1. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in a hospital (besides your illness)? Not enough towels? No condiments? Can't get your favorite channels? Come on, you can tell me. **Or....maybe this answer doesn't involve you being the patient.**
i worked in a hospital in the kitchen as a cook, and my daughter was a candy striper. my ex husbands father was upstairs and dying, and after i clocked out, we rode one of the service elevators up to visit him. i had TERRIBLE gas and had to fart and darned if the elevator didn't stop at the next floor where two nurses with a bed got on. my daughter came to stand next to me, and turned to me and said "oh mom". i pretended not to know what she meant and said "what?"
one nurse pushed the floor button and the other came to stand NEXT TO ME (!!) and immediately said "whew what is that" and went back t stand by her friend at the elevator buttons. her friend said "whats wrong" and of course she had to tell her about the awful smell from our side of the elevator....they both looked at me, and i said "that was on here when we got on downstairs"
the nurse that had fled from my side said "yeah right, that smells like something we've smelled that in some of the patients rooms"
darned if the didn't get off on the same floor we were going to, and low and behold, there was some girls from housekeeping right at the doors. the nurse that fled from my side said "oh great! you guys need to spray some powerful air freshener on here before the door closes". on of the housekeeping girls said "why, whats wrong" as she stuck her head in the elevator whe immediately retreated and said "oh my god, what IS that?", put a wet floor sign in the door to keep it from closing and grabbed the odor neutralizer
i said "i don't know, but it sure is bad" as my daughter and i escaped down the hallway to see my ex-father in law
i was so embarassed

4. Do you have any hospital phobias? no. i've been in to have my kids, have had open-heart surgery, had my gall-bladder removed, and i have to say that i had WONDERFUL nurses-the care was phenomenal-i would recommend that hospital to anyone
5. Imagine you are in bed trying to get some sleep after a long night of interruptions by the nurse on duty who would NOT stop waking you up to see if you were asleep...It is 3am. You finally get to sleep. She comes in at 3:15 and wakes you up again. What happens next? i'd ask her if im NOT supposed to get any sleep? if i'm not, i'd try to stay awake. i'd let her know that she keeps disturbing me. biatch.
6. You are stuck in the elevator with an attractive person of the opposite sex. You notice there is no wedding band. Do you strike up a conversation? If so, what is the first thing you would say? probable just something about the weather or the elevator ride
7. A very odd patient wanders into your room from the upstairs psychiatric ward. What do you do? tell my son to get back in the bed and go to sleep.
Oh shoot. The fart story just slayed me! How embarrassing AND bless your heart. LOL!
Have a great week.
