Nursing Hazing vs Medical Hazing vs Fraternity Hazing.

Nursing student hazing

Happy:  How much oxygen is the patient breathing in.
Student Nurse:  She's not on any oxygen.
Happy:  No Oxygen!  What is she breathing in?
Preceptor RN:  Just ignore Happy.  Tell him to pick on someone his own size.
Med student hazing.
Attending:  Does the patient have a temperature?
Med Student:  No.
Attending:  No temperature?   Are...you... sure?
Med Student:  Yes.
Attending:  Then you're telling me my patient is at absolute zero.  Did you order a warming blanket?
Med Student:  I thought you meant did they have a fever.
Attending:  Ah.  Remember to always pay attention to the details, because details will make the patient sink or swim.  
Fraternity hazing.
Never mind...  We're all crazy to do this medical stuff for a living, as this nursing someecard helps to explain.
