Patients Say the Darndest Things

I've decided to start a new "feature" to my blog... Whenever I hear something I find funny said by a patient, I will add a short blurb so you can share my humor. Hehe.

During my last shift, I helped take care of a white female who had just had major surgery. She was still groggy from the pain meds and anesthesia, but she still had enough cognitive functioning to crack a joke. While we were performing the skin assessment we have to do on any patient, she said,

"I wish I could have warned all my nurses to bring sunglassess to protect their eyes when they have to look at my white butt."
