Stupid ER Tricks
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Stupid ER Tricks
I read the title and thought it was stupid things Cast Members had tried in an effort to get an ER. My bad...
Okay, I admit it. When I saw that it was DisneyMom posting that I instantly knew that ER really meant ER and not ER.
Anyway, to the site you posted, with 118+ pages of reading. I don't have time right now, but at first blush I like this one:
-"I have gonorrhea."
"What makes you think that?"
"It's going around my family."
Great, now I have to go scrub my eyeballs.
Oh, no No NO NO!!!: http://allnurses.com/showthread.php?t=16017

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Stupid ER Tricks
Three hours later... Thanks, DisneyMom. I needed to get to bed two hours ago.
I blame you. ;)
Absolutely fascinating reading, and after this one: http://allnurses.com/emergency-nursing/ ... 70440.html
I feel really good about my conduct every time I've been to an ER.

Re: Stupid ER Tricks
Yes, BW.......I stayed up all night reading it, too. Partially because I was pissed off at a rude paramedic that night and needed to unwind :D:
I don't work in an ER, but we often get similar stories in our Urgent Care.

Re: Stupid ER Tricks
BW, I too, thought she was talking about an ER, not ER.
I need more sleep. :D:

Re: Stupid ER Tricks
Make that three :) Actually a SCM thread about crazy stories that CMs have come up with to get an ER would make a for a great read.Cranbiz wrote:BW, I too, thought she was talking about an ER, not ER.

Re: Stupid ER Tricks
I was actually a bit worried that that might offend someone. Thanks! You made my day, and it's only noon. I usually reserve that decision for about 9 PM

BW, doubt any on SGT would be offended. Takes more than this. :D: Took liberty & copied then sent to all friends who loved it. Maybe liberty is the wrong word. I simply stole it. ;) Thanks!Big Wallaby wrote:I was actually a bit worried that that might offend someone.
