Bariatric Orthopedics I was job hunting allover Texas and I saw that there is a huge demand for registered nurses in the bariatric orthopedics department. I'm scratching my head wondering how bad it is to work in that department as a nurse. In fact, I never thought these two words would go together. I can't believe we live in a world where a facility has to open up a bariatric orthopedics department because people won't put down the fork! If any of you shitlords work in bariatric orthopedics, I like to hear your stories from that department. Something tells me its a huge shitshow in that part of healthcare.
