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.

Ungrateful Nurses


Thanks for the flowers, but where's the chocolate?

They could at least bring orchids that you could take home and enjoy year after year (if they don't die). What are those people thinking bringing flowers that are just going to die and no chocolate?!

That's just the problem, people don't think. Maybe we should give every patient a list of suggested nurse presents when they are admitted. :)

Perfect! We could call it a "Wish List" like the charities do!

Yeah, chocolate. And diamonds.

What's wrong with patients? I've never been given diamonds! It doesn't even have to be diamonds, I would be perfectly happy with blue topaz. :)

The flowers are very nice, but working around every bodily fluid and waste imaginable builds up my appetite. I need chocolate.

We are just the opposite! Working in the hospital always made me lose my appetite. There is just something so unappetizing about suctioning the trach of a comatose vent patient. I just drank slim fast and ate those little meal bars so I wouldn't pass out. Ah, but that was so many pounds ago...the good old days!

The only thing that causes me to lose my appetite is my coworker's food.
