I was just reading a post about someone accidently putting a suppository into their vagina, and it reminded me of one of the nurses here at rehab.

I use fleet enemas and they use to be administered while I was sitting on the big reclining commode/shower chair. Well apparently it was too difficult to "find the right spot" for some of the nurses while I was sitting in that chair at an angle, so now after putting the sling under me and getting everything set up for a quick transfer it is administered while I am still in bed.

You wouldn't think that it would be as "difficult" to "find the right hole" when I'm laying on my side, but one of the nurses still managed to put most of the fleet in the wrong one while I was laying on my side and she was standing directly behind me!

Has anyone ever had this happen before? It seems very strange to me that this could happen when everything is in clear view like that... Posted Image

Geez did they start hiring their nurses at the school for the blind or are they doing it in the dark? :seehearspeak:

Just a bit of nursing humor. It was likely told and retold in the break room. You know those nurses,,, they love a good story.

Next time you may to draw them a road map of the female anatomy with high lighted labels.


I've always been warned to clearly mark a body part if you are to have surgery. Doctors have been know to remove or repair the wrong part.

Geez,
You reminded Me^ of an older aide I had in the early 90s.
While explaining bowel care to her one day, she started lol. I asked what's so funny? And she told Me^ that she did that to her daughter who wasn't even paralyzed. Her daughter brought it to her attention by saying "MOM What are you doing?" loudly!!!

How she thought it was funny was beyond Me!

I'd be flipping out if I was a female and that happened!
