The charge nurse thought I should not be given a regular assignment - such as rooms 201 - 205. So she decided I should perform "dilly" care for the entire unit. Dilly care involves inserting suppositories, using your index finger to manually remove hard stool from the rectal vault, then giving and enema and cleaning up the mess. I knew I was getting the short end of the stick and the boss asked me "if I minded?" Yes I did. So I broke out into a rousing rendition of a Lennon Sisters song and sang out "I'm the Boogie Woogie Dilly Boy from Company B". She gave me rooms 201-205.
There's a reason I'm glad we have nurses.
