Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Stick It Where It Hurts


Someone came around work carrying a basket filled with syringes. Flu shot time. After seeing the ridiculously huge needles they were using(Gauge 18), I declined. But I still want a shot.

Later, I'll sneak a dose from the drug fridge and shoot myself up. Only, I'll use a much smaller needle, smaller dose and put it barely beneath the skin into my tummy fat. It will work just as well with less pain. (Nurses make the worst patients.)

Is that stealing?

Nah. If they were going to give you a flu shot anyway, taking it yourself later isn't stealing. I'd opt for the smaller needle too. :-)

I'm glad that it's okay, because now it's a done deal.

No, it's not stealing. They were going to give it to you anyway.
