Fun Facts About My Job
1. I have to type the word "rectal." A lot.
2. There is apparently a tank full of leeches on the premises. I have yet to see it, and really have no desire to whatsoever.

4. Knowing the difference between aspirin and tylenol is not as common as one may think.

7. Some parents hate their children and give them horrible names that my coworkers and I giggle about, but thanks to HIPAA, I'm not allowed to share these with you.
8. The comment "I have discharge today" refers to a job assignment, not a medical condition that might possibly require antibiotics.
9. I type the word "constipation" a lot too.
10. One of my coworkers was asked out by one of the security guards. He apparently watches her on the security cameras. She thinks this is endearing. I find it creepy and rather stalkerish.
11. One would think that medical professionals with 5 - 10 years of higher education would know how to pee into the toilet and not all over the floor or seat. One would be wrong.

14. Boston Butt Cream is a real medication listed on our formulary.
