at least four different prison stores on how some new prisoner tries to mess with the nurse and the other prisoners give him an attitude adjustment.
I got a moth stuck in my ear a few years back. I made my dad take me to urgent care after hours of hearing it moving around in the canal. The doctor said that they just had to remove a moth a couple of weeks prior from someone else's ear so they knew exactly what to do. The extraction started with them drowning the moth with baby shampoo, which I swear I could hear the dying screech coming from the bug. Once it was dead and not moving they pulled it out, put it in a jar, and asked me if I wanted to keep it. Probably should have.
My son has always coughed when cleaning his ears.
Me too, that has to do with the Vegas nerve being over stimulated, so weird I know.
@lisamoulton2540 My Vegus nerve just makes me pass out when I have cramps.
@tiacalenture3238 yikes. I'm so sorry. Yeah that nerve is responsible for quite a few body processes. Hang in there.
When I was working as a travel nurse on a medical surgical floor, I admitted a patient who was very intoxicated. He kept on getting up out of bed and setting off the bed alarm. I proceeded to scold him and I told him that he was not allowed to get out of bed without using the call bell first. I left the room to tend to another patient. At that facility all the nurses had cordless phones and we put our extension on the Whiteboard at the head of the bed so the patient could call us when needed. His roommate called me and told me that I needed to return to the room. When I got to the room the patient was standing on the bed. He handed me a cup. Inside of the cup was a giant turd. Instead of calling me to go to the bathroom he thought it would be a good idea to poop in the cup that was on his bedside table. It was one of those reusable plastic cups that used to come in a set with the pitcher. I have no idea how he successfully aimed that giant turd in that little cup. He did, however, listen to me. He never got out of bed.
I feel the guy saying he has such bad luck. I have that much bad luck myself and my friends seriously call me Murphy’s daughter (after murphy’s law) it’s that bad. It’s been 12 years of bad luck now. From getting severely disabled to losing 2 cats ( only 1 and 2 and a half year old) in the span of a year just to start the list of. Believe me you get scared of anything going wrong especially if your life depends on it.
Ok. Just several seconds in and I was not prepared for that sentence! 😮
Now I know what shrimping is...and immediately gagged
Thanks SO much, I will never unhear that.
people are gross.
I just dry my ears with q-tips. I flush my ears in the shower. The wax is gone.
I could have lived the rest of my life not knowing what " Shrimping " was. And that this is something people do for " fun".
Imma have to come back for the shrimping comments
First time I heard about shrimping and what it is 😮😮 now I learned something new
I will never eat shrimp again.
Jesus Christ. It’s been a while since I knew of a new fetish, thank you for letting me know about shrimping.
Been shovin' Q-tips in my ears since '01 and I've never had any problems 🤷😂
Oh God, the older I get the more I learn, shrimping used to mean little children on the beach with nets by rock pools, is there nothing innocent left anymore😢
"And now i own ear plugs"
Omg finally someone else who will be wearing earplugs for the same fear based reason i do 😂 but also omg thats awful
That Director of Nurses story sounds like middle manager Michael Scott's character on The Office😂😂 ..... Cringe that it happened in real life!!🙀
See you in April in San Diego!!
So I have a patient side story about a nurse who… was not ready for what I had to say. He was placing an IV for me and asked about what procedure I was there for. I said a DNC. For context I live in a state where many…. Disapprove… of any abortion. So she started describing “scraping the poor baby out”. My mom said she thought she was trying to talk me out of the procedure without being obvious. But I wasn’t there for an abortion. I was there for a genetic condition. So I replied by saying I’ve literally never bad sex due to trauma and counter her abortion description with a vivid description of my month and a half long period with strawberry sized clots where I had to not only wear adult diapers to try to sleep but also have a piss pad under me because of the excessive blood. My mom added in how her grandmother had to have a hysterectomy in the ER from the same condition as well as blood transfusions because she nearly died from the excessive bleeding.
Nurse hurried out after getting the IV in moving a lot faster than she came in. DNC only bought me like two months of back to normal before I ended up getting a hysterectomy. I hope that nurse learned a lesson about assumptions.
That sucks. Sorry the dnc wasn't more effective.
I'm surprised that a nurse would automatically assume abortion because they are also frequently performed after miscarriage/false pregnancy.
My cousin has a hormone condition that can lead to severe cysts. She had to have surgery to remove several and was told she would never be able to have kids. She got pregnant, but when she went for an ultrasound, they couldn't find te heart beat. Doctor said it was a false pregnancy and performed a DNC. A few months later she is still having pregnancy symptoms. She is told it is her gallbladder and she is scheduled for surgery to remove it. Before surgery, they do blood work, and her hCG is higher than before the DNC. They tell her doctor must have missed something and send her for an ultrasound. The tech points to the screen and says, "That's your baby. " She gave birth to a healthy baby girl that survived a DNC after carrying her to term. She since has had a son. Thankfully, her 2nd pregnancy went much smoother.
Yeah well blame all the baby killers that want to call everything an "abortion" 🤷🏻 that's who you need to be going off at. Not a nurse trying to do her part to save an innocent baby. Good for her honestly. That's usually what a D&C (not DNC 😂) is for and does. It removes a baby. So it's not like her thought process was way off....but you knew that didn't you.
@oliviaavants wow! First, what are talking about? I have never heard anyone call anything other than an abortion, an abortion. 2nd, they didn't say they were there for an abortion. They said they were there for a DNC. 3ed. There is NO EXCUSE for making assumptions about a patient ever. That nurse probably should have been fired.
Just because you haven't heard it, means nothing. Miscarriages is even referred to as "spontaneous abortions." Many things are called that when it actually isn't. Consider this your intro. I wouldn't say she needed to fired for having a heart for the most vulnerable. But I'm pro life.
@oliviaavants she needed to be fired for making assumptions about her patient. She was more concerned about an imaginary baby (patient wasn't pregnant) than the real person in front of them. Again she said she was there for DNC NOT an abortion, so whether you are right or not doesn't matter. Even if it did matter, if a nurse doesn't know that there are multiple reasons why dnc's are performed, they need to go back to nursing school. A grown adult, especially one that works in a specialized field, has no one but themselves to blame for ignorance. Put yourself in the patients shoes. As someone who is obviously anti abortion, how would you feel getting "attacked" for having an abortion when you were a virgin? What if the patient had just miscarried and then was "attacked" for having an abortion. Would you still defend the nurse?
I think the grocery bag story was like fresh produce bags, the ones that come in a roll
I've heard the act you described as shrimping before but when I heard about it, it was called felching.
I aint buying anything from the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.
OMG, still laughing over "shrimping"! Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. (I would never have confessed to the EMT people and would have lied.....)
Before this, I saw a commercial for a certain lobebster place that is famous for its red letters so....now I can't even think of shrimp......
2:13 fr!? 🤢 I honestly thought the “bug in your ear” earwig story was an urban legend/myth/old wives tale kinda thing!
Me too!
A few years back my son came to me complaining of ear pain. When I checked his ear, there was a ladybug in there. Luckily it came out with some irrigation but the damn thing had died in there.
I had a moth in my ear once when I was a kid. It panicked and began trying to fly out. That was unbelievably loud.
I got a beetle stuck in my ear when I was about 9, such an awful sensation I'm still traumatised decades later. It was a smallish beetle so no it was running up and down my ear canal and it tickled and itched and I knew it was a bug and I was crying so much.
I was staying with my aunt and parents out of the country on holiday. It was a miserable hour and a half to the hospital and a much longer wait in a+e (ER). Then before I even got called in and I was just slumped feeling utterly miserable... The little beetle just strolled on out of my ear and took flight. Presumably to find a better victims ear in the waiting room.
So we packed up.our still, told reception that the problem was now resolved... Or possibly someone else's problem now 😂 then the tedious drive back to my aunt's house. All on one of those tediously hot summer days where you don't want to be doing anything 🤦🏻♀️
Happened to my sister. But now you will never sleep again, right?
I made an archery target out of an Ikea tote stuffed with old plastic backs and plastic sheeting!!
I knew when I heard about the wire there'd be an urethra story
I worked at a hospital and another medical facility years ago. I can tell you doctors and nurses will definitely talk about what's going on, nothing identifiing the patient of course but what was found on xrags, things that happen in the ER etc. Worst gossipers I've ever seen lol
That is what the shrimp gets.
"he probably tied them up to stick them up" my fuess is they he stuck a package (roll) of something like veggie bags (aka something like 5-20L bags stuck together)
2:46 so I'm using a q-tip in my ear It is coming out nasty dirty and if I use water I end up with a near infection in my ear and it's really painful so if I just use a lightly dampened q-tip it works
That nasty stuff is earwax. It's purpose is to protect your ears. It traps anything that gets in, and protects your ears from germs.
It comes out on it's own eventually, and pushes out the stuff it traps. Most people never need to clean inside their ears. You can just wipe it away as it comes out.The irrigation is only used in extreme cases, It's better than, for example, having a bug get stuck, die trying to dig it's way out, then leave it's rotting corpse INSIDE of your body. The earwax would push it out over time, but it may do irreparable damage beforehand. If you've been cleaning your ears with q-tips, the bug will hurt you worse, because you've cleaned out it's defense.
There are some devices now that are designed to safely clean your ear without water if you want to look that up.
