Nope. Can't say that I've ever even met a nurse who's fallen for a patient, either. I'm not denying that it could happen, it's just that patient care is not as romantic as the existence of the trope might lead you to believe.

Never heard of the Florence Nightingale effect, I just know that when it's happened to me, it's been very cringy and uncomfortable. And although I'm just a humble nurse, female physicians, NPs, and PAs have expressed the same feelings (yes, we talk); in fact, I've never run into a female health care professional who doesn't have at least one story ( the men probably have theirs, too; I've just not heard them). You've found a professional with whom you have a good rapport and who is providing you with good care. That's a lot harder to find than a potential romantic interest. Appreciate what she's giving you, and don't push for something that's going to make her feel personally, professionally, or legally uncomfortable.

A lot of healthcare professionals keep their nails short and unpolished for hygienic reasons. Short nails are less likely to have stuff under them, cracked or chipped nail polish actually provides more spaces for bacteria to proliferate. Also, for what it worth, it's awkward as hell when a patient hits on you.

Lovely! Then definitely welcome back!😊

Welcome back. Does memory serve me in that you are the person who objected to butter being left on the counter, or am I having (yet another) senior moment?

Aw, I just want to pinch those cheeks!

Not the delicious tacos again, dammit 🤬

This really offends my inner librarian. Fun fact for the day: There are no articles (a, an, or the) in Russian.

Is now.

This is Rebecca (Zeni's significant other):

Never forget to go to the bathroom before you leave the house.

I don't care if Ebola and AIDS have a baby, I'm not doing fourth grade.

No. Fight me.

That explains a great deal.

You're slipping. Don't make me want to find out if your clotting functions have returned to normal.

Goddammit, here we go again! THIS IS NOT THE YUMMY TACO THREAD! THIS IS HATERS & COMPLAINERS! IT'S FOR ONE-OFF GRIPES, NOT DISCUSSION OF SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS! TAKE IT TO FOOD, PEOPLE!

I know this, and the origin of this because I had preteen children when the movie first came out, and listened to countless repetitions of it when we got the tape, while said children were still preteens. Why do you know it? Also, ixnay, oronmay.

Yes, by a nun when I was in college. Part of the reason I went AWOL from the army of Christ. Have you ever gone to a cemetery alone at night?

J&J yesterday. Got a free scratch off with it. Tired, achy, and disappointed because I didn't win anything today.

Meat is a harsh mistress.

"I know my body" are the four words I used to dread the most.

Candles are nice, or oil lamps.
