I've decided I am going to write a book entitled, "Things you shouldn't do on the job", thanks to my life experiences and lessons I've learned...
#1. Don't ever sit on a chair unless you know its not someone's bed side camode!
So...today at work I went into my patient's room to discuss a few things with them. Another specialist was already in the room and we were all talking. Everyone was sitting down but me, so I felt awkward standing over them. I saw a white plastic chair sitting next to the bed and sat on it to be eye level with everyone else. The "chair" felt a little different then the typical chair and definately didn't have much bootie support, something was definately missing. Oddly enough, the seat was covered with a towel. Finally, when I and the Dr. were leaving the room we kind of stopped in the entry way to say a few more things to the patient. I took one last look at the "chair" and realized it had an odd bucket attached underneath it. Yup, that seat I had been sitting on was definately my patient's bedside camode! I immediately just started laughing out loud, this would only to happen to me. Now I know why the patient kinda gave me a few strange glances when I pulled out the chair to sit down, I was sitting in the very spot they do their business. AWESOME! Way to make a good impression! To make matters worse, being the nerd I am, the stupid book in my jacket pocket got stuck on the chair/camode arm when I was getting up and the Dr. tried to help pull me up! OMG I am such a retard! Why do these things happen to me? Andy is right, I have no common sense. Sure enough this resembles my "chair" minus the white towel over the seat! Would anyone else mistake it for something other than a toilet but me? I THINK NOT!
