"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
No, you don’t understand.
This actually happens.
We got a 16 year old boy on our unit once, because Pediatrics was full, and it’s about 1 in the morning and all the nurses are at the nurses station having a break and we’re all talking and having a laugh and then all of a sudden this kids heart monitor just goes CRAZY.
So we call the code and I grab the crash cart and about 6 of us just take off running down the hall and we bust in the room and this kid is just sitting there with his hand around his junk looking MORTIFIED.
So we just sort of backed out of the room quietly, walked calmly to the stairwell, and had a total and complete hysterical breakdown.
It was the funniest shit ever.
Omigod so many nurses have told me stories like these.
omg xD
I want to share this picture as its one of the happiest moments of my life, on this day me and my cousin (the girl in the bed) were due to see and meet my chemical romance in cardiff as we were at bristol childrens hospital and this was her ‘willow foundation’ wish (like make a wish but for older), she was so happy at the thought of meeting them but two days before the doctors told her she couldnt go cause it was too close to her chemotherapy and she was at too much risk of infection and this literally broke her heart, being a fan of them since they had started they were her inspiration, her everything.
so the day that we were meant to go see them came and we were in bed, depressed about the prospects of not going. then she got a call, iit was MCR managers asking if she would still like to meet them, of course she said yes but explained she couldnt cause of chemo and then they told her that would come to her.
at that moment i welled up with happiness, unbelievable.
but they did, they bought her every peice of merch from the tour and took photos and just had a lovely chat, she was so happy and i was shaking from shock. we just couldnt believe it and yknow what the best thing was? there was no media just us in her hospital room meeting our heros and it was breathtaking.
later i talked to one of the nurses who said that when they were told she couldnt come they themselves decided to travel the hour and half out there way to make her dreams come true!
so here it is, thankyou. thankyou, thankyou.
i honestly cannot say thankyou more, unfortunatly she lost her battle with cancer and i miss her so much everyday but pictures like this get me through and make me realise there are some genuine nice people out there.
Thankyou guys and thankyou shyla for being the best friend i could ask for and thankyou willow foundation for making this happen.
I love you all so much <33
I’m about to fucking cry. That was beautiful. I’m sorry for your loss

WHY A STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY FOR MALALA YOUSAFZAI?(via Mohammed Abbasi)
(Thanks to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for this)
Simple, because she was a lone voice - giving voice to many girls and not just in Pakistan. The least we could do is support her courageous voice and give support to the many Malalas who dare not raise their voices.

Source: youjustlearned.comOk now for the dream last night. It started at home when I finished helping my mom do some computer stuff. Then she went upstairs. I didn’t realize I left the front door open so a few cute kittens came in. I was all “awwww” and played with them for a while. But then they turned out rabid; one bit my fingers and the other bit my butt. I sort of felt this different bitten sensation that I was convinced I could potentially catch rabies. Quickly my mom sent me to a doctor she knew while it was still early so I can get it treated as soon as possible.
The doctor was eccentric; his stay-in-hospital room or (whatever you call it) was right on top of a cliff. Heck, his whole hospital was on top of a cliff and the room where patients stay was directly on top of the cliff’s fragile end. It’s also where he parks his funny-looking car.
All the patients (me included) were staying on that room and that’s when he gave us his special pills to begin the medication, along with a glass of water each. Except… he told us to GURGLE the pills instead, not swallow them. He says that way it works best if you wanna cure from the inside. He then proceeded to inject us with a serum one by one (thank God he uses different needles for each patient this time) and my mom left.
There are some parents and guardians that decided to stay there with their kids/friends/relatives. I saw four people come in after me, three were infected. A girl, her husband/boyfriend and her brother. The one accompanying them was her mom. I gotta be honest, the girl was quite a complainer. The other three tried calming her down as much as possible until it was late at dusk. The brother politely told the mom to leave & go home seeing that it was late but she said she wanted to stay there to aid her kids. After her daughter calmed down I spotted her sitting a few inches away from my bed. For some reason I can read the contents in her diary she was writing on, such as “Dear diary, I don’t know why the infection turned my son into an affectionate and caring boy while it turned my little girl into an annoying needy bitch instead.” Yeesh, I’m glad I don’t have a mom like her, I thought, but then again it could be that the daughter’s infection was worse, or the siblings acted the opposite before the infection.
The next morning, one of the patients escaped. The doctor was worried and for the whole day he acted all pissy. Realizing this he went out shopping for medicines and other things doctors need. Me and some other patients however sneaked upstairs and found a collection of candles on the floor. We lit those candles and made some kind of presentations for fun because the hospital bored us to death. I didn’t know how many minutes passed but the doctor came back, parked his car on the cliff as usual and entered through a window. He saw us with his precious candles and angrily told us to GTFO and said now he’ll need to buy candles just like that and they were hard to find around the place.
The dream sort of ended with visions of someone punching their employee cards & going home.
Doctors at Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto, Canada have taken interactive gaming to the next level when they hooked up a Kinect console to their medical imaging computer. Now when in the operating room, doctors can have direct access to MRI scans, without having to disinfect, leave the operating room, consult the scans, and then scrub back in. This hack allows them to virtually manipulate the scans and retrieve the necessary information by pulling it up on screen with a wave of their hand. (via PSFK)
