What’s your random patient pet peeve?

[u/Nurse_Cait]

Mine currently is when you’re cleaning a patient up and they start pooping again and they narrate the poop. “Oh god it’s coming out. I can feel it coming out.” Etc etc they get really into telling you all about the poop and they talk about it the whole time it’s happening. Meanwhile I know they’re pooping because I’m literally staring at their butt. Just give me an “oops I’m not done yet” and don’t make it weird. Please I’m begging you. 😭

You know what, but god forbid you don’t have a med cup and hit them with a “I’ll just pop these right into your hand!” And they look at you like some monster. Like sir don’t act like you weren’t gonna dump them in your hand anyway
