If I don’t get it back, no biggie, because my nice pens are still safe :) (I have yet to come up with an equivalent idea to protect my stethoscope… for now I just stalk/watch like a hawk/hunt down the docs who borrow mine because they forgot theirs…)

I heard a patient’s family member say something similar to a nurse (You have ONLY two patients…) when I rotated through the ICU. The nurse said she only bit her tongue because I was a student. I had to bite my tongue as well, because not only was this person insulting all the ICU nurses and trying to ‘teach’ ME to not be like those nurses in my career, they were also complaining about the thread count of the hospital bed sheets…
