A Polar Bear And A Dog's Signature

At the beginning of the shift, the previous nurse told me that she put a polar bear on the patient's knee. I said okay and managed not to laugh. Nurses who don't speak English as a first language say the cutest things. What she meant to say is polar care, which is a type of ice pack treatment. Polar bears are cuter than polar cares, but I think a bear would keep the patient warm instead of cold.

I sign my name dozens and dozens of times a day, so you would think that I would have it down by now. So why tonight, did I sign my dog's name in a patient's chart? Because we're not allowed to scratch over anything we've written in a chart, all I could do is draw a single line through it and write my name above it. Idiot.
