Trust me, a lot of blood can come out of your hand, especially when you are drunk and have been messing around with broken glass. Ask anyone who has been drunk and inside of an old building. Or as in my case, dropped their beer and attempted to pick it back up.
You know morgues are often located in the strangest of places, I am familiar with a hospital in my area in which the morgue is right at the end of a short hall from the main cafeteria...and this is a well used cafeteria which is always lively and bustling. I often look down that hall while I'm in there and wonder if people could finish their lunches if they knew what lurked just beyond that stainless steel door.
Lynne, you know what I hate the most about the way people think when it comes to these facilities? Patients (not as often) and their families (very often) who complain about the "service" in hospitals...a nurses duties do not include making sure that your coffee is not decaf, fetching you the morning paper, or looking up numbers for you to call. "Service" is something you get at a hotel, or a garage, not a hospital. A nurses job is VERY important, and in the time it takes a nurse to fetch your paper, or neatly arrange your personal artifacts, the person next door could be in life-threatening danger from any number of possible incidents. Here are just a few which are common in all hospitals: stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, fall, anaphylaxis (acute allergic reaction), choking, panic attacks, aneurysm, dangerous drug interactions, and the like. Nurses have a lot more than just one person to look out for on any given night, it just irks me to think of people being so self-centered that things like this happen. What are a nurses duties? How about making sure you don't die, or become profoundly disabled from something as simple as laying on your arm for too long as in the case with some operating room clients. All nurses take care to make sure that the little things are done for people, but people must realize that they are not in a hotel, they are not at wal-mart, and they are in a fast-food chain, in the hospital the customer is not always right. Forgive me if I sound stern, but it just seems like people want to be first in line, all the time, no matter what, with no consideration for the well being of others.
And as far as comments about lazy fat-assed nurses, I know there are plenty of fat-ass nurses out there, but they do more in a day than most people do in a week. Nursing is not a cake job by ANY means, and to disrespect those who are trying to care for you is just wrong. Anyone with a shred of decency should be able to see this.
you know, of all the walkers I have ever seen, they each had an owner who was not too far behind or near it. Which makes me wonder, what the hell happened to this guy?
Had to post on this again, you know, this pic is very striking and so far the only one on this site which has actually managed to make me uncomfortable...on the other hand, the fact that the rabbit character has four ears is hilarious. Think about it, if you were drawing a picture of a rabbit on a wall, you would of course include two large ears up top, but, somewhere during the process of drawing this rabbit, you lost track of just exactly what is was that you were doing..in this momentary lapse of awareness, you may have inadvertently drawn a pair of ears on the sides of the rabbits face. Of course even after you finished you didn't realize that it was wrong, after all, where are your ears?
