Ah, patients.

My 85 year old valve replacement guy today told me,
"You have the whole desperate housewife thing going on. What do you look like without your hair pulled back and those glasses. I'm sure you look a lot better. Probably could get a husband."

His wife agreed.

I was like teasing him being all like, "Uhm, I'm already married. So I don't have to look good anymore." Which isn't true, I don't let myself go, but I grease back my hair into a bun and wear my rectangle thick glasses for special people like 85 year olds with tubes still sticking out of them. Yah, I'm not here to dress to impress you, patient.

I showed him my fabulous hospital issue ID card photo - which I look fabulous in by some fluke of their digital webcamera that took it. His wife and him oo'd and ahh'd my photo, saying wow we have such a pretty nurse.


Weirdos.
