Wha?

I don't often blog about work because I don't want to get my ass fired, however, sometimes I just can't help myself.

Setting: ICU yesterday at work

Players: myself, pharmacist and nurse

Nurse: has anyone seen part of my stethoscope? It broke and I'm missing the top half. I've looked everywhere and I can't find it.

Me: How in the world did your stethoscope break in 1/2?

Pharmacist: It looks plastic, is it plastic?

Nurse: Yes

Me: What the hell are you doing with a plastic stethoscope? Did you take it from your grand kids Fisher Price doctor kit?

Nurse: It actually worked pretty good considering.

Me: Considering what? That it was Fisher Price? (I'm thinking, no way.)

Nurse: Yes, it really worked.

Me: ______, are you telling me that your stethoscope was a toy?

Nurse: Yah. I just don't understand what could have happened to the other part. Where could it be? (nurse wanders off in search of her toy)

Pharmacist and I look at each other.

Pharmacist: She was serious wasn't she.

Me: Yes, she was.

Pharmacist: I can't believe it. She was using a toy stethoscope.

Me: Nothing surprises me anymore. That's just so sad.
