I think the title says it all... I'm especially loving the mothering and TTC ones

Oh my, some of those are just plain scary! I can't believe some people are that clueless.
-
oh, boy.
-
I believe it. At my cousin's high school graduation party a few weeks ago, one of her friends was there with her 6 month old baby boy, and was feeding him what looked like water. When I heard someone ask her about it, she told them that it was sugar water. Because he likes it and it makes it easier to get him to drink water! Duh! Her poor, poor child.
-
DYING. OH MY GODDDDDDDD!
-
Some people I swear...wow. I saw a newborn (maybe a month old) on the Forth of July being fed Gatorade...seriously I was floored.
-
O M G... washing the condom one. Seriously!?
-
My sisters boyfriend is an ER nurse in DC.
Boyyy the stories he's told me...
-
Omg. This is great.
-
Wowwww, just wow
-
oh man - I fear for humanity.
So many of these just scream "THIS IS WHY WE NEED SEX ED IN SCHOOL, EVERYWHERE"
-
@yoursilverlining: right?!? Taking the pill only on the days you have sex, smh
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: share!
These were amazing!! My cousin gave both her kids diet coke in their bottles... Smh
-
These are great. Though I have to admit my ten-month-old snuck a sip from the straw in my iced latte the other day!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: I've got stories for DAYS from the ER I work in... I drive home giggling most days!
We see a lot of things in butts, accompanied by stories about how they "fell" on said item
-
@Mae: one patient (male) was constipated so he put his girlfriends vibrator up his butt, but it got stuck.
He needed surgery.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: he'd never heard of metamucil? lol
-
@Mae: apparently he'd tried everything else.
-
@LuLu Mom: @Mae: @grizz: @Mrs. Jump Rope: HAHAHAHA, oh man, this is why I wish I worked in the medical industry. If only I could get rid of all the sad things
@Shutterbug: @yoursilverlining: Seriously!! Or the boyfriend takin the pill?! That's not how these things work people!
Sadly I know someone who just had their third 'oops' baby, an she's only 22. Uuummm... Can someone please tell you how babies are made because you obviously don't understand?
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: well then by all means, shake it loose lol
-
@grizz: I hate when I fall and things get stuck up my ass!
-
@grizz: reminds me of the "ass man" seinfeld episode! "You ever met a proctologist at a party you park yourself because he will have the best stories. And they all end the same way, 'million to one shot doc, million to one!'"
-
omg these are hilarious. i work at an orthopedic clinic so we don't get any that are too crazy, but i once asked a patient what kind of insurance she had and she replied with "i have two insurances: blue cross AND blue shield"
-
@whenoceansrise: HAHAHAHA
-
@Mrs. Champagne: @Mae: omg. I just spit Diet Coke all over my phone laughing!!!
-
I work with a nurse who triaged a pregnant patient. She said her apartment was raided by the police so she stuck some crack in her belly button, but now it's gone so "do you think the baby (fetus) could've swallowed it?" Yikes.
-
These are scary!
-
@PurplePumps: My mom caught a young couple trying to buy a pack of long balloons because they were too embarrassed to buy condoms!!
Ohhh, I've heard some crazy stories. I remember one about a patient who had gallstones and needed her gallbladder removed. Three separate people went over the consent, surgery, etc. Post-op the patient freaked out, yelling "How am I gonna pee?!?" It took awhile to explain that the gall bladder is not the urinary bladder. Informed consent....yeesh!
-
@anandam: Whaaa?
The doula I did my training with had a client who was in labor, fully dilated, and ready to push, and when the doctor arrived, the client asked him if he was going to stimulate her clit because she heard sex and orgasm were good for helping the baby come out...
-
As a nurse, I am not surprised by these haha.
-
@Espion: I know a girl in high school that used Saran Wrap.
-
@IRunForFun: HAHAHA - wow, that would be awkward for the Dr!
@Mrs. Jump Rope: @Espion: Wow - no wonder teenage pregnancy is so common
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: That's what I call MacGyver'ing it!
-
Omg this thread!!!
-
@swurlygurl: Seriously! She said it was the most awkward thing she ever experienced. Apparently the doctor just stood there for a minute and then simply said "No..." LOL!
-
these are seriously scary. i feel like they can't be true!
-
@IRunForFun:
-
I was at the doctor today and the woman next to me told one of the hospital volunteers that she gives her six month old licorice after being good O_o
-
The ones about feeding babies soda and coffee just make me sad.
But the other ones are kind of hysterical, especially the woman with two kids who didn't know what her period was!!!
oh, boy.
