My experience with fat nurses and muffins Background: I'm a med student currently on OB/gyn rotation. I'll keep this as short as possible. I got a text this morning from my Preceptor (the doctor who's in charge of me) telling me to come to the hospital so that I can scrub into a D&C. As I'm changing in the locker room, she sends me another text: "Hurry up. I am in OR 11." Unfortunately, I I've never been in this particular hospital, so I don't know where OR 11 is. I find a nurse station and ask a group of nurses if any of them could can tell me how to get to the OR. One of them offers to walk with me to the OR because she's "going to the cafeteria to get a muffin anyway, and the OR is on the way." We're about halfway down the hall when one of the other nurses from the station yells down the hall for the other nurse to get her a muffin as well. Suddenly a conversation unfolds that is along the lines of:   "Hey! Can you get me a muffin too?!" "Sure! What kind?!" "What kinds do they have?" "Uhh blueberry, cinnamon, chocolate chip, chocolate chunk, chocolate swirl, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate..." "Okay, I'll take 12 cranberry banana swirls" We start walking down the hall again. "WAIT! I'll just walk with you in case they have any new flavors!" (Cue a fat nurse waddling down the hallway, at the speed of a Fox Sports ultra-slow motion replay Phantom camera)   It's now been five minutes.   Later, when we get to what the two fatties claim to be the OR, I find out that it isn't even the freaking OR at all. Completely wrong place. I've now wasted 8 minutes with these muffin tops (pun intended) and I'm still not where I need to be. The two fat nurses have vanished without explanation (obviously to continue their quest for muffins). I had to ask a freaking student volunteer for help. This 19-year-old girl took me to exactly where I needed to be (She works for FREE and was arguably more capable than two RNs, the fuck?). By the time I scrubbed in, I was 15 minutes late. Procedure was pretty much already done. I didn't learn shit. I got bitched out for failing to show up. I will never trust an obese nurse again, much less two of them. I'll never look at muffins the same way again.
