What was the most humorous situation you've been in while at work


January 7th, 2023

I'll just call this topic, "All in a day's work". 2nd year in nursing. Mr X had been withdrawing from alcohol abuse. Consequently, a spit of psychosis. He was parading butt naked on a food trolley. We where 6 nurses pinning him down, so he could get injected. Same day, his brother was admitted, a real gentleman, but heavily intoxicated. Oh and pink. Someone decided to bath him in mercurochrome. 1800, a hysterical assistant nurse, because someone locked the door of the mortuary behind her, for 15 min. I hope someone had the some smiles in reading this, because I'm sure you can understand remember some of those days too
