Doctor-patient communication at its finest

I took care of Nervous Nellie this past week. Everything was drama with her. I told her she needed to wear her sling after her procedure to prevent bleeding. She thought it was the end of the world; she acted like I had cut off her arm altogether and said she wouldn't survive with only one arm (she'd only have to wear the sling for 2 days). She also freaked out because she thought she'd have to get a new pacemaker because there was a spot of blood on the dressing. Next she was upset that she wouldn't be at home to pay her bills and her power would be turned off the next day (she'd only been in the hospital 3 days). I told her doctor about her rants when he came in. He walked into her room and she started complaining, "My heart keeps beating fast and won't stop. And I'm all wrapped up like a mummy." To which he replied:

"You're just in a sling. What are you bitchin' about?"

I had to walk away so they wouldn't hear me laughing. His comment kept her quiet for about 6 hours. I'd like to say he was a bit harsh, but I think he was right.

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes

I love taking pictures of weird signs (and sometimes people) on vacation. Here are a few I enjoyed in Belize & Guatemala:

Is the box on the right saying to not sit on wells or to not go to the bathroom?

Do you think a little girl would be traumatized after bashing her favorite Disney princess?

A little restrictive, but probably fun

I'm weird and like disease prevention signs:

Kissing bug

Good advice

He can cure diseases and he has noni juice.

This was outside a grocery store. I don't know what it was advertising.
Energetic food? Delicious workers?


We followed the sign

I don't know if I'd shop at a pharmacy that has a skull and crossbones on its sign

We never figured out if there was actually a terminal 2 or if was just the longer way to get to terminal 1
