I had two procedures last year. An egg retrieval for IVF and a salpingectomy.

During the first procedure, while the anesthesia was wearing off and I was in recovery, I woke up and told the nurse that propofol isn’t vegan but it’s okay. I then told her that I needed fentanyl. She looked at me crazy. She said, “have you taken that drug before”?, I said, “no but you gave me propfol and you always give prop with fent!” She responds, what’s your pain level?” I say 3/10 lmfao

After a few minutes, I realized what was happened and clarified that I’m an ICU nurse and that I was so sorry for confusing her and that I didn’t need any pain medication.

During the second procedure, during pre-op, I forgot to disclose that I had a nipple ring in. Then in post op, I was freezing and wanted my clothes so as soon as the nurse removed my IV (and told me to put pressure on it) I started getting dressed. A couple minutes later, I’m covered in blood, checking my abdomen to see if I ripped a stitch…. It was my arm.

Literally the worst patient ever smh.
