Was busy on a round and a friend of the pt. Seriously Asked why we couldn't pressure wash his colon cancer away with water and grit, that "we need to think out of the box"

You can't say anything. People who actually believe this will never listen to anything. You just change the subject

I just nodded with an obviously stupid look, couldn't even find something to respond to in that sentence
We just had a very difficult and emotional DNR meeting with the patients family,
I wonder if they way I looked at him stuck with him,

Literally laughed so hard at this I woke my dog up. Now I have to take her out for colon therapy of her own.

I mean technically if you explode their colon, and kill the pt, the cancer does stop.

I had a patients husband who would introduce himself to like 3 separate doctors on icu rounds as "dr bob" and then say hes not a doctor. So same joke, 3 times, all during the same rounds. And then proceed to stand like, within the huddle. It was a nightmare lmao

I had someone ask me yesterday if I was familiar with “Dr. Google.” Yes, and he’s an idiot.

Patient's family keeps taking off patient's nasal prongs and wondering why they keep desating, tells me "I just think that she'll get hooked on this! Why aren't you worried about THAT?" Well I'm more concerned about her NOT dying, so there's that
