Again?
What is it about female patients? Why do they all need to pee every 45 minutes?
I had a room with four females, all of whom had had knee replacements. They were all at the stage where they could sort of walk, but the process of getting them out of bed, to the toilet, off the toilet and back into bed could take 10 or 15 minutes, easily. And for some reason, if one went, they all wanted to go, too. Do the math, as soon as the last patient got her turn, it was time to start over again.
We're not supposed to, but after everyone got a couple of walks to the bathroom, I started encouraging bedpans. It was the only hope I had for accomplishing anything besides walking people to the bathroom.
I bet if doctors had to provide bedside care of their patients, all of the patients would have catheter orders.

I've noticed a similarity when we're out on the town with family or friends. When one female decides to get up and go to the restroom, all the females suddenly get up and follow along.
Sorry, Blogger doubled on me.

LOL! That's the BEST!
LOL, I'm laughing at Alan's comment....its so true! Why is it we can never go on our own?!
Maybe some day they will invent a pill that lets people shcedule their pit stops. That would be very nice. :)
Alan, Blogger can be such a bugger. I removed the duplicate.
I don't know why women like to go to the bathroom in gangs. I prefer to go by myself.
beajerry, I suspect that you know what I'm talking about.
Michelle, is it true for you?
Gary, I think that God made a mistake in designing bladders. They should be much larger.
