I need a mask...I passed also!

So, as stated in a previous blog, I wanted to post some things related to what I (Kim) do and maybe they can help those in blogger land. Well, the point of this post is that laughter is the best medicine! This is one of the funnier stories I have had recently working as an ER nurse. I am sure your minds can run WILD as to the funny things I see on a daily basis. I won't get TOO graphic, but I will share this story.
The other day I was working and it was an extremely busy day! These kind of days can sometimes be trying, but this made it all worth it. I had an elderly lady who came in from the nursing home and nobody there knew what was wrong with her (we're the ER, we are supposed to figure these things out ya know!!!!). Anyway, they thought she had a fever so we HAD to check to make sure we while we were doing so, she tooted SO loud and SO long! The other person helping me just died laughing, of course did too (I am SOOOO professional). She hadn't realized what she had done, which was probably better. But it defintely made us laugh, helping get through the day just a little bit better.
There ya have it Robin! ENJOY!
P.S.
I thought I would let you all know in blogger world that
I PASSED MY FIRST PHARMACOLOGY TEST WITH A B!! WOO HOO! THanks for the prayers!

Thanks for the story! And congratulations on your test! Yeah!!!!

I always have to laugh when I go over to the side of our facility where they do colonoscopies and EGDs because all the patients are encouraged to "release" their gas after procedures. But I notice that the patients are not the only ones who are not shy, the staff wants to make sure the patients aren't embarrassed by doing it themselves! Ah, bodily functions. . .
