RNs are dumb. Before the other RNs on here get their jimmies rustled...I am one. However, I am so disappointed by most of our ranks. Almost everyone is fat, everywhere I've worked. And the reason I am so outraged this time is that I literally had the most rage inducing conversation of my life. I almost always keep quiet when work people are talking about weight, diet, exercise, etc. I just can't spare the energy, and arguments in the workplace are so unprofessional. But this girl said that her 300 lb, 30 yo brother died from a dislodged DVT. So basically he ate himself into death from immobility. She said it was hard to watch him get so fat, that he had gotten fat from medication and that he never ate anything except for a small meal he would force down daily because his mom made him. Other than the small meal he never ate anything. I pointed out that by the laws of physics that that was impossible, and what she basically just said was the equivalent of gravity doesn't apply to my brother so he can fly. She said that she saw what he ate, and she knows she's right. I repeated that it was impossible for people to fly or to gain weight from ingesting nothing but one small meal. She said she would agree to disagree. I was pretty much angry the rest of the day.
