One of the nurses who works here at Karmanos Hospital had to work last Labor Day. So, since it was a holiday, she decided to bring in a picnic lunch for her floor workers.
She had hot dogs and potato salad and planned to mix up lemon aide. Unfortunately, she forgot a pitcher. So, when she went looking for something to mix up the lemon aide in, she found pitcher in the supply room.
Now, while the pitcher was perfect for the lemon aide, it just happened to be the pitcher that they used for storing urine samples in. And, even though everyone knew that the pitcher was clean and sanitary, they just couldn’t bring themselves to drink the lemon aide.
I wonder if the lemon aide got dumped or sent to the lab?
When Ted and I went to visit my uncle in the hospital, that had a self serve coffee area. The pot was empty so my cousin’s new husband, Tom and Ted went to fill up the coffe pot with water and make more coffee. As there were walking down the hall toward the restroom, a nurse stopped them and said, “Hey, where are you going with that.” Ted thought what a stupid question so he said, “To get a urine sample.” After we left, Tom told my cousin’s family what Ted had said and they all had a good laugh over it.
