Weird stuff happens all around me. It is rare that a day passes when I don't think, "wtf?!"
When you connect these two ideas, you get what is to become a weekly blog entry about some recent happening that made me ask myself, "wtf?!"
I introduce to you, tender reader, WTF Wednesday. Now, let the madness begin!
I'm a nursing student. As such, I come into contact with many actual nurses. I find that these nurses fit into one of two categories:
1) people who are so intelligent that I feel as though I am good for not much more than the occasional snarky blog entry and
2) people who are so much on another planet that I'll be too embarrassed to show my face anywhere ever if I don't make it through this program.
Also as a nursing student, I am bound by several privacy laws. I can't get very specific about anything. The following conversation may or may not have taken place between someone who may have happened to be a patient and someone who may have happened to be a nurse:
Person one: I don't like yogurt. Why do I need to eat it?
Person two: It helps replace the natural flora and fauna that you've lost from your digestive tract.
1) No. It doesn't (Okay, it does replace flora. And that's cool.).
2) Unless you drink water from the Amazon, you probably don't have fauna (technically parasites are fauna, but personally, I like to imagine elk or other such majestic animalia.) in your digestive business.
3) Why would you want to replace parasites?!
4) Now I really want to watch The Addams Family. And like I really have time for that.
