Musings of a Nurse (my work life)

Won't they just reshare it?

That’s what I’m thinking.

Gross. Wanted you to justify the choice to easier their conscience lol

Patient came back for retreatment as suspected, saying the female partner wasn’t interested in getting herself checked out or treated, which is crazy as it can lead to worse problems for her if not treated. I think this time he had a lightbulb moment, thankfully. Maybe having his 3-ish year old daughter with him at the doctor’s visit helped turn the light on.

Had one guy once who couldn’t understand why STI testing wasn’t routine testing like a CBC or basic/complete metabolic profile.

Thinking of you Dr. Shades with this one. I am fighting back the urge for a grammar/spelling lesson on MS Teams. It's killing me, man. Don't do it, Msnobody. They will call you a smart _ss.

medication regiment versus a medication regimen (picturing all these little pills marching in perfect order)

urinary track infection versus a urinary tract infection (picturing all the little bacteria in their stock cars racing around the urinary track)

No wonder I have a headache. Who knows, maybe I am spelling things incorrectly too. And these peeps with much higher level educational degrees than myself.

Is there a DSM-V diagnosis code for this thing we suffer from, Shades? What would it be called?
