That makes sense, and I appreciate your explanation. Now if only we could get the correct term for this.

She HAS to have known for decades about his activities. How can you be married to arguably the world’s most notorious serial adulterer and NOT know it? Anyway, assuming that is the case, she may never have known who she is. So sad.

I truly don’t understand the ‘family first’ mentality she seems to be displaying.

1. Nurse Jackie is now available on Netflix or Hulu, I forget which.

Louis C K and a Jolly and a yacht:

I know! But what I want to know is: who is actually making the porn? Why don't we hear about their arrests?

Sensible hygiene means you take them out in less than, oh 24 hours. When the tampon is forgotten for a month or so, it becomes a different creature, and the smell is worse than a dead animal. You'd think the women would smell it themselves, or others would stay away.

As Nurse Phil says, you just nod your head. But then you go to the nurses station and everybody laughs and makes jokes, and then the story gets told at dinner, and then eventually, on Gawker media. Names and identifiers redacted, of course.

Mrs. Fields!

Pretty sure Cher has been calling him that since they were on the Sonny and Cher show.

Like they tell you in nursing school, “You WILL make a med error”. But fortunately, like you, none of mine were serious.

Forgot to mention: we had a lot of DKA’s in our ER, and I could smell them just by walking past the room.

I got my RN license in 1997 and my first job was a new grad training position in an inner-city ER. About three years into it, a man in his 30s came in talking but confused, complaining of muscle weakness. The only information he could tell us about his medical history was that “it’s a metabolic condition”. The triage…

Thanks for that. From what you describe, I might have been one of those ER nurses you worked with, and I liked working with residents. They knew we knew more about some things, and it was fun to teach them.
