News From the Nursery Lab 2009-2

The good news: We had a set of triplets AND a set of twins born yesterday - all babies were doing pretty well when I left work.

The funny news: Sometimes words just don't come out right.

A nurse had just inserted an IV catheter in a baby's foot to try to get a venous blood draw. The nurse who was assisting her had to leave the room for a bit to grab a needed item.

When she returned, she apologized to the nurse holding the catheter.

She then asked the other nurse the following question:

"Would you like me to hold that so you can suck?"

I couldn't help it, having a mind which is not too far removed from the gutter at all times. I just cracked up. After a moment, they did, too.

oh, and that comment was a classic - I'm famous for innocently dropping such bombs, and blinking in curiosity when everyone else falls out laughing... A sense of humour is a necessity in this life, though, eh?
