HIPAA DISCLAIMER

HIPAA DISCLAIMER

Writings in this space are purely fictional and have no resemblance to real patients or their families.There is no hospital such as the one talked about, it's a combination off all the hospitals I've worked in. The scenarios described are all made up from TV shows like House and Dr. Gee. Most of the scenarios described are are from dreams that I had the night before and then embellished upon. If you think that you know me, you probably don't because I'm not a real nurse, I only play one in the schizophrenic delusions that I'm being medicated for. I don't work in a hospital and never have, regardless of what else it says on this blog full of bald-faced lies.

Bush Gardens


At my facility we lovingly refer to the female rooms as Bush Gardens. Once in a blue moon yours truly is placed there for a shift, really not that bad of a deal since it has its own female tech who loves to do all the pelvic exams and caths. The annoying part of it is dealing all day long with the bull crap drama.

She c/o vag itching x 1 week and had not used any OTC meds, claiming only Diflucan will help. I gave her a pee cup for the clean catch and waited for the PA to see her. In my facility we have this great process called QMP, meaning if the patient is not deemed a medical emergency, they need to decide if they want to stay and be treated after forking over the co-pay, or they can opt to leave. Well, Ms. Drippy creates a scene about how she is from XXX state up north where she has Medicaid. However, she had no card to prove it. But, what a shock! Ms. Drippy had no money to pay for the visit, either.

As she was escorted out by security after refusing to leave, she's yelling down the hall, "You bitch, you took my urine!!"
