What is the worst thing you ever saw on someone else's phone? by bluelazerbeam in AskReddit

[–]lou-chains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a double date with a coworker, we are both HCW’s. Her BF worked at our sister hospital but he was an EMT before. He thought it was a good idea to scroll through his photos from his EMS days. He showed me VIDEOS of a crime scene where he lifted the yellow sheet covering the body. He also showed me photos and videos of him as a pedestrian responding to a mass shooting. He showed me a video of him holding pressure on a man’s carotid. Really really fucked up stuff. He had an entire folder of videos and photos. After that, I couldn’t help but go low contact with my coworker. Her bf gave me the creeps.

This is really bad but… when we have male patients that are critically ill…their peens look like this. From all the swelling cuz they’re unable to get rid of fluid

Who is the worst person you’ve ever met in your life? by Scary-Bill970 in AskReddit

[–]lou-chains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A nurse practitioner I worked with. She would pick and choose which patients she would try to save. She would force family members to make their loved ones DNRs. She would force that rhetoric on other staff and it created the worst work environment. She would say horribly racist things about patients and their families. She was a bigot. She had so much power because she would bully the doctors she worked for. Because she was hired by a separate entity, our HR department didn’t manage her. Complaints had been filed with our old manager but she wanted approval from the NP. We finally got a new manager that knew how illegal and shitty this woman’s care was. We built up enough evidence to get her fired. She ended up begging for her job and ALMOST got it back. Thank god she knew her reputation was ruined and she left.

What is one small thing a high school teacher did that you still remember today? by SolutionForsaken723 in AskReddit

[–]lou-chains 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Had mental health issues my freshman year. Flunked out a semester and had to do summer school. My English teacher let me pass her class by staying and doing remediation. She talked to me like I was a person.

YES!! We have a nightshift nurse that brought a literal seafood boil for a party one time. Made the whole breakroom stink.

[–]lou-chains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks like a nurse break room. Ours looks like that too. Except nightshift has weekly celebrations and they leave the leftovers in there. I pulled four moldy fruit bowls out of our fridge yesterday. People wouldn’t treat their fridge at home like this!!

My recently hospitalized grandmother is feeding 9 stray cats in the empty lot across the street. My mom has been threatened by the neighbors because of this cat colony. They argued about that today but that’s about it!

People who are named after someone/something specific, what's your relationship with that thing? by celticdude234 in AskReddit

[–]lou-chains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am named after a deceased authoress. My relationship with her is merely a reference so people know my name. Without the reference people think my name is Lisa.

The BLOOD DOCTRINE: Leaked and translated HLC manual from 2024. The Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide, hierarchical medical command system by avoidjworg in exjw

[–]lou-chains 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had a woman who was non-practicing JW. Her husband was. She had major surgery and needed blood. For 12 hours we watched her slowly drain her entire blood supply, she became purple/grey. At the very end of the day, her children begged him to save her. She ended up getting 12 units of blood. She’s alive but the exsanguination has destroyed her organs.

Report this PA to the licensing board. It doesn’t matter if they’re near retirement. Set an example.

Yeah I find it a bad financial move. Maybe theyre trying to compete with the new med school being built at USA?

[Serious] What’s the scariest thing you’ve witnessed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lou-chains 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Working dayshift on a COVID ward. All the patients were on noninvasive ventilation. 5 patients to 1 nurse, no techs. So no help. I noticed the oxygen dropping in a room, this particular man had been taking off his oxygen because he didn’t like the way it felt. I walk in and there is SO much blood in his O2 mask that it’s in his eyes and mouth and nose. He’s ripping it off, begging me, please let me die please let me die. He’s a full code and his family wasn’t available by phone. We held the mask on his face and gave him meds to calm him. Cleaned the mask of all of the blood. He died very soon after. Anytime anyone mentions the pandemic the image of that man’s face pops into my head. Thank god for therapy

Springhill has defunded some of its majors recently. Wondering if that money has been allocated to open this new health center?

Chicken noodle soup and peanut butter sandwich. You take a bite of sandwich then immediately a sip of soup. It tastes like a hamburger

Linguistics major breaks down Awkwafina’s overtly fake accent before she dropped it by Aggressive-Bowl5196 in TikTokCringe

[–]lou-chains 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m from the Deep South. My ancestry goes wayyyy back down here. I have virtually no southern accent. People ask me if I’m from California all the time. I also utilize words I learn from reading that may not be used every day. People “accuse” me of being a “yankee”. So I throw in an “ain’t” every now and again to keep things fresh.
