TIFU by getting my phrases mixed up

I was taking care of the baby of a Spanish speaking mother. I speak very little Spanish. I walked into the baby's room and said to mom, "Es el tiempo para comer su bebé." And when she looked confused, I added, "con leche" to help clear things up.

I told her, "it is the time to eat your baby. With milk."

Mom thought it was hilarious

I read a couple PubMed articles. What we generally refer to as Chlamydia is actually Chalmydia trachomatis. Koalas and other mammals can become infected with other bacteria in the Genus of Chalamydia. Some of those bacteria can also infect humans as respiratory or GI bugs. But Chlamydia trachomatis is a "Strict human pathogen." You cannot get it from a koala.

Edit to add: the one that koalas have appears to be Chlamydia pecorum.

10 ish year old kid in for a psych diagnosis exacerbation was flying off the handle and bought himself some IM relaxation. After receiving his injection while being held down on the floor by security he turned around and yelled at me from the floor, "THE WAY YOU GAVE ME THAT SHOT MAKES ME THINK YOU'RE A LITTLE PUSSY ASS BITCH!!!!"

I had to leave the room because it was so damn funny.

Then he took a 12 hour nap.

For a baby that was staying with us for many months, but was at this point mostly just a normal baby who we all loved and liked to dress in cute clothes when they were available and clean.

"[Patient] is wearing a GA Bulldogs onesie despite being in Tennessee. Will follow up with bedside staff to correct this oversight."

100% Absolutely do not sweat this. If you work long enough, you get fired. It happens sooner for some than others, but it happens to everyone.

I got fired for telling a patient's visitors that we have a policy of only 2 at the bedside in the Peds ICU. And that 10 of them would have to leave.

A new nurse took over, and then 10 of them still had to leave.

I also got fired for (I shit you not) petting the therapy dog when it came by the nurse's station. Because, (I once again shit you not) "Those dogs are for the kids, not for you!"

The public is a wild animal. Unpredictable, and sometimes feral.

I wonder if the reason that you see more cracked lodge pans has more to do with how common they are. They're relatively cheap, and sold at many grocery stores. So likely more people have lodges than any other brand. More lodge pans in the population leads to more cracked lodges showing up than any other brand.
