Okay here is the scenario....
You are working at a Dr.s office and doing a H1N1 flu shot clinic. A family of 4 children come in to get their shots. The 3 youngest come back into the room with no problems and with no hesitation. The nurse #1 brings out 1 of the shots, the 2 oldest of the younger 3 run outside of the room saying "its a shot no way I'm not getting that, I'm out of here." So the mother says "Okay lets just do this little one and then I'll go out to the waiting room and grab the others." So the nurse #1 gives the youngest the shot and there are some tears for about 30 seconds but then the child is over it and is content with a sucker in the mouth. Mom goes out to grab the others and what does she find?...... No children whatsoever. Mom goes down stairs and outside, finds 2 children and brings them back upstairs. Screaming, crying, and fighting is what you not only see but can definitely hear. Mom is very upset carrying the children in by their arms, she sits them in the chairs and says "DONT move you are getting shots whether you like it or not!!" One just continues to scream and cry while getting the shot but is over it quickly, the other is fighting and throwing his body around making it almost impossible to give a shot. The child goes to kick the nurse #1, luckily she is quick enough to grab the leg and say "if you kick me this is going to be even worse" The child calms down enough and holds still just enough to get the shot and then is in tears yet again, but like the other sibilings he gets over it. Well wait isn't there 1 more child?? Yes indeed!! Mom goes to find the oldest of the 4 and amazingly enough she is no where to be found. Mom has looked outside, around the building, by the car, and still no sign of child #4. Mom comes back upstairs (to the 2nd floor) very, very upset and says "Well she is gone and is definitley grounded and I guess wont be getting it, I am so so sorry" Nurse #1 thinking at this point we have a missing child on our hands. Nurse #1 replies to the mother "well do you wanna go and look for her again and i'll watch the other 3" Mom says "i guess" Well why mom is out looking for the 2nd time for the oldest child another nurse (nurse #2) comes in the room. I explain the situation to her and she goes to check the stairwell to see if she is possibly hiding in there. While the other 3 are in the room still nurse #1 asks "boys do you know where your sister is and you are just not telling us" their reply "no, no we promise, she ran outside with us but we came back in, she is definitely in huge trouble and going to be grounded, yup so grounded" As the nurse looks out the window she sees and hears the mom say "well then you are staying here, you are not coming home, see ya" As the nurse looks behind the mom she sees the oldest screaming and crying "No mom No!" Well somehow the mom cornered the oldest grabs her and drags her back into the room. She comes to nurse #1 and asks "are you ready for this?" The nurse replies with 2 other nurses behind her "YuP!!" So the nurse grabs the girl sits down with her on her lap. The mom tries taking the jacket off and immediately the child starts biting her mom. Nurse #3 says "hey don't bite your mom." as she is holding the childs legs. So the child goes and grabs nurse #2's chest pretty much ripping it off. Well nurse #1 grabs the strong, extremely strong childs arms and what happens next is absolutely "UnBeLiEvAbLe" The child tries to bite nurse #1's hand and actually nicks her. Nurse #2 wasn't having any of that so she grabs the childs head and puts it back and says "DONT YOU BITE HER!!" As nurse #2 is very upset but somehow trying not to laugh haha :). Amazingly enough nurse #2 gives the shot and after the shot the child, who is still fighting and screaming, says "are you done, are you done?" Nurse #2 says, "yes so hold still I'm putting the bandaid on! and you need to stop screaming, you are scaring all the other little kids" The child says while screaming "I don't care" As the child screams the entire way out of the room, down the elevator, outside, and to the car, where the nurses could no longer hear her. The nurses sat there in amazement and shock trying to figure out if that had truly just happened??So I ask you, is this story True or False?????
The answer..... This story could not be more TRUE!!! I was nurse #1 in this story and I am still trying to figure out if that really happened! For the rest of that day all we could is just laugh and keep telling the story to our other co-workers, who to be honest pretty much heard everything that happened! Lets just say there is never, ever a dull moment at a Pediatric office. Things like this happen all the time, now not even close to this extent, but they still happen! I must also say thank you to wonderful nurses #2 and #3, I truly couldn't have done it without you guys! I love ya!
