Do you smoke?

When i was working in the emergency room as a new nurse, i got to see and learn lots of new things....


This one particular day comes to mind....


There was a lady who had come in, late 30s, early 40s, not particularly attractive, not exactly in shape, AA, she had short curly hair and she wore these thick glasses (the ones that are so thick they make your eyes look tiny).... Anyway, i was told she had come in for lets say leg pain or something bogus, but when i came into the room, the story was totally different.....


As a nurses we do a basic assessment, always asking, what brought the patient in, pain scale, whether they drink, smoke or did drugs ("recreational drugs" is what i called them, other people called them "street drugs").


This young lady, told me she had come in because she couldnt feel it when her mate was 'going down on her'. Now firstly, i was thinking how the hell is anybody going down on her? Without reservation, i continued:


Nurse: "Do you Smoke?"
Patient: "Yes, oh and i smoke crack sometimes"
Nurse: "Ooook, Do you Drink?"
Patient: "ooooo nooooo, never touch the stuff, mmm mmmm (while shaking head), no"


Wtf? - so apparently its ok to smoke (crack mind you) but never ever drink because it can ruin your liver! LOL....people....


Until next time,
Stay alive and kicking....
