Subject: Re: Door open Author: Lorraine [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 08:06: am In reply to: Dave 's message, "Door open" on Wednesday, January 02, 2013, 07:02: pm ER cubicles offer no privacy for the most part, especially the one's that only have a sheet to divide one bed from another. Newer ERs offer more privacy with walls but still use a curtain for access. I was at an ER several years ago with stomach pain and adjacent to me was a woman complaining of migrains and on the other side was a woman also complaining of stomach distress. The directions were always the same,namely, undress gown opens in the back. The female nurse was nice but it's hard to relax in a strange place with doctors and nurses you don't know. After a few minutes, my vitals were taken as were those on the woman with migrains. The other gal already was being examined. When I the nurse got out the digital thermometer, she instructed me to turn over, I blushed and also heard the other gal with the migrains receive the same instructions. In the next cubicle, a doctor was giving his patient a rectal exam and she was not very pleased. Soon a doctor came into my cubicle and the exam was done which also included a DRE followed up with an x-ray. At various points, I am sure anyone could see my anatomy being exposed. The gal with the migrains received a shot in her butt, which she seemed to anticipate but gasped nevertheless. It was determined that I had a stomach bug and given some oral meds. I don't know what the other gal had done as she was gone by the time I returned. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

As I walked past the second door it was cracked open and I could see this good looking guy I had seen in the waiting room bent over the bed, his pants and underwear pulled down and I watched as the nurse gave him a large injection in his white butt. He stood up rubbing his butt. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I have never had the opportunity of seeing anyone get an injection in the hospital. However, years ago I was lucky enough to accidentally making my girlfriends daughter get a shot when we were at an ER in Jersey. That was a once in a lifetime thing and Im sure Ill never be part of anything like that again.....too bad.....lol I've posted the story of Tiffany in the past so Im sure most people have read it...If I was to witness a female getting a shot in the hospital, I'm sure I'd have to watch - even though it's a private type of thing.....Tim [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Door open Author: Nurse [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 05:12: pm Tim you would be surprised how often it does happen especially in the ER. People come into rooms to stock, doctors leave while a patient is getting the needle in their bare butt, someone yells out and staff opens door to see what is going on as someone walks by etc. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Its just been chance that I have never witnessed it. I guess when you do this for a living 24/7 you get desensitized to simple things like shots, etc. And like I said earlier, its always the nurses that get to do the honors. I give them credit. I don't think I could deal with watching people scream even if it's for their own good.I could however, watch, as long as I wasn't the one causing the pain. I had a nurse try and take blood from me a second time in 6 hours and I told her sorry, use last nights blood. The bank is closed....lol She abruptly left and I never saw her again. I learned along time ago that you must take control of what happens regardless of whether a doctor ordered something or not......I had 5 spine surgeries and I controlled what happened 100%. So when I decided to leave, I got up and checked out.....All is well albeit a few shocked nurses...lolol [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
