Yesterday I asked one of my patients if he was experiencing any pain from his recent abdominal surgery. Initially he replied "no" but then added, " Actually I shouldn't say that, I guess I should probably take one of those pills the Dr. prescribed for me.. those Extra Strength Tylenol with cocaine."
I laughed and replied " coming right up!" I knew what he meant of course. When I repeated this story to one of the other nurses his Dr. happened to overhear me. He said " So Jennifer, That's how you keep your patients coming back."
