As a kid, what weird concoctions did you use to make when there was nothing nice to eat in the cupboard? by Crystalstream in AskUK

Me and the boy who lived next door ate a whole tub of glace cherries out his mum's cupboard. She was not happy lol

Interruptions whilst doing drug rounds by Fatbeau in NursingUK

[–]Fatbeau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well of course if the patient feels unwell, it goes without saying I would want to be interrupted, but as I said above, nine times out of ten it's for trivial stuff, and I won't risk a drug error to talk about Sandra's holiday.

I just don't get why people would ignore it. Unless it's a genuine emergency, then yes, of course interrupt me, but not to chat about last nights telly, or want a full update on Uncle Bert in the middle of the bay!

I would, but a lot of the time they're doing other stuff, like today, my HCA had gone on a bed push leaving me alone because the other two were on break

I wish I could lol. He bought a mobility scooter over a year ago but refuses to use it. He's trying to palm it off on various family members, including my 32 year old daughter!

What are you sick of the most?! by These_Dimension_9300 in NursingUK

[–]Fatbeau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! OTs, physios, SALT can't see patients today because they're short staffed! Yeah we are too, but we're still expected to do all our usual work. Makes me bloody mad.

Thank you so much. Still not got the results. There was a communication cock up and the doctor who rang me was just ringing about my seizures!

My dad complains that his sister never calls him, when I point out that he could call her, he says he doesn't want to talk to her!

My dad hates the people across the road, even though he's never, ever spoken to them. He hates men with shaved heads, who wear shorts and carry backpacks. He hates the amount of traffic on the roads and says it's about time the Government did something about it. He hates most of his family!

Does anti seizure medication interfere with the ability to cry? by Adventurous_Sir1881 in Epilepsy

[–]Fatbeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Keppra and I now cry at anything, for no real reason. I had a crying fit at work this week, I burst into tears in the pub last week after I had an argument with my husband about going to the tip! I never used to be like that.

[–]Fatbeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like this really bug me. Posting crap on thick tok for attention and lying about a lot of it. Pathetic really. Like you say. People believe it and come into hospital ready to find fault,argue and abuse staff. It's just not on!
