What size scalpel? Medium, I guess. I was rolling on the floor with that one 😂
This is like people who jokingly object at weddings or say "I Don't! hahaha jk", not realizing in some churches or some countries they are required to stop the ceremony if that happens and now the couple won't be getting married that day.
Soon to be a tiktok challenge
Seriously, consent shouldn’t be treated like a joke, because it isn’t one. Glad some places enforce consent even when the participants don’t.
At my last colonoscopy appointment we were doing the pre-procedure safety check and the nurse did a walk by "So you're here for a top? (Endoscopy)" and being miserable from the prep I kind of nodded and gave the "mmhm" response before coming to my senses and saying "WAIT NO wrong hole, its the other one!" and she had to walk back over to view my papers, we had a good laugh about it but mistakes can happen! Don't be afraid to speak out if stuff isn't adding up, ask questions!
Having been through A LOT of colonoscopies and EGDs, the safety check is the only part of the process that Ixm approach with a serious attitude.
OK. I have a story to tell on myself.
I am the kind of guy who jokes always, including with hospital staff and doctors. However, I don't joke during the name/birthday/reason stuff. I just never do. It seems inappropriate. And besides, there is so much room elsewhere for humor when it is really appreciated and mutually enjoyable.
I had a colonoscopy this morning. For the first time in my life, I (rather spontaneously, with no planning at all) said, "knee replacement." And then I immediately gasped and said out loud, "Oh my God, why did I say that?!" I apologized sincerely to the nurse and corrected it to "colonoscopy." I told her that I was rather ashamed of myself, that I would not normally do something like that, and that a few days earlier I had seen a video by a doctor complaining about this very thing.
I truly don't know what got into me.
In return for my apology, she told me several stories of jerky patients. She seemed to think I had redeemed myself. 😃
Unintentional lying is actually a pretty common phenomenon and it’s basically your brain having an auto-incorrect moment. It’s most commonly seen people who have autism or some other neurodivergent condition.
@@peggedyourdad9560 And that fits in my case. Very interesting.
@@Queezbo Welp, good to know that tracks.
Your brain went: “Wait I know what to say! I just saw a video about this!” 😂
@@DeathnoteBB No! The video came AFTER. That's what makes it freaky. ;)
I have long been aware of an old phrase
“Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it”
But I’m not sure I ever imagined it playing out quite like this 😅
Homie gave him a rotationplasty instead of a colonoscopy 😂
My favorite part: That's not even Lincoln's birthday 0:17
We had our accreditation survey come to our psychiatric ward
One of our (old type...kinda burnt out) Nurses was giving a PRN to one of our frequent flyer patients
So it was a "hey Dave...here's your cogentin....how's your Mom doing?" thing
And the Survey team dropped on him like a ton of bricks
"What were your two patient identifiers?"
Our Nurse looks at our patient (who he's probably known for a decade)
Thinks for a second...and replies
"Ummmm.....He's ugly and he smells bad?"
(Causing our patient to roll his eyes and walk away laughing...then again, maybe he was already rolling his eyes....because...well....cogentin)
Needless to say...that issue came up at the debrief
I think "personally known to me" counts as at least one.
Serves him right.
I try to convince them as many abdominal surgeries & proceedures I have had i am up to a free tummy tuck
Could be worse - he could've said organ donation 😂
Or castration. 😳
Yep. I will only sass you while doing a safety check if you aren't listening to me. Namely a nurse asking me when my last period was when I had just told her I'd had a hysterectomy a couple weeks prior. I replied "Hysterectomy" while giving her a "are you freaking kidding me?" look. Then she replied "That doesn't matter, I need to know if you might be pregnant". At which point I cracked a joke because I was fed up. And she got annoyed at me for not taking things seriously, and then more annoyed when I said "And you're the one who asked me if I might be pregnant after I told you two times that I just had a hysterectomy". And then she completely, and painfully, failed to place an IV in me.
Ok to be fair. When I'm just reading the questions on the checklist, the hysterectomy bit takes a bit to kick in before I get super embarrassed.
In my defence, I'm a guy and know very little about the female body ......
@@PainRack this was for an infusion not surgery, but she was just not listening to me. I get more IVs in a year than the average person gets in their life, I asked for my preferred site in medical terminology, as in "Anything but the AC", pointed out spots people generally have success, and she still took it upon herself to "educate" me that the elbow is the most ouchy spot. Ouchy. I was in my mid 20s.
I'm also a guy, and there's no excuse for a nurse to not understand the anatomy of roughly half the planet. I didn't get proper sex ed in school, but thankfully UA-cam exists.
I would definitely be talking to her charge nurse and possibly patient advocate if this was at a hospital
@@waffles3629 She asked you when you last had your period... and oyu are a guy?
She doesn't need hearing aids, she needs glasses. And hearing aids.
Or, yknow, Ockham's razor.
Or when they asked you when your last period was and you are 69.
Patient did this during the assessment on delirium....
Dr said he's very sure the patient was joking.... And the pt refused to concede the joke....
I mean, I was like we can just poke and do the blood test for basic delirium workup anyway :)
Seriously though. Had a patient said he forgot what the risks was for surgery so had to get the surgeon in to re educate (elderly patient n not medically literate ).
My best was when a Bangladesh worker had to undergo knee surgery, I told the team that pt didn't understand English and the consultant rebutted me by going see, he's nodding his head to my words, he's understand English right (nod nod nod).
Cue the consent, junior doc grabbed me for witness AFTER he had explained the surgery, I asked brother , know what surgery you going to? Your English not good enough to understand what risks right.
He shook his head and then nodded again.
Technically it was my job to get the translator and it's a bitch coordinating the translator and the doctor to get consent. No longer my problem though :):):):):):):)
I hope you know nodding doesn't mean the same thing in Bangladesh as it means Europe (or was that the point of your story)?
@@matthijsmelissen2469 I didn't know that? Pray enlighten me.
All I do know is that he didn't understand English well enough to understand what was going on and was just nodding his head until I actually asked him outright whether he knew English and the risks of said surgery.
@@PainRack This video explains it well: ua-cam.com/video/Uj56IPJOqWE/v-deo.html It's about India but I suppose the same is true in Bangladesh.
Back in my schooling days, I remember it was the opposite or so for nodding. Found this: When Bangladeshis agree with you or say yes they don't nod their head up and down they tilt it sideways. As is true with other South Asians, Bangladeshis wobble their head in a way that is strange to Westerns to indicate “yes.” In northern Bangladesh, people twist their head sideways more while people in southern Bangladesh seem to move their head from side to side and up and down at the same time in a fluid motion. Many foreigners think they are going “no.” The twisted head gesture has many purposes. It can mean “okay,” “sounds good” or it indicates that a person is listening and paying attention. In Bangladesh, “nodding also means “yes” and a clear up side to side shaking means “no.”
Would "Endoscopic Brain surgery, my SO says I got my head up my ass!" be an acceptable answer?
Once the paperwork is done any joke is hundreds of times more likely to land
I had brain surgery at a very famous hospital. They must have asked me 20x who I was and exactly why I was there and which side of my head was going to be operated on. At one point there was a single # discrepancy between computer-generated measurements based on MRI and manual measurements. Solution? Start ALL OVER AGAIN. Took hrs,. before both computers and all the humans were in full agreement. All this with a "halo" screwed into my skull. Fun day but it all worked.
Hahahahahahaha I needed this laughter boost 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Thank you knee replacement patient who needed medium sized scalpels 😘
Good one, loved the ending.
My favorite part of this video too is Aileen😅 I think it's so funny the way she smiles and sound enthusiastic while having tired eyes
Touché. This is GOLD!!
That was so funny. I need to do that next time :P
This dude almost has my exact birthday.
Woahhh
Congrats! You've won a free colonoscopy from Doc Schmidt!
@@CallieMasters5000 Knee replacement*
@@CallieMasters5000 if I wasn't up to date on my colonoscopy I'd totally sign up for that. Maybe in 10 years. 😂
Wait, so if I said "I'm here to get a cash infusion of one million dollars", you'd have to give me money?
😂😂😂😂Oh, I needed this laugh today!
I cannot stop Laughing! Now this is a funny one! Good points! 😂
This was good.
LOL loved that!
That's *totally* gonna happen to me someday. Dawctiz be baaaawring. 😁
Came for a colonoscopy, but got a rotationplasty
Wonder if you could get more adults to be more honest with this type of literal response and action. Lol gets old and do not wish to end up dead based on techs and nurses in offices joking and speaking more about themselves.
It was as easy as being serious
😅😅
🤣🤣🤣
