worked flat out from 8pm to 7.30am without even going to the loo..
Me: Im just going to get a quick drink and sit down for 5 mins, call me if anything is urgent only please...
2 mins later into my lovely piece of toast; *bleep, bleep*
N: Doctor, can you please review this urgent Trop T ASAP it is less than 0.01
Me: Ummm, no.
N: But its an urgent Trop T!!!
Me: Yes and its NEGATIVE, consider it reviewed...
Did she want me to wake the patient up and give them a round of applause for not having an MI?

student nurse pages
"can you come and look at baby x's rash please?" 5 mins after I'd just popped my head into NICU to see if they needed anything.....
"was it not there 5 mins ago?"
"er no, can you please come and look?" ..wearily get up as she sounds concerned
turn light on and peer into baby x's cot
"Erm, I can't see any rash - do I need to take the nappy off?"
student nurse looks confused:
"but the rash was there when the light was OFF!!!"
