YOU HAVE TO LOVE A GOOD NURSE
A motorcycle patrolman was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix. The doctors operated and advised him that all was well; however, the patrolman kept feeling something pulling at the hairs in his crotch.
Worried that it might be a second surgery and the doctors hadn't told him about it, he finally got enough energy to pull his hospital gown up enough so he could look at what was making him so uncomfortable. Taped firmly across his pubic hair and private parts were three wide strips of adhesive tape, the kind that doesn't come off easily --- if at all. Written on the tape in large black letters was the sentence, 'Get well soon. from the nurse in the Jeep you pulled over last week.'
Kinda brings tears to your eyes doesn't it.
Remember folks, never mess with a nurse...
That is all.

I manage a medical plaza, with nurses galore. Most of them are seriously bad-@$$ chicks with guns. NEVER mess with 'em, but they make great friends.
Can't remember if it was a VC or some other podcast...or maybe in person. But Kelly told a story about a small Speed-Trap in some nowhere Arkansas town that he always got nailed in every time he passed through by the same officer.
Then the officer got arrested and Kelly responded. Dude got his boots, belt and clothes all cut to shreds to help him out. Ahhh!
I was on my way to work as an ER nurse when I was pulled over and written up by an arrogant young State Patrolmen. I was dressed in scrubs, stethascope around my neck. He wrote me up for 5 over in a 60.
I saw his supervisor that night in the ER and told him about it. He smiled and said, "I try to teach them, but some of them won't learn."
A month later, I was working an overtime shift on med surg when the house supervisor asked me to put in a foley catheter on a male patient in the orthopedic surgery wing. I walked in, and guess what? That young State Patrolman was lying there. He was too drugged to recognize me, but I burst out laughing. I walked down the hall still laughing to get the supplies when the house supervisor saw me and asked what was so funny? I told her the story and she cracked up and asked, "So just how big a catheter do you want me to get?"
I used the standard cath, but left a little note on his nightstand, "Thank the next ER nurse you pull over, and the one after that, and the one after that!"
I was being prepped for knee surgery several years ago. The pre-op injection made me a little loopy and turned me into a bit of a smartass. This very stern, grumpy nurse hooked up my IV and was holding onto my hand and I could feel the cold from the IV spreading up my arm. Just as the anesthesiologist started to put me under, the doctor asked me "How you feeling?" I replied "Either that IV solution is really cold, or that nurse holding my hand is frigid." and out I went.
I found out later that doctor, and the resident that was going to assist him had to leave the OR until they could quit laughing. The anesthesiologist claimed that he stayed with me because he was afraid of leaving me alone with the nurse.
For the next four days that same nurse stopped in to check on my recovery process every afternoon. The duty nurse from the orthopedic wing was always with her. I asked the duty nurse why they did those rounds alone during the morning and night but always had two of them for the mid afternoon session. She told me "Your doctor ordered us not to leave you alone with her."
Apparently she did not take my drug induced comment in the good natured fun manner I probably intended for it.
Nurses think up the best revenge
My mom, who's been a nurse for about 50 years once had a repetitive lunch thief at work... so she started making her tuna sandwiches with crushed up ex-lax... a lot of crushed up ex-lax.
Her lunch never disappeared again.
I've learned from the best

B-
"Remember folks, never mess with a nurse..."
Or a secretary.
Or, if you wear the uniform, a supply sergeant/quartermaster.
LOL- They DO get even, sooner or later :-)
And to add one to Wolf's comment, the Disbursing clerk...
When I flew a med-evac plane, I began taking multi-vitamins and looking eight ways before crossing the street because I never, ever wanted to meet my crews other than upright, coherent and in one piece! Great guys and gals, I admired them bunches, and never, ever wanted to get on their bad (or humorous) side.
