Its alll relative

I called a family member who suffers from Alz/dem and asked "Did you see the snow?? Its almost Christmas" She handed the phone off to someone else saying "Here, I dont know what the hell she is saying"

I couldnt help but laugh. I dont understand myself half of the time...nice to know family doesnt either.

I'll admit it.

I'm cheap and lazy. There, I said it. I was too cheap to pay to have pockets on my scrubs. I was too cheap to buy new pants so I engineered a new waistband. My computer has been out of commission for a while due to my laziness of buying a cord and too cheap to pay full price. I apologize.

There are days when I wonder......

WTF. Its a day from hell when even the house supervisor walks in and says "What the hell has happened here???!??" and all you can say is "Ive wondered the same myself"

Other days I can be found mumbling obscenities under my breath.

More good times.

Suicidal? Realllly?

I find the dx of someone being suicidal hard to believe when they look at you at scream "Im gonna break your f'ng neck" or the ever famous "Im gonna kick yer ass". No, they weren't talking to themselves-it was aimed at me.

I would venture to say not suicidal.....homicidal.

Good times, I tell ya. Good times.

Selective Hearing Syndrome

Why isnt this an official diagnosis? If I ask a person to do something, I would like it done. I dont talk to the direction of the bed for any reason. I'm directing my voice towards the person. It ends in a blank stare or a death look in my direction.

(Example: "Please put your feet in the bed" or "Roll over so you dont fall" )

Ahhh but when I say "Breakfast is here" they perk the hell up and say "Is it pancake day???"

Kindergarten and Psych wards are quite similar

Both have people who like to color pictures of princesses and play games, both have people who say "Wanna see my poop" and "I made a tinkle/ I have to wee wee", they both have the people who like to hit/pinch/swear and lastly both make a person want to run and hide.

At least I can put kindergartners in time out to think about their behavior.

Get me out of here!

When a pt says "I need to get the hell out of here" and all you can respond with is "You and me both buddy" it is time to go home. My thoughts exactly bucko.
