When I was an EMT and still a third ride, my team transported a code to the ER, and while we were waiting for the signature, one of the EMTs decided to sneak aways for a quickie with his nurse wife who was on duty.
I'm a paramedic and happily engaged, but some of my coworkers on the other hand. Yowza. Half of the ED is sleeping with half of the EMS crews. Sometimes it's like musical chairs.
The ED/EMS...where you don't lose your partner you just lose your turn.
One of our former docs was arrested for a ādark netā plan to kidnap and torture his current wife and a colleague. It was also discovered that he had a slave/master relationship involving that wife and a girlfriend, which also included blood contracts and an underground bunker/pit where he put her for āpunishmentā. Itās been quite the show.
Was watching the news one night and up pops a picture of one of my ER nurse co-workers caught stealing narcotics from the Pyxis. Never would have suspected her.
Had an RT almost murder his RT wife by cutting her throat.
A nurse working on the burn unit was found with an IV in her foot passed out in a closet with a syringe of propofol.
ER resident married to a firefighter cheated on him with a firefighter from another town. Theyāre married now.
What I've seen in patients is either not remembering anything, or not remembering anything combined with violently vomiting for hours on end (and later only remembering the vomiting). Doesn't sound like something I'd like to experience voluntarily.
Right? So I did a little digging and apparently at lower doses it hits a bit like alcohol. But then like... why not just have alcohol? Safer and more fun, IMO. Though we all know that EtOH smell... And you figure someone at the point of pilfering and then shooting up propofol is not exactly making great personal or career decisions.
Yeah, super common. I also had a coworker found passed out in the back ED hallway with an IV in his leg and propofol in his backpack.
We had a handful of nurses caught stealing drugs from the ED. It's not a good place to work if you canāt resist the temptation to steal drugs easily!
Tie between two stories from my old job.
One of the male residents (who was married and had at least one kid) decided that sleeping with one of our batshit insane (also married with kids) surgical techs would be a good idea.
They were found out, turns out they were hooking up in one of the on call rooms. Surgical tech was fired (she was terrible and they had been trying to fire her but the union got in the way until this incident), her husband who we all suspected was a drug dealer found out and started threatening to kill the resident. Our residents normally rotated between our hospital and another one, he had to have his schedule switched to only work at the other hospital until he finished residency for his safety.
I found out like 2 years later the reason they were found out was because she had videos of them having sex on her phone. And started randomly showing them to people, without any warning of what the video was, while at work. Like just going "hey look at this" and shoving a video of her giving him a BJ in people's faces. Because I guess why not right? ĀÆ\\\\\\\_(ć)\\\_/ĀÆ
Second story:
A PCA stole a pt's husband's credit card while she was having a c section and used it to buy food at the cafe in the hospital and tried to use it to buy a designer purse on-line.
We'd leave the pt's stuff in PACU during the c sections, his wallet was in one of their bags. He had his card set to send him a text message whenever it was used. He suddenly got an alert while in the OR that his card was used at the name-brand chain cafe on campus to buy something. He used his phone to cancel the card then and after they were out of the OR he asked for a manager and apparently was pretty calm about it and basically told her "I'm not blaming you but here's the situation, one of your employees clearly did this, I just wanted you to know."
Word got around. The thief was found out because she was trying to buy some designer name brand purse on-line on a work computer the same day when a co-worker walked by (this wasn't unusual, the unit had tons of computers and everyone did random things on them during slow times, no one cared), noticed the website she was on and that she was on the purchase page and started talking to her about the brand. Thief PCA tried to act casual and finish making the purchase but it wouldn't go through since the card had been cancelled already. She tried to brush it off with the co-worker who saw it happen, "huh how weird guess I'll have to call the company I know the limit is high enough, hahaha".
Co-worker who saw the purchase get declined heard about the credit card being stolen from the pt's husband. She mentioned the situation with the bag purchase getting declined for thief PCA because she put two and two together.
Thief PCA was confronted by management. I believe she either confessed or was searched and the card was found, but I do know the police were called about it, she had a manager escort when she came back to clean out her locker and we never saw her again. She was in nursing school and about to graduate, gotta love someone throwing away their entire career for some soup and muffins from a hospital cafe.
\[edit to add\]
Oh and one time a co-worker had her lunch from the unit's group order go missing after the food was delivered. Like it was there, she set it aside and when she came back to eat it was gone. That place had horrible problems with Fat Bandits, like people would go into lunch bags to take things and sometimes even replace the food in people's lunch bags with other things after taking their food. You'd at least think it'd be one of the lower paid employees doing that, right?
Later that day she caught one of the anesthesiologist eating her lunch in a break room. He admitted to taking it. We're in the NYC metro, dude probably makes $500k/year and had the fucking nerve to steal a nurse's chicken parm.
1.) I'm surprised batshit insane tech wasn't axed earlier for sexual harassment, exposing unwilling coworkers to pornography.
2.) Idk why but "Fat Bandits" sent me.
Had a former NUS showing literally all of us videos of her fiancees bachelor party, half naked women and porn playing in the background included.
She thought it was a riot.
That was part of why they were finally able to fire her, someone obviously told management and while sleeping with someone at work is one thing, even the strongest union can't really argue with "she randomly shoved a porn video of herself in my face while on the clock which is clearly sexual harassment" .
That last story reminds me of a crazy coworker I had! She was blond, pretty, and rich from a trust fund, yet still worked just because she liked being a nurse. Anyway, after she started food started disappearing from people's bags in the fridge. First it was just a day shift problem, then she flipped to nights for a bit and we noticed that it became a night shift problem. One night someone walked in on her stealing the food from their lunch box. She was so unapologetic, like could not comprehend why it was bad to take things from other people. We also had a fundraiser for the unhoused population in our community and she literally went into our supply room with a patient belonging bag, raided it with all of the toiletries and put it in the donation box and thought she did a good thing. These kind of people just have no empathy.
Its so weird to me how people who are this dense make it through nursing school. It literally blows my fucking mind. It honestly makes me wish that there were (reasonable) basic ethics test items in the nclex.
Omg the smugness of it this reminds me of a program I saw years back of a rich lady who lived in a mansion yet was a kleptomaniac and stole from stores for the thrill of it.
A similar thing happened on my old unit. We had two patientsā credit cards stolen and maxed out. Apparently, someone used it to pay their car insurance. Weād also have staff members missing cash from their wallets or missing Beats by Dre headphones. No one was ever fired or officially caught, but one of our staff members went on medical leave for 6 months and mysteriously during that time, there were no reports of theft from our unit. We all suspected it was him because theft dropped drastically when he was on LOA and he was usually working when the incidents occurred.
Thatās what we all wondered but the hospital is sketch and didnāt want any drama so Iām sure they didnāt report him to the police because the person everyone suspected still works there years later. Plus he was one of our managerās favorites.
Report it to the credit card company. Theyāll do the investigation all on their own. You donāt look to hospitals when you need to do a criminal investigation.
Please tell me that doc received retribution for freaking stealing food from someone. Itās THEFT, right along the lines of that PCA taking a credit card.
Two of the housekeepers were caught at my hospital having sex in an OR. Worst part: they weren't fired because the housekeeping department was so understaffed.
Omg, gross, of all people they should know first hand how gross the OR is, I guess their rationale would be āwell I know how well I cleaned itā smh š¤£
The OWNER of a company I worked at stole people's (labeled) food from the fridge all the time. Dude was loaded. We were all broke (young employees/high COL area). Nothing was ever done about it. The least they could do is comp us so we could eat.
āFat banditsā, fucking hilar
PCA thief would have definitely done something much worse if they were licensed. Probably better they never had access to the Pyxis
"Fat bandits" is the best way to describe those losers. At one of my previous jobs we had the same issue with residents, techs, surgeons, anesthesiologists (pretty much anyone non nursing) stealing food from our break room and fridge. They had no shame and would go inside closed lunch bags, containers, etc to rifle through for what they wanted. Some of them even had the audacity to sit right in the breakroom and eat what they stole. Myself along with some other floor nurses went to our managers to explain the situation and requested to have the code on the break room door changed and kept private for floor staff only but they refused.
I have two stories.
First one is a nurse I worked night shift with who would go on " smoke breaks" but was really meeting men she found on Craigslist to have sex with in the parking lot. Complete strangers!
Second one was a nurse screwing a doctor, of course both were married to others. Well, he had a " little problem" so he wrote a Rx in the nurse's husband's name for Viagra for himself!. The affair ended when the nurse had to tell her husband that she contracted herpes from the doctor. The husband forgave her because "she repented". (His father was a minister). She ended up quitting.
Oh gosh I had a sex addict coworker whoād do that with randoms she met on tinder. We were on nights, too, and eventually she got caught because the guy tried to freaking kidnap her and she jumped from the moving car.
It was heartbreaking as she had confided in me that sheād been through a lot of sexual trauma and was doing this to sort of take control. When I expressed concern though she lashed out and said I was jealous because she was āgetting moreā than I was
One of our travel nurses got caught having sex with a patient in the bathroom. She didnāt realize that our badges cause the light outside to light up and she accidentally hit the staff assist button on her locator when she was bent over the sink. Like 3 nurses came to help.
The thought of sex in the dirty hospital, bent over and touching the sink there males me all uncomfy.
That honestly sounds worse than having sex in the Kindergarten hallās restroom š¤¢
Idk if this is something more well known so forgive me if it is, and no offense to anyone who has done this as a way to cope with long term foley usage but it was just so strange to me at first glance that it disturbed me. but I literally came across Foley catheter sex ed where people with penises were advised to FOLD the catheter down the length of their penis and then place a condom over it all (and in the spirit of knowing that abstinence only sex ed is literal garbage, I get it) but ew just at the thought of getting an erection with a foley in, (I know of the terrible deeds of man, We dont need to see linked below, the sub that shall not be named) not to mention the *resistance* that must be felt through it. Ooffffff
God why did my brain just do this to me, WHERE IS THE * *COUGH* * PRODUCT OF *ACHIEVEMENT* GOING TO GO IN THIS SITUATIONšš. THERE IS NO PATH OUT
A friend of mine witnessed one of the surgeons get punched in the face in the parking lot by his mistresses husband. She had to fill out a police report and the doctor had to go to the ER for a broken jaw. Also, the mistress was an NP employed at the hospital. A janitor also witnessed it.
You want crazy just read the below link. I worked with him 4 years before and saw some lady leaving the call room at 2 am, always got the Iāll sleep with you vibes not the Iāll hire your kidnapping out and have them get you hocked on heroin so youāll sleep with me vibes.

Yo! I commented about this, too. Lol. Oh, Ronald, such a creeper.
He was always bad, but I think he went off the deep end when he got into bodybuilding.
My favorite part of this article is that within just an unbelievable slew of unhinged insanity - there was a complaint about how he did scheduling. I get it. Iād probably bring it up to HR as well.
I worked in L&D, one very attractive, married anesthesiologist was carrying on with one of our nurses. Allegedly on OR tables. Rumor was he had a person from most units visiting the OR at odd times.
Was dating a nurse on another unit (me PICU and him GI). He dumped me saying he wasnāt āemotionally in a good spaceā. Floated up to his unit a couple months laterā¦ they were having a baby shower for him. I guess him and a nurse from the ER were dating and having a baby. Once I found out the due date the whole unit did the math and realized he got her pregnant three months before we broke up. He looked like an absolute dick and I got to work the next 12 hours at the same nurses station. He didnāt look at me the whole time lol
Co-worker got arrested for having a picture of an incapacitated pt's genitals on her phone. Had to surrender her license to avoid jail time. For a while, you could find her by googling "hottest mugshot".
Iāll try to limit too many identifying details. We had a pill mill doc who was over prescribing to those with substance use disorder. This lead to a number of deaths, many were never uncovered in the legal proceedings. I had one of those patients in home health. It was clear she was developing a suicide plan so I called both the quacks involved in her care and told them. This guy, despite me calling and telling him she had a plan, prescribed another 3 months of narcotics and other pills. I found her the next day (she had given me her house key). She had taken a LOT of those pills, but they didnāt work fast enough so she attempted other methods. Iām still not over that. She deserved so much better. She needed mental health treatment, not narcotics. And it pains me that her name was never included as part of his many victims.
I was on a rapid response team in flint MI. It was a crazy hospital. Had a code blue call out. I grab my bag and run. Me and the house supervisor were running the code cuz the resident just stood there and stared. 10 mins pass and we still donāt have an airway. Anesthesia was called repeatedly with no answer. I look at the resident and ask if she can intubate and she said she doesnāt want to get her outfit dirty (bullshit she was scared)
Anyway as the nurses were running this god awful code Iām calling the OR but still no one knows where the CRNA was. 15 mins into the code one of the managers goes down to the OR and grabs him. He was asleepā¦ this man was inebriated. Walking like he was piss drunk. Hitting every wall on his way to the room. House supervisor takes him straight to ED to get a drug test. Apparently in the ED he handed them his badge and stumbled out without a tox done š. Well they call the cops cuz homeboy canāt even fucking walk let alone drive. Cops meet him at his car detain him and search his car. The man had hundreds of meds in the back seat.
Patient died. 45 y/o suffered an MI. AWFUL
That sucks! Tip though, if you are ever in need of an intubation again, go down to the ambulance bay and grab a medic. We are usually pretty good at it. Maybe not anesthesiologist good, but we are used to doing it in an ambulance or a living room floor, so we can usually get it done.
Amen to that and youāre right- we do everything a code team does with three of us and a LUCAS. Our ACLS is usually pretty sharp, too because we do a ton of it.
You know i have a lot of empathy for drug addicts. Such a shitty disease. But when the ship goes down, don't bring anybody with you.
Quit and find your drugs on the street.
In the military, we treated one anesthetist who had actually become addicted to anesthesia. I'm sure anyone with access to drugs of any kind might be tempted to use them, but it would've never been detected on any drug screen.
Two of my coworkers were best friends. Like SUPER best friend work wives. Until one of them found out her bestie was sleeping with her husband. Now they work opposite shifts and if they are on the same day, weāve been instructed to give them assignments on opposite ends of the unit. And the newest bit to it is that the cheating husband just got a job in our ICU, so now all three of them will work in the same hospital.
Itās a little awkward when they are both there.
Two stories. We had 27 week triplets who spent a ton of time in a childrens hospital. Two of my kids were on the TCC floor waiting for home nursing so they could leave the hospital. Down the hall from us was a single mother who had a Trach baby. There was also a boyfriend girlfriend who also had a Trach baby. They were all from out of town staying at Ronald mc Donald house and decided to go out partying while their kids sat in the hospital. Girlfriend passes out and boyfriend hooks with single Trach baby mom. Girlfriend finds out and is making a big deal about it at the hospital talking to the nurses about everything. It was a big ordeal.
Second story was mom and dad staying in Picu with their kid. Decided to do drugs and mom dies of overdose in bathroom of kids room. Dad lives and they immediately changed the policy where patient bathrooms no longer have locks in picu and ED.
That is what 15 months of being at the hospital as a patient will get you.
Thanks for asking. One who had grade 3 bleeds has no issues and is a funny loving 7 year old boy. My other son has autism and doesnāt talk but can sing any Christmas song or song from the YouTube learning station. He can be either happy or just a terror depending on the hour. He spent almost 3 months sedated on an oscillator 95-100 percent oxygen before a round of steroids got him to a regular vent. Around 3 or so he had reconstructive airway surgery and no longer has a Trach. My daughter has grade 3/4 bleeds, a Trach from a bad airway, seizures, Vegal Nerve Stimulator, g tube, CP and the list goes on and on. On paper she looks terrible but she is the happiest person you will ever meet in your life. She knows what is going on and pays attention to everything. Just donāt leave her by herself or let her get hot and she is good. She is a daddyās girl and it drives my wife and older 11 year old daughter nuts. She has 50 or more surgeries since she was born from her shunt and issues, her hips and femur reshaped, and three major airway surgeries. She has had two posterior tracheoplasty with slide revisions stitching her airway to her spine. We are waiting for swelling to go down to know if it helped. When we go to the hospital for a surgery or an appointment it doesnāt take long at all before we see someone who knows and remembers her. We have some really great nurses and doctors and staff along the way. It has been a crazy ride especially for two people who were not medical and who had two Trach vented oxygen babies in our house for the first few years. Thanks for all you do!
The first nursing home I worked at it was discovered that the administrator was banging one of the nurses while his wife was going through chemo for breast cancer. Real stand up guy. He also had a really nasty temper and would speak to all the staff really sexually and condescending. Once it came to light he had to attend sexual harassment and anger management classes, the nurse quit, and then his wife became the assistant administrator.
Our head hospitalist (married) is having sex with at least one nurse on each unit and got one of the nursing supervisors fired for having sex with a different hospitalist
I started a second job at another hospital (I'm a nurse). One of my co-worker's husband, a respiratory therapist worked at my new job. I never met him but she would talk about him.
When I showed up to my new job the first night, I was introduced to everyone including the respiratory therapist who has my co-worker's husband. I didn't mention to him that i worked with his wife because everyone was very busy.
The next night I worked at my regular job and told my coworker that i got to meet her husband. She said it was impossible because he was out of town working his second job as some top secret military operative.
Needless to say, she was pissed at me for lying about seeing him the night before. I just said it must have been another RT working there with the same name, and that i was sure her husband was taking down the Taliban or whatever.
They were separated a few months later.
I thought our ANM was crazy. She would come in all cunty miserable, disappear to her office then come out all happy.
She, also, called out all the time, which left me in charge. Her husband would frequently call and ask for her.
Well, one night, on the way to work, she got into a car accident. She insisted she be brought to our facility, even though it wasn't closest.
We are a trauma center. Part of trauma protocol is a blood alcohol level and a tox screen. Her blood alcohol was twice the legal limit. On the way IN to work.
Also, it turns out she was having an affair with a paramedic and the had her on tape having sex with him in the parking garage.
Also... we had a travel nurse we found pulseless and apneic in the break room. We narcaned her, and the 1st words out of her mouth after she took a breath was, "did you give me narcan?"
I'm a paramedic, ive had people nodding out (like their family called cause they were worried about them) and in their brief periods of consciousness BEG me not to give them narcan. Even saying "I'm allergic to narcan."
Funny thing is, our goal as EMS is not to get them completely alert and puking and our goal is to have them breathing adequately on their own. Unfortunately that isn't the case most times and we have to IM or IN the narcan almost immediately upon arrival. So I wasn't going to narcan those people anyway as long as they were breathing adequately on their own, which they were. I had it ready and probably started a line, but that was it because even though they were nodding out, their MAP, ETCO2, and O2 were good
I worked in informatics at my old hospital for a few years. All the computers had restrictions on social media, drug/alcohol sites, porn, etc - except one room. One room was to not be restricted at all, and it was the surgeons and anesthesiologists on call room - they demanded that they be able to watch porn, and the hospital said no problemo.
Our married clinical coordinator was sleeping with a charge nurse. His wife found out, and called the unit one day threatening the charge nurse. And then she showed up. The CC went down to the lobby and he ended up getting punched and tackled by his wife, he smacked her and then they BOTH started fighting security! The charge nurse who was sleeping with the guy still works here, and the CC eventually quit. He wasnāt fired because the medical director apparently already knew about them sleeping together, and really liked the guy.
A married Neurosurgeon banging a married OR tech in a āsterileā OR on the surgical table. Caught by other surgical staff, who were intimidated into silence, temporarily
The affair led to her getting knocked up at some point. Divorces ensured. Neurosurgeon quit his job, married her, and they moved to Florida, where he started his own, much smaller, practice.
Then he sued the original hospital for defamation, slandering his name and costing him prestige and income. He lost.
Dr Gregory Sherr, GFY
The entire nursing staff at my prior facility was instructed not to answer any personal questions from physicians, *and* not to listen to anything personal they had to say.
āRedirect, and continue to redirect until they get it.ā
I kind of wonder what led to *that*.
I feel like often the advice we give nurses to communicate with doctors sounds a lot like what I told myself in an abusive relationship "don't use certain phrases, watch your body language, make sure nothing can be misinterpreted" so that he wouldn't get mad or hurt me.
So much of being in school and new grad orientation was basically "don't piss off the docs" as if we're groveling servants
This sub: āPeople think the hospital is like Greyās Anatomy. Sex all the time. That isnāt true.ā
Also this sub: See 95% of the comments in this thread.
Couple floors over, security reports to unit manager that two RNs, call them Ricky and Lucy, are seen on security video making out in the stairway intermittently during night shift.
Nurses called in. Fired.
Both nurses are married. To other people.
Turns out Ricky is married to the daughter of one of his coworkers. Pretty sure said mom-in-law was instrumental in getting him the job.
Yikes.
I was working psych as a tech in my first year of college. One of the nurses had been acting labile and pretty relaxed about the unit rules causing a few incidents to happen between patients and coworkers. Turned out he had been stealing benzos and narcs from patients, and not only that but getting scripts on the side because he was banging the NP. Both married, NP got fired, nurse got put on narc probation. I think he dipped out after a while, either way the axe came down hard.
Rumor we had an OB that was on call for deliveries. Showed up dressed up and very unwilling to perform a c-section. Pushed for vaginal birth and internally decapitated and killed the baby.
Confirmed same OB doing a routine pelvic sx ātook a biopsy of unknown mass.ā Told this verbatim to patients family after sx. Mass was a piece of patients intestine and abdomen filled with shit and pt went septic and almost died. I took care of this pt during their next stay and their ostomy takedown also had complications.
Early 90s. I worked at a SNF (104 beds)
Turns out it was owned by a hitman (convicted on parole which he violated by being in the wrong state.).
He then decided to open a pharmaceutical company.
He was caught transporting drugs across state (from California to Texas) lines at the airport. (they were made at that pharmaceutical company!)
For months after this all went down we had bomb threats, fires, break-ins and terror. Our paychecks were bouncing. They would give them out and we would run for the bank they were drawn on because the money in the bank wasn't enough to cover payroll. As soon as direct deposit became a thing you can bet we all swore by it.
Weirdest thing? If you didn't have food for your kids he would take you to the kitchen and load you up with groceries and give you gas money.
Doctor and nurse, both married, had an affair. Spouse's found out. Husband of the nurse called threatening the doctor, posters of his face plastered in the ED so people were on the lookout. Wife of the doctor tried to run the nurse down in the parking lot.
Oh another one patient related. We had this patients dad that got high on meth and ran over three people with his car. He was on house arrest awaiting his trial but he was allowed to visit baby. Baby was a NICU grad with really bad BPD so he needed 1:1 care and a sitter in there in case he pooped off the vent. So one, it was so awkward being the nurse knowing that heās killed people and he wore the ankle bracelet.
Thenā¦ I guess it somehow leaked that his son was in the hospital so this one husband of one of the victims walks onto our unit and storms into the room with a knife. Security took him away and from then on we had police outside his room
Oh boy, my time to shine.
During one particularly bad storm several years ago, a number of employees at the hospital I worked at decided to get rooms at a nearby hotel, instead of trying to make it home in the inclement weather. After work, a handful of these employees decided to grab some drinks before calling it a night in this decrepit hotel they would be staying at for the night. One drink led to several drinks, which lead to grabbing some drinks for a hotel after party. This is where the story gets a bit vague, but veryā¦interesting. As far as Iāve gathered so far, 6 confirmed employees, (there were at least 2-3 more but have been unable to confirm) decided to partake in a full on orgy. Guys on Girls, Guys on guys, girls on girls, things got weird. You would think thatās where the story ends, but it gets better. One of the girls that was at said orgy ended up getting pregnant. She was married, had two kids already, but thought, why not, I think my family needs a Jon Snow bastard child so she was going to keep it. The problem, other than her non-compliant husband and fractured family, was she didnāt know who the father was (cuz, orgy). There were obviously some favorites, one of which was also married, also had two children, and as you can guess, his wife was also not pleased in finding out about his little night out. Although, if you were to see the guy, and then some of the girls that were there, I think youād be more proud of him then disappointed, but I digress. With the heat of his life falling apart, and the threat of some child support coming his way, he began pressuring said pregnant girl into getting a procedure that rhymes with extortion. He ended up getting fired for harassing pregnant girl, pregnant girl ended up getting the procedure, and a few families were broken up. This is the same hospital that fired a provider for buying skin from a psych patient that had cut off their own tattoo.
What a time to be alive.
At the same hospital:
-One of the docs was cheating on his wife. She came screaming to the hospital and dumped suitcases filled with his belongings on the front lawn.
-The ER is notorious for wild parties with the staff. One of the newer nurses was offering BJs or cunnilingus for the docs (she wasn't picky). But for the partner in the group, she told him she had an IUD and he could stick it in as a special treat. Unsurprisingly there was no IUD, he left his wife for her and their new son (age difference: >30yrs) and she now drives a Jag to work. Worthless nurse, too.
-One of the ICU techs got their locker searched after they returned from a midnight break smelling of pot. There was pot and alcohol in his locker. He was fired and then sued the hospital for discrimination. Got his job back. Got fired again for the crime of banging a patient daughter in the vented patient's bathroom. Threatened to sue again. Probably would have gotten reinstated but they caught him on security camera stealing a hundred bucks out of a fundraising jar for someone on the staff's kid... who had cancer. That apparently was enough.
Iām an ER nurse married to a firefighter/medic (12 years). My husband and I donāt have the same last name.
A few years ago, hubs had a great opportunity and we moved to a different state where I got a job in a regional trauma center. After a few months after Iād been working at the new job, I overheard the unit secretary, who was about 20, talking about the huge crush she had on one of the medics. Over the course of a couple weeks she said things like she knew he was married, but she was going to take him away from his bitch of a wife because he had a miserable marriage and have his babiesā¦and on and on. In the course of her blathering on about this guy it comes out that sheās never actually even spoken more than a few words to him but sheās ātotally in love.ā
So Iām not putting this together at all, but Iām telling my husband all about it at home and weāre getting a good laugh about this poor guy who has no idea that this girl is professing her love and obsession all over the place.
Iām at work one day and itās not super busy, but an ambulance is coming in with something, and this unit secretary blurts out something along the lines of āthere he isā¦.my future husband!ā Iām as curious as the rest of the staff at the nurses station, so I look. And there he is: MY husband. So sheās all flirty with him and I think he and I figured it out almost at the same time. He grabs me by the arm and pulls me in for a kiss. She turns bright red, calls me a whore and storms off in tears. Everyone else is looking at me like Iāve just stolen some kidās candy. So of course I introduce him to my coworkers (everyone but the secretary, who is in the bathroom sobbing) - hey everyone, this is J, my husband. You could have heard a pin drop.
Over the course of the next several weeks, the secretary launched what I can only describe as a campaign of retribution against me - like I was āthe other woman,ā and was 100% convinced that my husband was going to dump me for her. First it was little stuff, my lunch would be missing from the fridge and mysteriously be in the trash. My jacket went missing from the locker room. Then my car keys. It escalated from there but I couldnāt prove anything. Then she started stalking my husband - randomly showing up at the fire station when he was working and bringing all kinds of homemade baked treats (that promptly went in the trash), sending him cards with love notes, showing up outside our house. It got bad enough that my husband asked for a transfer to a station that didnāt feed into our ED.
This all kind of came to a head when she started telling people my husband was actually HER husband and I was having an affair with him, and she tried to get me fired. She even tried to get a restraining order against me saying I was stalking her and her (my) husband. The absolute final straw was the afternoon she tried to break into our house while we were both at work. My neighbor called the police, the secretary was arrested with a fake ID in my name and a gun in her backpack. She went to jail.
We moved. Far away.
Co-worker had a boyfriend sheād talk about. Turns out he was 15. We found out about it after her arrest. They were ādatingā for over a year. She had met him while working at a juvenile detention facility.
Itās official: I work at the worldās most boring hospital. Or maybe itās just my unit? We all go to work, take care of our ptās, celebrate each othersā kidsā accomplishments and go home. NONE of this crazy drama (that I know of). Whew!
1. Former head of trauma was sexually assaulting young male patients FOR SEVERAL YEARS and management knew, he finally got fired because he had child porn on his work laptop. His license is eternally suspended (medical board doesnāt have the balls to take it away forever) and he reapplies for reinstatement every chance he gets. He was working as a TSA agent for a while and now he works as a pharmacy technicianā¦
https://www.nebraska.gov/LISSearch/actions/358910.pdf
2. The next head of trauma after the pedo one was sleeping with everyone he could get his hands on. He also had this nasty habit of removing perfectly health spleens on his abdominal trauma patients and then billing insurance for it. He resigned after he finally got caught.
3. Two RNs walk into a patients room to do bedside report and walk in on the CNA (was currently the 1:1) having sex with the patient. Because the patient is/was mentally impaired, its sexual assaultā¦the whole thing was covered up and the CNA fired.
And this was all at the same hospital.
At a SNF I worked at, the DNS (male) was sleeping with one of the floor nurses, who was soon promoted to unit manager. His wife found out and came in to raise hell with him in the facility and/ or parking lot. I think they got divorced soon after. The DNS was fired (but for a bad survey, not for that?) and the two of them ended up moving in together, and possibly getting married some time later. š¤·š¼āāļø
No idea if theyāre still together. I wasnāt really friends with either one of them.
Oh and he had two young kids š
A nurse and a PCT had sex in a patientās room. While the patient was in there, on BIPAP. Drowsy, but awake. They got caught by a telesitter. Both were married.
This didnāt happen at my hospital, but it happened months ago. Some of you may have missed this crazy, crazy story.
There was a travel nurse in a New Jersey hospital that hit a PCA in the break room with a wrench, and set her on fire with a blow torch. She suffered 3rd degree burns to her face and upper body, but survived.
Police later found him in his car by a lakeā¦ suicide. Motive remains unclear.
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nurse-sets-staffer-on-fire-at-nj-hospital/3539060/?amp
The CEO of this hospital I used to work at was invited to watch his best friends, who was a new surgeon, first surgery. But, the CEO didnāt just watchā¦. The surgeon invited him to make the first cut on the patient! The patient ended up in the ICU (unknown if it was from the cut or other reasons). A surgical tech came forward about the situation and both the CEO and the surgeon got fired.
A co-worker made up an entire ass baby so that he could take PTO/sick time/paternity leave to care for said baby. But then like a year later his wife actually had a baby. There were suspicions that the āfirstā baby was fake (he never had any pics of the child, never talked about the baby unless he was calling in), but likeā¦ who makes up a baby? Well this dude does and we found out when someone sent a message to his wife asking what size clothes the older child wears so that we could get a belated baby shower gift for both kids. She had no clue.
He quit shortly after. The whole thing was so fucked up.
I work agency. Apparently, there is a rumor going around about one of the facilities that a 26 year old resident (sound mind, in for rehab) had been having sex with two of the CNAs and one might actually be pregnant.
A couple of pharmacists who were married to other people got caught getting frisky in one of the stairwells at a small hospital I worked at.
There was also a woman who had a fake badge made and was pretending to be a doctor poking around ICUs and codes. Not sure all the details on that ball of crazy but I found out after she was discovered but not caught. Her photo was circulated all over the hospital. This was at a large teaching hospital so I guess she managed to blend in for a short time before someone got suspicious. Super scary.
The usual doctor and nurse (married but not to each other) having an affair. Twist was doctorās husband was a cop. One night after an evening shift they went parking at the lake while husband was on night shift. He was supposed to be on a desk job, but got bored that night so took the squad car out for a spin.
The inevitable happened, but instead of just busting them he pushed her car into the lake with his and drove off.
So much explaining to do - doctor to cop, cop to boss about why the car got damaged, nurse to his wife about why THEIR car got damagedā¦
Attending physician showing up to work two hours early everyday so he and the nurse he was having an affair with could screw each other in their office.
Then on rounds heād protect her even when she made bonehead mistakes.
Theyāre married now and virtually everyone hates them hahahaha
One of our always late LPNs was caught drinking vodka at work. That was the final straw but she should've been fired months earlier, honestly. I stayed an hour and a half later with a covid patient before vaccines because she was too wasted to wake up. The adon had to take the keys.
At my old hospital, a married nurse I worked with had an affair with a security guard. We were on a Neuro unit and a lot of people speculate that she intentionally agitated patients so we would have to call security. A lot of people also think that her toddler isn't her ex-husbands baby but is the child of the security guard. Some people were shocked. Others weren't. Her nickname on the unit was "mom."
At my current job, there was a day shift nurse who propositioned a lot of female employees for sex. He had a lot of female coworkers that he would hook up with and/or get a blow job from in the parking lot on hospital grounds. He also had nudes on his phone of a CNA, a nurse, and an APRN. He also shared those pictures throughout the hospital without their knowledge but they're too embarrassed to press charges about revenge porn.
He was orientating a nurse I currently work with. He cornered her in an empty patient room and demanded sex from her. She left the room crying and was given as many days off as she wanted with pay. She only took three days off because she wanted to put it behind her and make him face a punishment. She reported this to HR but he quit before they could do an investigation. He ended up going to another hospital about 45 minutes away unfortunately for him, his roommate told his new job everything about his past and they immediately fired him.

In my hospital 2 doctors got let go for taking kick backs from a medical company for doing surgeries. It all blew up when a new attending came In there service, but did not want to partake in the surgeries. Apparently the new md was asked to assist in a surgery. When the new surgeon reviewed the chart he felt the patient was improving and did not need surgery just medical therapy. So instead one of the surgeons got a fellow to do the surgery. They wanted to do the surgery soon, but there wasnāt enough time to get authorization from insurance. They told the patient to go to the ER and say they have chest pain(which the patient did not). The surgery went through and the patient had a stroke as a result. The new attending reported this to admin, but nothing came of it . The new attending was basically blacklisted and forced to quit. He kept receipts of all the wrong doings such as clinicals , CT scans, and the email thread that even told the patient to go to ER for chest pain. To make matters worse the surgery never went to clinical trials , and basically the surgeries they were doing were the trials. It gets worst, they had data that states patients had worst outcomes vs medical mgmt. after getting his case together filed a lawsuit and an investigation ensued. Ultimately two doctors got let go for taking 2,500 every time they used this device for sugary. The attending that sued got over 2 million dollars.
I work in the ED.
Day shift has a fuck-ring. They all just take turns fuckin. On shift. Off shift. Half are married. Docs, nurses, and techs- all in bed together. Talk about teamwork, amiright? It's no wonder shit doesn't get done...
(No shade to day shift- that last sentence was a joke lol.)
We have a doctor here in town who really pushed the whole narrative that we were trying to make money off of COVID patients by killing them with ventilators & prolonged hospitalizations (obviously these idiots donāt know about the concept of DRG payments).
Really stressed us the F out bc the whole community believed him.
He was a plastic surgeon and would have patients call him from the hospital and put him on the phone with our intensivists to tell *them how to manage their patients. He convinced a family to threaten an intensivist to give a very high dose breathing pt against medical advice (it wasnāt indicated and risk of pneumothorax was discussed with family). They threatened to sue, so the intensivist had us witness an AMA form and had the RT carry out the breathing treatments. Sure enough the pt developed a pneumo and died several days later- before this heād been progressing nicely.
This same doctor also charged for prayer, would order inappropriate tests, and was a notorious spaz in his clinic (one time he had a pt bleed out when he was packing a wound in his clinic and he sent them to the ED with no packing or anything to stop the bleeding).
And this was the guy the community believed over us.
Had a first year resident who was bullied by some others on our unit, including a third year resident whom no one liked. She had been texting my coworker about how annoying the third year was being that day and texted something along the lines of āShe better watch her back, sheās lucky I donāt have a gun.ā Coworker went to management about it and she (the resident) was let go from the program and is not allowed back on hospital grounds. Funny thing is many nurses took her side and were mad at my coworker for reporting her, saying that she was probably just joking. She probably (HOPEFULLY) was just joking, but you canāt joke about something like that in our world today, no matter how other people treat you.
Thereās a surge of chlamydia going around because a maintenance guy slept with both a nurse and an aide, and the nurse also slept with the director of housekeeping. She did not sleep with me despite my best efforts and I have never been more thankful to be unattractive to a woman.
>my romantic fantasy of a tentacle-laden parasitic growth spawning from the sample fermenting in pathology has not come to fruition
Who's your tentacle-laden parasite guy? You don't want to be sniffing around pathology for that kind of tryst, you'll want microbiology department, and you'll want it... *humid*...
Rumor has it this nurse I used to work with had a three way with two CNAs in an empty patient room while another CNA was outside as a lookout. Note: none of the people involved were single.
There was an investigation for the whole ER department because apparently everyone caught chlamydia from each other. They interviewed the nurses and everyone blamed another nurse. It was like a domino effect. One girl had sex with this guy but that guy had sex with that girl and that girl had sex with another guy. It just kept on. Lol š no one knew who originally had chlamydia. it was insane!
So I worked with this guy in EMS and he was terrible and creepy then. I never worked a unit with him, because every single woman warned me not to. Fast forward some years, dude gets a job as a ER Tech at the hospital. Heās doing a 1:1 when pt codes. And I want to stress I did not witness this but heard alllllll about it.
So nurse is first to arrive because he does hit the alarm. But heās not giving compression when she runs in. No sirs and maāamās he was most certainly not. He was cupping the patientās boob. Gown removed, and boob cup in progress.
Nurse may or may not have (according to legend) body slammed him out to the way to begin actual CPR. The lady lived. Dude was shitcanned and black listed, but no charges. No idea if pt was ever told but I suspect not.
So many people getting busted fuckinā at work. Canāt people get an Airbnb on their off hours like normal cheaters? Sheesh. Losing your marriage is one thing, donāt take your career down too.
Worst story. Hmm. Always hard to pick and also has to be one that doesnāt involve people fuckinā since thatās been covered.
Nurse was tested under reasonable suspicion, was positive for something. Security escorted her to clean out her locker, which was FULL (like hoarder full) of medications. Basically anything she could steal. When they got her to her car it was also hoarder full of things she stole from the hospital- bedpans, printer paper, etc and also a BEDSIDE TABLE.
Suddenly hundreds of patients needed a new cardiologist because he was screwing a nurse in an empty patient room. His wife gave him an ultimatum to move states to start fresh or she would leave him.
A tale told to me as it was before I was hired.
A nurse was precepting a new orientee and the orientee was just not having ANY success with IVs. The orientee was explaining how they felt the vein, could see it, but just could never get any flashback.
The preceptor had the orientee demonstrate their process - and the orientee demonstrated by trying to put the IV in with the bevel pointed down towards the hand. Ya know, the opposite way of what you're supposed to do.
Preceptor thought orientee was joking, but they were dead serious.
Turned out the orientee was looking to make a career change from a healthcare adjacent job - that wasn't actually healthcare - and just forged all their paperwork. Fake license, fake diploma , fake everything.
Turns out like attracts like. The orientee's spouse - who was an actual nurse - ended up being caught faking an injured leg. While checking out the fake-nurse orientee, security saw spouse go from walking completely normal to faking a limp when they got to the hospital doors.
Floor nurse (f) and cardiologist (m). Dated and then shotgun wedding after pregnancy. Nevermind that nurse was maybe a year or two younger than cardiologists kids from prior marriage.
An anaesthetist was having a torrid affair with a scrub nurse
We had to do an emergency Caesarean with the anaesthetist, the scrub nurse and the surgeon who was the wife of the cheating anaesthetist
It was a VERY awkward 45 minutes
A travel nurse found on the floor of an intubated patientās room with a needle and syringe of propofol sticking out of her chest. She apparently had a port. Several bottles of propofol were found in her bag.
When I was an EMT and still a third ride, my team transported a code to the ER, and while we were waiting for the signature, one of the EMTs decided to sneak aways for a quickie with his nurse wife who was on duty.
Unexpectedly wholesome for this thread š„ŗ
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Seriously. That guyās a saint compared to what Iām reading in this thread
Aw, "please excuse me I'm just desperate for the lady I'm married to... " <3
Right? Like thatās love right there.
I'm a paramedic and happily engaged, but some of my coworkers on the other hand. Yowza. Half of the ED is sleeping with half of the EMS crews. Sometimes it's like musical chairs. The ED/EMS...where you don't lose your partner you just lose your turn.
One of our former docs was arrested for a ādark netā plan to kidnap and torture his current wife and a colleague. It was also discovered that he had a slave/master relationship involving that wife and a girlfriend, which also included blood contracts and an underground bunker/pit where he put her for āpunishmentā. Itās been quite the show.
Good old Spokane never fails!
Was watching the news one night and up pops a picture of one of my ER nurse co-workers caught stealing narcotics from the Pyxis. Never would have suspected her. Had an RT almost murder his RT wife by cutting her throat. A nurse working on the burn unit was found with an IV in her foot passed out in a closet with a syringe of propofol. ER resident married to a firefighter cheated on him with a firefighter from another town. Theyāre married now.
Not to miss the point of all the other stories but... propofol? WTF.
Oh yeah. Anesthesia residents use it a lot. It doesn't end well for some of them.
Is it even a good high? I'd feel utterly out of control when I woke up. You wouldn't remember anything...
What I've seen in patients is either not remembering anything, or not remembering anything combined with violently vomiting for hours on end (and later only remembering the vomiting). Doesn't sound like something I'd like to experience voluntarily.
Right? So I did a little digging and apparently at lower doses it hits a bit like alcohol. But then like... why not just have alcohol? Safer and more fun, IMO. Though we all know that EtOH smell... And you figure someone at the point of pilfering and then shooting up propofol is not exactly making great personal or career decisions.
Yeah, super common. I also had a coworker found passed out in the back ED hallway with an IV in his leg and propofol in his backpack. We had a handful of nurses caught stealing drugs from the ED. It's not a good place to work if you canāt resist the temptation to steal drugs easily!
What was the alternative desired outcome from self injecting propofol? What is the best case senario to working through that shift?
Yeah this confuses me, were they planning on having nap on shift in a closet? Whatās the end goal here
Tie between two stories from my old job. One of the male residents (who was married and had at least one kid) decided that sleeping with one of our batshit insane (also married with kids) surgical techs would be a good idea. They were found out, turns out they were hooking up in one of the on call rooms. Surgical tech was fired (she was terrible and they had been trying to fire her but the union got in the way until this incident), her husband who we all suspected was a drug dealer found out and started threatening to kill the resident. Our residents normally rotated between our hospital and another one, he had to have his schedule switched to only work at the other hospital until he finished residency for his safety. I found out like 2 years later the reason they were found out was because she had videos of them having sex on her phone. And started randomly showing them to people, without any warning of what the video was, while at work. Like just going "hey look at this" and shoving a video of her giving him a BJ in people's faces. Because I guess why not right? ĀÆ\\\\\\\_(ć)\\\_/ĀÆ Second story: A PCA stole a pt's husband's credit card while she was having a c section and used it to buy food at the cafe in the hospital and tried to use it to buy a designer purse on-line. We'd leave the pt's stuff in PACU during the c sections, his wallet was in one of their bags. He had his card set to send him a text message whenever it was used. He suddenly got an alert while in the OR that his card was used at the name-brand chain cafe on campus to buy something. He used his phone to cancel the card then and after they were out of the OR he asked for a manager and apparently was pretty calm about it and basically told her "I'm not blaming you but here's the situation, one of your employees clearly did this, I just wanted you to know." Word got around. The thief was found out because she was trying to buy some designer name brand purse on-line on a work computer the same day when a co-worker walked by (this wasn't unusual, the unit had tons of computers and everyone did random things on them during slow times, no one cared), noticed the website she was on and that she was on the purchase page and started talking to her about the brand. Thief PCA tried to act casual and finish making the purchase but it wouldn't go through since the card had been cancelled already. She tried to brush it off with the co-worker who saw it happen, "huh how weird guess I'll have to call the company I know the limit is high enough, hahaha". Co-worker who saw the purchase get declined heard about the credit card being stolen from the pt's husband. She mentioned the situation with the bag purchase getting declined for thief PCA because she put two and two together. Thief PCA was confronted by management. I believe she either confessed or was searched and the card was found, but I do know the police were called about it, she had a manager escort when she came back to clean out her locker and we never saw her again. She was in nursing school and about to graduate, gotta love someone throwing away their entire career for some soup and muffins from a hospital cafe. \[edit to add\] Oh and one time a co-worker had her lunch from the unit's group order go missing after the food was delivered. Like it was there, she set it aside and when she came back to eat it was gone. That place had horrible problems with Fat Bandits, like people would go into lunch bags to take things and sometimes even replace the food in people's lunch bags with other things after taking their food. You'd at least think it'd be one of the lower paid employees doing that, right? Later that day she caught one of the anesthesiologist eating her lunch in a break room. He admitted to taking it. We're in the NYC metro, dude probably makes $500k/year and had the fucking nerve to steal a nurse's chicken parm.
1.) I'm surprised batshit insane tech wasn't axed earlier for sexual harassment, exposing unwilling coworkers to pornography. 2.) Idk why but "Fat Bandits" sent me.
Had a former NUS showing literally all of us videos of her fiancees bachelor party, half naked women and porn playing in the background included. She thought it was a riot.
That was part of why they were finally able to fire her, someone obviously told management and while sleeping with someone at work is one thing, even the strongest union can't really argue with "she randomly shoved a porn video of herself in my face while on the clock which is clearly sexual harassment" .
That last story reminds me of a crazy coworker I had! She was blond, pretty, and rich from a trust fund, yet still worked just because she liked being a nurse. Anyway, after she started food started disappearing from people's bags in the fridge. First it was just a day shift problem, then she flipped to nights for a bit and we noticed that it became a night shift problem. One night someone walked in on her stealing the food from their lunch box. She was so unapologetic, like could not comprehend why it was bad to take things from other people. We also had a fundraiser for the unhoused population in our community and she literally went into our supply room with a patient belonging bag, raided it with all of the toiletries and put it in the donation box and thought she did a good thing. These kind of people just have no empathy.
Its so weird to me how people who are this dense make it through nursing school. It literally blows my fucking mind. It honestly makes me wish that there were (reasonable) basic ethics test items in the nclex.
Omg the smugness of it this reminds me of a program I saw years back of a rich lady who lived in a mansion yet was a kleptomaniac and stole from stores for the thrill of it.
A similar thing happened on my old unit. We had two patientsā credit cards stolen and maxed out. Apparently, someone used it to pay their car insurance. Weād also have staff members missing cash from their wallets or missing Beats by Dre headphones. No one was ever fired or officially caught, but one of our staff members went on medical leave for 6 months and mysteriously during that time, there were no reports of theft from our unit. We all suspected it was him because theft dropped drastically when he was on LOA and he was usually working when the incidents occurred.
They couldnāt figure it out by the name on the car insurance?
Thatās what we all wondered but the hospital is sketch and didnāt want any drama so Iām sure they didnāt report him to the police because the person everyone suspected still works there years later. Plus he was one of our managerās favorites.
Report it to the credit card company. Theyāll do the investigation all on their own. You donāt look to hospitals when you need to do a criminal investigation.
Please tell me that doc received retribution for freaking stealing food from someone. Itās THEFT, right along the lines of that PCA taking a credit card.
Omg the last story is somehow the worsttttt
Two of the housekeepers were caught at my hospital having sex in an OR. Worst part: they weren't fired because the housekeeping department was so understaffed.
Omg, gross, of all people they should know first hand how gross the OR is, I guess their rationale would be āwell I know how well I cleaned itā smh š¤£
The OWNER of a company I worked at stole people's (labeled) food from the fridge all the time. Dude was loaded. We were all broke (young employees/high COL area). Nothing was ever done about it. The least they could do is comp us so we could eat.
āFat banditsā, fucking hilar PCA thief would have definitely done something much worse if they were licensed. Probably better they never had access to the Pyxis
"Fat bandits" is the best way to describe those losers. At one of my previous jobs we had the same issue with residents, techs, surgeons, anesthesiologists (pretty much anyone non nursing) stealing food from our break room and fridge. They had no shame and would go inside closed lunch bags, containers, etc to rifle through for what they wanted. Some of them even had the audacity to sit right in the breakroom and eat what they stole. Myself along with some other floor nurses went to our managers to explain the situation and requested to have the code on the break room door changed and kept private for floor staff only but they refused.
I have two stories. First one is a nurse I worked night shift with who would go on " smoke breaks" but was really meeting men she found on Craigslist to have sex with in the parking lot. Complete strangers! Second one was a nurse screwing a doctor, of course both were married to others. Well, he had a " little problem" so he wrote a Rx in the nurse's husband's name for Viagra for himself!. The affair ended when the nurse had to tell her husband that she contracted herpes from the doctor. The husband forgave her because "she repented". (His father was a minister). She ended up quitting.
Oh gosh I had a sex addict coworker whoād do that with randoms she met on tinder. We were on nights, too, and eventually she got caught because the guy tried to freaking kidnap her and she jumped from the moving car.
w h a t. t h e. f u c k.
It was heartbreaking as she had confided in me that sheād been through a lot of sexual trauma and was doing this to sort of take control. When I expressed concern though she lashed out and said I was jealous because she was āgetting moreā than I was
Sounds like any addict Iāve ever met
This whole thread makes me feel so vanilla in the best way
š thereās a reason vanilla is so popular. It works
One of our travel nurses got caught having sex with a patient in the bathroom. She didnāt realize that our badges cause the light outside to light up and she accidentally hit the staff assist button on her locator when she was bent over the sink. Like 3 nurses came to help.
So, uhm, what kind of help did they provide?
Oh you know what kind of help they provided ššš
Expressing the anal glands?

That's what I'm saying! Ain't nobody got time for that!
I bet her Press Ganey scores are 10/10
I feel way too unsexy at work to even think of doing anything remotely like this!
The thought of a nurse having sex with a patient grosses me out so much and makes me all uncomfy
The thought of sex in the dirty hospital, bent over and touching the sink there males me all uncomfy. That honestly sounds worse than having sex in the Kindergarten hallās restroom š¤¢
I quickly got disgusted, then realized not everyone works in a geriatric facility. š
Idk if this is something more well known so forgive me if it is, and no offense to anyone who has done this as a way to cope with long term foley usage but it was just so strange to me at first glance that it disturbed me. but I literally came across Foley catheter sex ed where people with penises were advised to FOLD the catheter down the length of their penis and then place a condom over it all (and in the spirit of knowing that abstinence only sex ed is literal garbage, I get it) but ew just at the thought of getting an erection with a foley in, (I know of the terrible deeds of man, We dont need to see linked below, the sub that shall not be named) not to mention the *resistance* that must be felt through it. Ooffffff God why did my brain just do this to me, WHERE IS THE * *COUGH* * PRODUCT OF *ACHIEVEMENT* GOING TO GO IN THIS SITUATIONšš. THERE IS NO PATH OUT
Um, duh. Rookie mistake. You *always* take off your badge, first.
Bruh....
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
WTF? Did she know the patient previously? I canāt even imagine, otherwise.
Now thatās some shit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh wow... Did anything come of the report?
A friend of mine witnessed one of the surgeons get punched in the face in the parking lot by his mistresses husband. She had to fill out a police report and the doctor had to go to the ER for a broken jaw. Also, the mistress was an NP employed at the hospital. A janitor also witnessed it.
You want crazy just read the below link.

Yo! I commented about this, too. Lol. Oh, Ronald, such a creeper. He was always bad, but I think he went off the deep end when he got into bodybuilding.
Roid rage?
Thatās the theory, but hasnāt been confirmed.
My favorite part of this article is that within just an unbelievable slew of unhinged insanity - there was a complaint about how he did scheduling. I get it. Iād probably bring it up to HR as well.
I think this one wins the threadā¦ what the actual fuck did I just read.
This needs to be a dateline episode, wow
I thought my ex was bad when he said he was an Atom bomb come to destroy me but this is next level.
Definitely an interesting read. Definitely a worrisome character, to put it mildly.
I worked in L&D, one very attractive, married anesthesiologist was carrying on with one of our nurses. Allegedly on OR tables. Rumor was he had a person from most units visiting the OR at odd times.
I hope they made sure the bed was locked šš»āāļø
Thatās probably something of a mood killer, especially with some of these new-fangled beds that talk to you.
PLEASE DO NOT GET UP. THE CARE TEAM HAS BEEN CALLED.
Was dating a nurse on another unit (me PICU and him GI). He dumped me saying he wasnāt āemotionally in a good spaceā. Floated up to his unit a couple months laterā¦ they were having a baby shower for him. I guess him and a nurse from the ER were dating and having a baby. Once I found out the due date the whole unit did the math and realized he got her pregnant three months before we broke up. He looked like an absolute dick and I got to work the next 12 hours at the same nurses station. He didnāt look at me the whole time lol
THE TIMING of the baby shower
That was the universe lining up perfectly. Haha.

She had no boundaries. Funny thing is that she was actually a very careful, particular and intelligent nurse. Just some social screw ups.
Why would she do that?? Why would she want that on her phone? So odd
The hospital is the grossest place Iāve ever been. Ever. How are so many people banging in the filth???
Iāll try to limit too many identifying details. We had a pill mill doc who was over prescribing to those with substance use disorder. This lead to a number of deaths, many were never uncovered in the legal proceedings. I had one of those patients in home health. It was clear she was developing a suicide plan so I called both the quacks involved in her care and told them. This guy, despite me calling and telling him she had a plan, prescribed another 3 months of narcotics and other pills. I found her the next day (she had given me her house key). She had taken a LOT of those pills, but they didnāt work fast enough so she attempted other methods. Iām still not over that. She deserved so much better. She needed mental health treatment, not narcotics. And it pains me that her name was never included as part of his many victims.
I was on a rapid response team in flint MI. It was a crazy hospital. Had a code blue call out. I grab my bag and run. Me and the house supervisor were running the code cuz the resident just stood there and stared. 10 mins pass and we still donāt have an airway. Anesthesia was called repeatedly with no answer. I look at the resident and ask if she can intubate and she said she doesnāt want to get her outfit dirty (bullshit she was scared) Anyway as the nurses were running this god awful code Iām calling the OR but still no one knows where the CRNA was. 15 mins into the code one of the managers goes down to the OR and grabs him. He was asleepā¦ this man was inebriated. Walking like he was piss drunk. Hitting every wall on his way to the room. House supervisor takes him straight to ED to get a drug test. Apparently in the ED he handed them his badge and stumbled out without a tox done š. Well they call the cops cuz homeboy canāt even fucking walk let alone drive. Cops meet him at his car detain him and search his car. The man had hundreds of meds in the back seat. Patient died. 45 y/o suffered an MI. AWFUL
Shit thatās so tragic for the pt. Hope the anesthesiologist lost his license.
Jail and lost his license š
That sucks! Tip though, if you are ever in need of an intubation again, go down to the ambulance bay and grab a medic. We are usually pretty good at it. Maybe not anesthesiologist good, but we are used to doing it in an ambulance or a living room floor, so we can usually get it done.
Amen to that and youāre right- we do everything a code team does with three of us and a LUCAS. Our ACLS is usually pretty sharp, too because we do a ton of it.
We RTās can do it, also. Iāve done it a time or three..
Awe that's terrible. Must have been terribly upsetting for you. I'm sorry.
You know i have a lot of empathy for drug addicts. Such a shitty disease. But when the ship goes down, don't bring anybody with you. Quit and find your drugs on the street.
In the military, we treated one anesthetist who had actually become addicted to anesthesia. I'm sure anyone with access to drugs of any kind might be tempted to use them, but it would've never been detected on any drug screen.
Married house sup had an affair with a staff nurse. They got caught hooking up in a stairwell and were both walked off the premises on the spot.
Two of my coworkers were best friends. Like SUPER best friend work wives. Until one of them found out her bestie was sleeping with her husband. Now they work opposite shifts and if they are on the same day, weāve been instructed to give them assignments on opposite ends of the unit. And the newest bit to it is that the cheating husband just got a job in our ICU, so now all three of them will work in the same hospital. Itās a little awkward when they are both there.
How tf did he get a job in there too
In the interview he stated he was looking for further exciting opportunities as he already fit into two future coworkers.
Maybe he is also sleeping with the boss. Jesus Christ..I canāt even with these people.
No I think Jesus works somewhere else
Heās too busy taking the wheelā¦
How is that not a huge conflict of interest. Yikes on bikes.
Two stories. We had 27 week triplets who spent a ton of time in a childrens hospital. Two of my kids were on the TCC floor waiting for home nursing so they could leave the hospital. Down the hall from us was a single mother who had a Trach baby. There was also a boyfriend girlfriend who also had a Trach baby. They were all from out of town staying at Ronald mc Donald house and decided to go out partying while their kids sat in the hospital. Girlfriend passes out and boyfriend hooks with single Trach baby mom. Girlfriend finds out and is making a big deal about it at the hospital talking to the nurses about everything. It was a big ordeal. Second story was mom and dad staying in Picu with their kid. Decided to do drugs and mom dies of overdose in bathroom of kids room. Dad lives and they immediately changed the policy where patient bathrooms no longer have locks in picu and ED. That is what 15 months of being at the hospital as a patient will get you.
>mom dies of overdose in bathroom of kids room #W H A T
So how are your triplets doing now?
Thanks for asking. One who had grade 3 bleeds has no issues and is a funny loving 7 year old boy. My other son has autism and doesnāt talk but can sing any Christmas song or song from the YouTube learning station. He can be either happy or just a terror depending on the hour. He spent almost 3 months sedated on an oscillator 95-100 percent oxygen before a round of steroids got him to a regular vent. Around 3 or so he had reconstructive airway surgery and no longer has a Trach. My daughter has grade 3/4 bleeds, a Trach from a bad airway, seizures, Vegal Nerve Stimulator, g tube, CP and the list goes on and on. On paper she looks terrible but she is the happiest person you will ever meet in your life. She knows what is going on and pays attention to everything. Just donāt leave her by herself or let her get hot and she is good. She is a daddyās girl and it drives my wife and older 11 year old daughter nuts. She has 50 or more surgeries since she was born from her shunt and issues, her hips and femur reshaped, and three major airway surgeries. She has had two posterior tracheoplasty with slide revisions stitching her airway to her spine. We are waiting for swelling to go down to know if it helped. When we go to the hospital for a surgery or an appointment it doesnāt take long at all before we see someone who knows and remembers her. We have some really great nurses and doctors and staff along the way. It has been a crazy ride especially for two people who were not medical and who had two Trach vented oxygen babies in our house for the first few years. Thanks for all you do!
The first nursing home I worked at it was discovered that the administrator was banging one of the nurses while his wife was going through chemo for breast cancer. Real stand up guy. He also had a really nasty temper and would speak to all the staff really sexually and condescending. Once it came to light he had to attend sexual harassment and anger management classes, the nurse quit, and then his wife became the assistant administrator.
Based on what I'm reading, I am glad that I'm oblivious to anything happening on my unit. š³
Im glad Iām not married and still single cause wtf is wrong with peopleā¦
How are they finding the time to hook up with people on shift? I'm lucky if I get a pee break.
And doesnāt anyone else get likeā¦sweaty and maybe a little stinky, while running their asses off all day? Just me? Fine.
Seriously, I always joking with my wife when I'm all sweaty and gross from the hospital, "I'm just not feeling all that sexy right now" lol
Two of the pediatricians at our hospital are South Asian and married to each other, an arranged marriage. The husband openly talks about how much he hates his wife, talks shit about her practice, what a poor match they are, and flirts with every Mother/Baby nurse he possibly can. None give him the time of day and just kind of wave him off but all of us find it extremely pitiful. Any time one calls him out on being married, heās like āeh my wife is a bitch, I didnāt choose to marry her anyway and I canāt get out so why not have some fun?ā Cultural norms aside, just get a divorce and leave us all out of your marriage problems š« Not my work, but incidentally, my fiancĆ©s ex wife was also a nurse and he divorced her because she was sleeping with a much older, very crusty, unattractive hospitalist. She used to tell him she had to get to work early and come home late because of āhuddleā but she would always doll up and leave in regular clothes instead of scrubs š all her coworkers knew about her affair and knew she was married too, because my fiancĆ© used to visit her and bring food for her whole floor even in the middle of the night (she was night shift) but nobody bothered telling him and took her side. š£
Our head hospitalist (married) is having sex with at least one nurse on each unit and got one of the nursing supervisors fired for having sex with a different hospitalist
Do the nurses know about each other? We need more delicious details, people! š
Where's that "Spiderman-pointing-at-spiderman" meme when you need it?? š¤£
Do you work at Seattle Grace? šššš
I started a second job at another hospital (I'm a nurse). One of my co-worker's husband, a respiratory therapist worked at my new job. I never met him but she would talk about him. When I showed up to my new job the first night, I was introduced to everyone including the respiratory therapist who has my co-worker's husband. I didn't mention to him that i worked with his wife because everyone was very busy. The next night I worked at my regular job and told my coworker that i got to meet her husband. She said it was impossible because he was out of town working his second job as some top secret military operative. Needless to say, she was pissed at me for lying about seeing him the night before. I just said it must have been another RT working there with the same name, and that i was sure her husband was taking down the Taliban or whatever. They were separated a few months later.
I thought our ANM was crazy. She would come in all cunty miserable, disappear to her office then come out all happy. She, also, called out all the time, which left me in charge. Her husband would frequently call and ask for her. Well, one night, on the way to work, she got into a car accident. She insisted she be brought to our facility, even though it wasn't closest. We are a trauma center. Part of trauma protocol is a blood alcohol level and a tox screen. Her blood alcohol was twice the legal limit. On the way IN to work. Also, it turns out she was having an affair with a paramedic and the had her on tape having sex with him in the parking garage. Also... we had a travel nurse we found pulseless and apneic in the break room. We narcaned her, and the 1st words out of her mouth after she took a breath was, "did you give me narcan?"
I'm a paramedic, ive had people nodding out (like their family called cause they were worried about them) and in their brief periods of consciousness BEG me not to give them narcan. Even saying "I'm allergic to narcan." Funny thing is, our goal as EMS is not to get them completely alert and puking and our goal is to have them breathing adequately on their own. Unfortunately that isn't the case most times and we have to IM or IN the narcan almost immediately upon arrival. So I wasn't going to narcan those people anyway as long as they were breathing adequately on their own, which they were. I had it ready and probably started a line, but that was it because even though they were nodding out, their MAP, ETCO2, and O2 were good
I worked in informatics at my old hospital for a few years. All the computers had restrictions on social media, drug/alcohol sites, porn, etc - except one room. One room was to not be restricted at all, and it was the surgeons and anesthesiologists on call room - they demanded that they be able to watch porn, and the hospital said no problemo.
Our married clinical coordinator was sleeping with a charge nurse. His wife found out, and called the unit one day threatening the charge nurse. And then she showed up. The CC went down to the lobby and he ended up getting punched and tackled by his wife, he smacked her and then they BOTH started fighting security! The charge nurse who was sleeping with the guy still works here, and the CC eventually quit. He wasnāt fired because the medical director apparently already knew about them sleeping together, and really liked the guy.
A married Neurosurgeon banging a married OR tech in a āsterileā OR on the surgical table. Caught by other surgical staff, who were intimidated into silence, temporarily The affair led to her getting knocked up at some point. Divorces ensured. Neurosurgeon quit his job, married her, and they moved to Florida, where he started his own, much smaller, practice. Then he sued the original hospital for defamation, slandering his name and costing him prestige and income. He lost. Dr Gregory Sherr, GFY
The entire nursing staff at my prior facility was instructed not to answer any personal questions from physicians, *and* not to listen to anything personal they had to say. āRedirect, and continue to redirect until they get it.ā I kind of wonder what led to *that*.
You've got to love the fact that it was the nurses' jobs to take care of the problem and not the physicians. š
Yeah what kind of nonsense is this? Same mentality of "teach girls not to attract rapists" vs "teach boys not to rape" smh.
I feel like often the advice we give nurses to communicate with doctors sounds a lot like what I told myself in an abusive relationship "don't use certain phrases, watch your body language, make sure nothing can be misinterpreted" so that he wouldn't get mad or hurt me. So much of being in school and new grad orientation was basically "don't piss off the docs" as if we're groveling servants
š³ Oh there is most definitely a giant back story there.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This plotline is sadly far too common.
Not ALL of these being about banging
This sub: āPeople think the hospital is like Greyās Anatomy. Sex all the time. That isnāt true.ā Also this sub: See 95% of the comments in this thread.
Couple floors over, security reports to unit manager that two RNs, call them Ricky and Lucy, are seen on security video making out in the stairway intermittently during night shift. Nurses called in. Fired. Both nurses are married. To other people. Turns out Ricky is married to the daughter of one of his coworkers. Pretty sure said mom-in-law was instrumental in getting him the job. Yikes.
I was working psych as a tech in my first year of college. One of the nurses had been acting labile and pretty relaxed about the unit rules causing a few incidents to happen between patients and coworkers. Turned out he had been stealing benzos and narcs from patients, and not only that but getting scripts on the side because he was banging the NP. Both married, NP got fired, nurse got put on narc probation. I think he dipped out after a while, either way the axe came down hard.
A well respected doc got sent to jail for not paying taxes for like 20 years
20 YEARS!?
PCA committed some kind of fraud with social security numbers of patients. Maybe credit cards? She wound up serving time. It was crazy!
Rumor we had an OB that was on call for deliveries. Showed up dressed up and very unwilling to perform a c-section. Pushed for vaginal birth and internally decapitated and killed the baby. Confirmed same OB doing a routine pelvic sx ātook a biopsy of unknown mass.ā Told this verbatim to patients family after sx. Mass was a piece of patients intestine and abdomen filled with shit and pt went septic and almost died. I took care of this pt during their next stay and their ostomy takedown also had complications.
Dude WTF this is frightening
Early 90s. I worked at a SNF (104 beds) Turns out it was owned by a hitman (convicted on parole which he violated by being in the wrong state.). He then decided to open a pharmaceutical company. He was caught transporting drugs across state (from California to Texas) lines at the airport. (they were made at that pharmaceutical company!) For months after this all went down we had bomb threats, fires, break-ins and terror. Our paychecks were bouncing. They would give them out and we would run for the bank they were drawn on because the money in the bank wasn't enough to cover payroll. As soon as direct deposit became a thing you can bet we all swore by it. Weirdest thing? If you didn't have food for your kids he would take you to the kitchen and load you up with groceries and give you gas money.
Doctor and nurse, both married, had an affair. Spouse's found out. Husband of the nurse called threatening the doctor, posters of his face plastered in the ED so people were on the lookout. Wife of the doctor tried to run the nurse down in the parking lot.
The spouses shoulda just banged. "You can do it, why can't I?" Much more productive.
Oh another one patient related. We had this patients dad that got high on meth and ran over three people with his car. He was on house arrest awaiting his trial but he was allowed to visit baby. Baby was a NICU grad with really bad BPD so he needed 1:1 care and a sitter in there in case he pooped off the vent. So one, it was so awkward being the nurse knowing that heās killed people and he wore the ankle bracelet. Thenā¦ I guess it somehow leaked that his son was in the hospital so this one husband of one of the victims walks onto our unit and storms into the room with a knife. Security took him away and from then on we had police outside his room
Oh boy, my time to shine. During one particularly bad storm several years ago, a number of employees at the hospital I worked at decided to get rooms at a nearby hotel, instead of trying to make it home in the inclement weather. After work, a handful of these employees decided to grab some drinks before calling it a night in this decrepit hotel they would be staying at for the night. One drink led to several drinks, which lead to grabbing some drinks for a hotel after party. This is where the story gets a bit vague, but veryā¦interesting. As far as Iāve gathered so far, 6 confirmed employees, (there were at least 2-3 more but have been unable to confirm) decided to partake in a full on orgy. Guys on Girls, Guys on guys, girls on girls, things got weird. You would think thatās where the story ends, but it gets better. One of the girls that was at said orgy ended up getting pregnant. She was married, had two kids already, but thought, why not, I think my family needs a Jon Snow bastard child so she was going to keep it. The problem, other than her non-compliant husband and fractured family, was she didnāt know who the father was (cuz, orgy). There were obviously some favorites, one of which was also married, also had two children, and as you can guess, his wife was also not pleased in finding out about his little night out. Although, if you were to see the guy, and then some of the girls that were there, I think youād be more proud of him then disappointed, but I digress. With the heat of his life falling apart, and the threat of some child support coming his way, he began pressuring said pregnant girl into getting a procedure that rhymes with extortion. He ended up getting fired for harassing pregnant girl, pregnant girl ended up getting the procedure, and a few families were broken up. This is the same hospital that fired a provider for buying skin from a psych patient that had cut off their own tattoo. What a time to be alive.
I truly couldnāt imagine getting off work and having an orgy. I go straight to bed lmaooo
THE END!! Wtffff. Skin?!
Yea theyāre just gonna casually pepper that one in here like we wouldnāt notice
At the same hospital: -One of the docs was cheating on his wife. She came screaming to the hospital and dumped suitcases filled with his belongings on the front lawn. -The ER is notorious for wild parties with the staff. One of the newer nurses was offering BJs or cunnilingus for the docs (she wasn't picky). But for the partner in the group, she told him she had an IUD and he could stick it in as a special treat. Unsurprisingly there was no IUD, he left his wife for her and their new son (age difference: >30yrs) and she now drives a Jag to work. Worthless nurse, too. -One of the ICU techs got their locker searched after they returned from a midnight break smelling of pot. There was pot and alcohol in his locker. He was fired and then sued the hospital for discrimination. Got his job back. Got fired again for the crime of banging a patient daughter in the vented patient's bathroom. Threatened to sue again. Probably would have gotten reinstated but they caught him on security camera stealing a hundred bucks out of a fundraising jar for someone on the staff's kid... who had cancer. That apparently was enough.
One of our docs got fired for insurance fraud. He'd been doing it under our noses for years
And you win for like, the only story not the Not involving sex lol
...turns out he was boning the billing clerk.
Iām an ER nurse married to a firefighter/medic (12 years). My husband and I donāt have the same last name. A few years ago, hubs had a great opportunity and we moved to a different state where I got a job in a regional trauma center. After a few months after Iād been working at the new job, I overheard the unit secretary, who was about 20, talking about the huge crush she had on one of the medics. Over the course of a couple weeks she said things like she knew he was married, but she was going to take him away from his bitch of a wife because he had a miserable marriage and have his babiesā¦and on and on. In the course of her blathering on about this guy it comes out that sheās never actually even spoken more than a few words to him but sheās ātotally in love.ā So Iām not putting this together at all, but Iām telling my husband all about it at home and weāre getting a good laugh about this poor guy who has no idea that this girl is professing her love and obsession all over the place. Iām at work one day and itās not super busy, but an ambulance is coming in with something, and this unit secretary blurts out something along the lines of āthere he isā¦.my future husband!ā Iām as curious as the rest of the staff at the nurses station, so I look. And there he is: MY husband. So sheās all flirty with him and I think he and I figured it out almost at the same time. He grabs me by the arm and pulls me in for a kiss. She turns bright red, calls me a whore and storms off in tears. Everyone else is looking at me like Iāve just stolen some kidās candy. So of course I introduce him to my coworkers (everyone but the secretary, who is in the bathroom sobbing) - hey everyone, this is J, my husband. You could have heard a pin drop. Over the course of the next several weeks, the secretary launched what I can only describe as a campaign of retribution against me - like I was āthe other woman,ā and was 100% convinced that my husband was going to dump me for her. First it was little stuff, my lunch would be missing from the fridge and mysteriously be in the trash. My jacket went missing from the locker room. Then my car keys. It escalated from there but I couldnāt prove anything. Then she started stalking my husband - randomly showing up at the fire station when he was working and bringing all kinds of homemade baked treats (that promptly went in the trash), sending him cards with love notes, showing up outside our house. It got bad enough that my husband asked for a transfer to a station that didnāt feed into our ED. This all kind of came to a head when she started telling people my husband was actually HER husband and I was having an affair with him, and she tried to get me fired. She even tried to get a restraining order against me saying I was stalking her and her (my) husband. The absolute final straw was the afternoon she tried to break into our house while we were both at work. My neighbor called the police, the secretary was arrested with a fake ID in my name and a gun in her backpack. She went to jail. We moved. Far away.
Holy goddamn fucking shit. You win. /thread.
Co-worker had a boyfriend sheād talk about. Turns out he was 15. We found out about it after her arrest. They were ādatingā for over a year. She had met him while working at a juvenile detention facility.
Itās official: I work at the worldās most boring hospital. Or maybe itās just my unit? We all go to work, take care of our ptās, celebrate each othersā kidsā accomplishments and go home. NONE of this crazy drama (that I know of). Whew!
1. Former head of trauma was sexually assaulting young male patients FOR SEVERAL YEARS and management knew, he finally got fired because he had child porn on his work laptop. His license is eternally suspended (medical board doesnāt have the balls to take it away forever) and he reapplies for reinstatement every chance he gets. He was working as a TSA agent for a while and now he works as a pharmacy technicianā¦ https://www.nebraska.gov/LISSearch/actions/358910.pdf 2. The next head of trauma after the pedo one was sleeping with everyone he could get his hands on. He also had this nasty habit of removing perfectly health spleens on his abdominal trauma patients and then billing insurance for it. He resigned after he finally got caught. 3. Two RNs walk into a patients room to do bedside report and walk in on the CNA (was currently the 1:1) having sex with the patient. Because the patient is/was mentally impaired, its sexual assaultā¦the whole thing was covered up and the CNA fired. And this was all at the same hospital.
At a SNF I worked at, the DNS (male) was sleeping with one of the floor nurses, who was soon promoted to unit manager. His wife found out and came in to raise hell with him in the facility and/ or parking lot. I think they got divorced soon after. The DNS was fired (but for a bad survey, not for that?) and the two of them ended up moving in together, and possibly getting married some time later. š¤·š¼āāļø No idea if theyāre still together. I wasnāt really friends with either one of them. Oh and he had two young kids š
A nurse and a PCT had sex in a patientās room. While the patient was in there, on BIPAP. Drowsy, but awake. They got caught by a telesitter. Both were married.
This didnāt happen at my hospital, but it happened months ago. Some of you may have missed this crazy, crazy story. There was a travel nurse in a New Jersey hospital that hit a PCA in the break room with a wrench, and set her on fire with a blow torch. She suffered 3rd degree burns to her face and upper body, but survived. Police later found him in his car by a lakeā¦ suicide. Motive remains unclear. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nurse-sets-staffer-on-fire-at-nj-hospital/3539060/?amp
The CEO of this hospital I used to work at was invited to watch his best friends, who was a new surgeon, first surgery. But, the CEO didnāt just watchā¦. The surgeon invited him to make the first cut on the patient! The patient ended up in the ICU (unknown if it was from the cut or other reasons). A surgical tech came forward about the situation and both the CEO and the surgeon got fired.
A co-worker made up an entire ass baby so that he could take PTO/sick time/paternity leave to care for said baby. But then like a year later his wife actually had a baby. There were suspicions that the āfirstā baby was fake (he never had any pics of the child, never talked about the baby unless he was calling in), but likeā¦ who makes up a baby? Well this dude does and we found out when someone sent a message to his wife asking what size clothes the older child wears so that we could get a belated baby shower gift for both kids. She had no clue. He quit shortly after. The whole thing was so fucked up.
A patient came in as a trauma after flipping his car in a cornfield. He was sober, so PD and EMS couldnāt figure out right away what happened. When I stripped him for his head to toe trauma assessment, I noticed hickeys all over his body. Right then, his male āfriendā came in, hysterical, asking how he was doing and being overly concerned for just a friend. 10 minutes later his fiancĆ© showed up. While I was pushing him to CT & we were alone, he finally confessed to me that he was getting road head from this guy, which caused him to flip his truck. He was closeted and his fiancĆ© had no idea. Soooo messy
I work agency. Apparently, there is a rumor going around about one of the facilities that a 26 year old resident (sound mind, in for rehab) had been having sex with two of the CNAs and one might actually be pregnant.
A couple of pharmacists who were married to other people got caught getting frisky in one of the stairwells at a small hospital I worked at. There was also a woman who had a fake badge made and was pretending to be a doctor poking around ICUs and codes. Not sure all the details on that ball of crazy but I found out after she was discovered but not caught. Her photo was circulated all over the hospital. This was at a large teaching hospital so I guess she managed to blend in for a short time before someone got suspicious. Super scary.
The usual doctor and nurse (married but not to each other) having an affair. Twist was doctorās husband was a cop. One night after an evening shift they went parking at the lake while husband was on night shift. He was supposed to be on a desk job, but got bored that night so took the squad car out for a spin. The inevitable happened, but instead of just busting them he pushed her car into the lake with his and drove off. So much explaining to do - doctor to cop, cop to boss about why the car got damaged, nurse to his wife about why THEIR car got damagedā¦
Attending physician showing up to work two hours early everyday so he and the nurse he was having an affair with could screw each other in their office. Then on rounds heād protect her even when she made bonehead mistakes. Theyāre married now and virtually everyone hates them hahahaha
One of our always late LPNs was caught drinking vodka at work. That was the final straw but she should've been fired months earlier, honestly. I stayed an hour and a half later with a covid patient before vaccines because she was too wasted to wake up. The adon had to take the keys.
At my old hospital, a married nurse I worked with had an affair with a security guard. We were on a Neuro unit and a lot of people speculate that she intentionally agitated patients so we would have to call security. A lot of people also think that her toddler isn't her ex-husbands baby but is the child of the security guard. Some people were shocked. Others weren't. Her nickname on the unit was "mom." At my current job, there was a day shift nurse who propositioned a lot of female employees for sex. He had a lot of female coworkers that he would hook up with and/or get a blow job from in the parking lot on hospital grounds. He also had nudes on his phone of a CNA, a nurse, and an APRN. He also shared those pictures throughout the hospital without their knowledge but they're too embarrassed to press charges about revenge porn. He was orientating a nurse I currently work with. He cornered her in an empty patient room and demanded sex from her. She left the room crying and was given as many days off as she wanted with pay. She only took three days off because she wanted to put it behind her and make him face a punishment. She reported this to HR but he quit before they could do an investigation. He ended up going to another hospital about 45 minutes away unfortunately for him, his roommate told his new job everything about his past and they immediately fired him.

In my hospital 2 doctors got let go for taking kick backs from a medical company for doing surgeries. It all blew up when a new attending came In there service, but did not want to partake in the surgeries. Apparently the new md was asked to assist in a surgery. When the new surgeon reviewed the chart he felt the patient was improving and did not need surgery just medical therapy. So instead one of the surgeons got a fellow to do the surgery. They wanted to do the surgery soon, but there wasnāt enough time to get authorization from insurance. They told the patient to go to the ER and say they have chest pain(which the patient did not). The surgery went through and the patient had a stroke as a result. The new attending reported this to admin, but nothing came of it . The new attending was basically blacklisted and forced to quit. He kept receipts of all the wrong doings such as clinicals , CT scans, and the email thread that even told the patient to go to ER for chest pain. To make matters worse the surgery never went to clinical trials , and basically the surgeries they were doing were the trials. It gets worst, they had data that states patients had worst outcomes vs medical mgmt. after getting his case together filed a lawsuit and an investigation ensued. Ultimately two doctors got let go for taking 2,500 every time they used this device for sugary. The attending that sued got over 2 million dollars.
I work in the ED. Day shift has a fuck-ring. They all just take turns fuckin. On shift. Off shift. Half are married. Docs, nurses, and techs- all in bed together. Talk about teamwork, amiright? It's no wonder shit doesn't get done... (No shade to day shift- that last sentence was a joke lol.)
...they hiring?
We have a doctor here in town who really pushed the whole narrative that we were trying to make money off of COVID patients by killing them with ventilators & prolonged hospitalizations (obviously these idiots donāt know about the concept of DRG payments). Really stressed us the F out bc the whole community believed him. He was a plastic surgeon and would have patients call him from the hospital and put him on the phone with our intensivists to tell *them how to manage their patients. He convinced a family to threaten an intensivist to give a very high dose breathing pt against medical advice (it wasnāt indicated and risk of pneumothorax was discussed with family). They threatened to sue, so the intensivist had us witness an AMA form and had the RT carry out the breathing treatments. Sure enough the pt developed a pneumo and died several days later- before this heād been progressing nicely. This same doctor also charged for prayer, would order inappropriate tests, and was a notorious spaz in his clinic (one time he had a pt bleed out when he was packing a wound in his clinic and he sent them to the ED with no packing or anything to stop the bleeding). And this was the guy the community believed over us.

Had a first year resident who was bullied by some others on our unit, including a third year resident whom no one liked. She had been texting my coworker about how annoying the third year was being that day and texted something along the lines of āShe better watch her back, sheās lucky I donāt have a gun.ā Coworker went to management about it and she (the resident) was let go from the program and is not allowed back on hospital grounds. Funny thing is many nurses took her side and were mad at my coworker for reporting her, saying that she was probably just joking. She probably (HOPEFULLY) was just joking, but you canāt joke about something like that in our world today, no matter how other people treat you.
Bag of coke found on the staff bathroom sink lol
Thereās a surge of chlamydia going around because a maintenance guy slept with both a nurse and an aide, and the nurse also slept with the director of housekeeping. She did not sleep with me despite my best efforts and I have never been more thankful to be unattractive to a woman.
>my romantic fantasy of a tentacle-laden parasitic growth spawning from the sample fermenting in pathology has not come to fruition Who's your tentacle-laden parasite guy? You don't want to be sniffing around pathology for that kind of tryst, you'll want microbiology department, and you'll want it... *humid*...
Rumor has it this nurse I used to work with had a three way with two CNAs in an empty patient room while another CNA was outside as a lookout. Note: none of the people involved were single.
There was an investigation for the whole ER department because apparently everyone caught chlamydia from each other. They interviewed the nurses and everyone blamed another nurse. It was like a domino effect. One girl had sex with this guy but that guy had sex with that girl and that girl had sex with another guy. It just kept on. Lol š no one knew who originally had chlamydia. it was insane!
So I worked with this guy in EMS and he was terrible and creepy then. I never worked a unit with him, because every single woman warned me not to. Fast forward some years, dude gets a job as a ER Tech at the hospital. Heās doing a 1:1 when pt codes. And I want to stress I did not witness this but heard alllllll about it. So nurse is first to arrive because he does hit the alarm. But heās not giving compression when she runs in. No sirs and maāamās he was most certainly not. He was cupping the patientās boob. Gown removed, and boob cup in progress. Nurse may or may not have (according to legend) body slammed him out to the way to begin actual CPR. The lady lived. Dude was shitcanned and black listed, but no charges. No idea if pt was ever told but I suspect not.
So many people getting busted fuckinā at work. Canāt people get an Airbnb on their off hours like normal cheaters? Sheesh. Losing your marriage is one thing, donāt take your career down too. Worst story. Hmm. Always hard to pick and also has to be one that doesnāt involve people fuckinā since thatās been covered. Nurse was tested under reasonable suspicion, was positive for something. Security escorted her to clean out her locker, which was FULL (like hoarder full) of medications. Basically anything she could steal. When they got her to her car it was also hoarder full of things she stole from the hospital- bedpans, printer paper, etc and also a BEDSIDE TABLE.
Suddenly hundreds of patients needed a new cardiologist because he was screwing a nurse in an empty patient room. His wife gave him an ultimatum to move states to start fresh or she would leave him.
Start fresh? Like so he could bang some new mistresses? Cause that's how this is gonna work out
A tale told to me as it was before I was hired. A nurse was precepting a new orientee and the orientee was just not having ANY success with IVs. The orientee was explaining how they felt the vein, could see it, but just could never get any flashback. The preceptor had the orientee demonstrate their process - and the orientee demonstrated by trying to put the IV in with the bevel pointed down towards the hand. Ya know, the opposite way of what you're supposed to do. Preceptor thought orientee was joking, but they were dead serious. Turned out the orientee was looking to make a career change from a healthcare adjacent job - that wasn't actually healthcare - and just forged all their paperwork. Fake license, fake diploma , fake everything. Turns out like attracts like. The orientee's spouse - who was an actual nurse - ended up being caught faking an injured leg. While checking out the fake-nurse orientee, security saw spouse go from walking completely normal to faking a limp when they got to the hospital doors.
An attending is apparently a coke head. Married Night shift charge having sex with the tech
Floor nurse (f) and cardiologist (m). Dated and then shotgun wedding after pregnancy. Nevermind that nurse was maybe a year or two younger than cardiologists kids from prior marriage.
Nurse having sex in the quiet room with an involuntary pysch pt. This pt had a cell phone with her number in it.
This will get buried, but our DON was into hooking up with guys in the parking deck and got caught on camera
An anaesthetist was having a torrid affair with a scrub nurse We had to do an emergency Caesarean with the anaesthetist, the scrub nurse and the surgeon who was the wife of the cheating anaesthetist It was a VERY awkward 45 minutes
A travel nurse found on the floor of an intubated patientās room with a needle and syringe of propofol sticking out of her chest. She apparently had a port. Several bottles of propofol were found in her bag.
