The Crazy Hospital

1. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in a hospital (besides your illness)? Not enough towels? No condiments? Can't get your favorite channels? Come on, you can tell me. **Or....maybe this answer doesn't involve you being the patient.**
I haven't ever stayed in a hospital over night, but I have spent a lot of time in emergency rooms. One time when I was 17, I went to the E.R. with breathing problems and a severe sore throat. They wanted to test me for mono, but they couldn't find a vein to take blood from. They kept poking me with needles all over my arms and hands, but couldn't find a vein. Several nurses and two doctors all tried to do it, but they never had any luck. Finally after four hours of getting needles shoved in me, I said that I was sick of it and left without ever getting blood taken

2. If you had your choice of IV cocktails, what would you choose?
I'd just go with morphine so it would knock out my chronic pain for a while

3. Tell us your funniest hospital story.
Like I said in #1... never stayed in hospital overnight

4. Do you have any hospital phobias?
I'm afraid of waking up and finding out that a surgeon took out my liver or something when I just went in for some simple thing

5. Imagine you are in bed trying to get some sleep after a long night of interruptions by the nurse on duty who would NOT stop waking you up to see if you were asleep...It is 3am. You finally get to sleep. She comes in at 3:15 and wakes you up again. What happens next?
I'd tell her to leave me alone

6. You are stuck in the elevator with an attractive person of the opposite sex. You notice there is no wedding band. Do you strike up a conversation? If so, what is the first thing you would say?
I don't say anything. I hate talking to people on the elevator

7. A very odd patient wanders into your room from the upstairs psychiatric ward. What do you do?
I talk to him and have the most interesting conversation of my life, and I sound just as crazy as him
