Lively Case Discussion #573 1/13 - 1/14/2007

Heh, heh, lady doctor, that's cute. How'd the prostate check go?

Actually, we have smaller hands.  I could tell you some funny stories.

I was seeing this older Italian male patient in the ER when he grabbed for my breast.  I stepped back from the bed and as I did I accidentally stepped on his IV line yanking the IV out of his arm.  Serves him right!

Oh, so heartless for a poor man in pain.

[Carnut]

I had a test about 9yrs or so ago where they needed to stick one of those gadgets way down my throat and look around. Was done under general anesthesia and one of the neater things that I remember was the little nurse doing an extra good job of covering my torso and arms up and tucking me quite tightly. Guess they didn't want me to be flailing around accidentally or something. Fortunately the test found nothing wrong.

Yeh, yeh,

One time I had a patient in the ICU who had a stroke and was unconscious for several days.  I swear, this man could put John Holmes to shame.  The first thing he did when he regained conscious was to reach down and make sure his prize possession was still there.  I happened to be there at the time, mumbled some excuse, and went out the ICU door.  I was laughing so much I had tears in my eyes.

Sure that wasn't a strait jacket they were fitting you for, Carnut?   J/K!

[crazybabyborg]

Whose John Holmes?

Morning/ or Afternoon, Monkeys!

Hummm, not sure which it more notable, you checking him out, or you knowing who John Holmes was.

It definitely had a resemblence.

But there was such a warm reassurance in the process, never had anything quite like that in a medical situation before.

That's better, obviously not a lady of the world.

Well, since no one answered me, I looked it up and forund this:

John Holmes (actor) (1944–1988), pornographic film star.
John Holmes (British diplomat)
John Holmes (composer) (d. 1629), an English composer who lived during the Renaissance.
John Holmes (Canadian senator) (1789–1876), a Canadian Senator.

Now, let me guess............hmmmmmm

LOL.  I had to do a physical exam on him on admission, so was forced to look.  As far as JH, I didn't live in a vacuum.  There has been a movie made about his life story.

Ive had a few medical procedures done, and cannot remember  ever being that restrained, unless they did it after they knocked me out.

Hmmmm, how did you know who JH is?  You're busted too!!!!

From a nurse who worked in surgery (and lots of other areas...), it is done when you are put to sleep.....your arms and legs are tucked just like Carnut said....this protects you....and helps cushion you....  
Rarely will someone restrain you while you are awake....that is an uncomfortable feeling for most people.

[justinsmama]

Sunfreak how are you feeling, Better I hope!

[justinsmama]

Mother's surgeon is a very attractive man with a nice bedside manner. If only I were 15 years younger.  

[Carnut]

Yeah, I know.

I'm also one of those old folks who think all medical personnel are 'living saints'.

I cannot comprehend how they can have such feelings for their fellow humans, but I am so grateful for it.

Not exactly, I once had a lady bring out the handcuffs, and was almost to the door before she convinced me to come back.
