[Closed] Fat nurses

derek_starship - Member

Is there such a thing as a hospital with a McDonald's / KFC / BK in it?

Yep, Mayday University Hospital in Croydon has a Burger King inside the hospital.........bang opposite the main entrance in fact, should you ever be there and get a tad peckish d. starship

I'm not saying I'm an athlete but I don't think you can call me a fat bastard.

I was fat though but I'm not calling nurses fat out of smugness.

Well I hope you weren't riding a bike when you were fat..........I would hate to think that you were sending out the wrong message concerning us handsome athletic types what ride bikes.

BTW, you're not related to this guy are you ?

Gone all nasty.

LIGAS.

No, no, I started off nasty, it's just that you didn't notice it.

I had an arguement with a fat nurse once.

There was no soap in the toilets and I tried 4 empty containers of the anti-bacterial handwash stuff before asking the first nurse I saw whether they took MRSA seriously in the hospital.

She got quite angry with me.

I should have brought up her weight too.

Good grief. 😯 I thought my screen had melted for a moment.

There are some people I respect based solely on the job they do and how they are treated for doing it (pay, pay rises, hours, how they're treated by the government) and while i'm sure there are a fair few doing the job that probably shoudn't be let near people, Nurses are one group that I would not speak bad of.

I'm not saying I'm an athlete but I don't think you can call me a fat bastard.

Can we call you ugly instead? 😉

That's not Derek. Derek's obviously standing behind the fat bastard in that picture.

😀 sorry but Charlie M that made me chuckle.

[b]tonyd[/b] - is there also an "after" picture?

What about fat nuns?

is there also an "after" picture?

Well I've got a "before" picture if that helps

ernie, give it a rest...

Well d. starship seems to want to carry it on........who am I to deny him that ?

I remember that thread. One of the funniest ever IMO.

linky?

EDIT

[d. starship is very touchy about people commenting on his weight......so I have edited and removed the link]

too cruel Mr Lynch !

Well d. starship seems to want to carry it on........who am I to deny him that ?

You've made your point about derek's weight a number of times now. He gets it, we get it. You're only doing this to antagonise him. Why bother? I'm sure you can use your energy for more constructive purposes.

ernie_lynch.

No biggy there mate. I posted that pic on here myself just the other day. Your attempt to somehow embarrass me has failed.

Too late, i already saw it. It was giggleworthy, but my favourite line was this

Ignoring advice given from experience is contemptable i think.

I'm a nurse, and I'm not fat, just festively plump. I am, however, a bit morally loose, and frankly, a tart. I smoke like a smokey thing, and have a crap diet. Having said that, I work hard within a pretty thankless, stressful and potentially dangerous environment, and despite the fact that one or two on here seem to think that as a profession we're well paid, I feel that I earn my £26500 a year. That's living the vida loca! (That last bit was meant to be ironic, by the way).

You've made your point about derek's weight a number of times now. He gets it, we get it. You're only doing this to antagonise him. Why bother?

Well as I've already mentioned, his [i]"is there also an "after" picture?"[/i] suggested that he wanted to keep it going - I wasn't getting the impression that he wanted to leave it.

I've edited my post now, but on the thread in question, I actually defended him from some of the ridicule he received about his weight - after it became obvious that he was upset. I think he is now guilty of some impressive hypocrisy for starting a thread about "fat nurses"

The "is there also an after picture?" question was in relation to the ward number shown in the picture in tonyd's post.

Keep up ernie lad.

I think he is now guilty of some impressive hypocrisy for starting a thread about "fat nurses"

Why? He was making a point about someone overweight giving advice to people on their health (seemingly contradictory to their own lifestyle). Where's the hypocrisy? Derek's not espousing diet plans or slagging them off for [i]only[/i] being fatties, so I don't see where the hypocrisy is.

Derek - ah, very good. I was wondering what the hell you were talking about! I think that may have been the after (too many pies) picture. Enough about fat nurses, let's talk about dishy doctors - Holby City is on tomorrow night (I think?), I can't wait!

Why? He was making a point about someone overweight giving advice to people on their health

But surely their advice was based on experience and whilst he didn't say he'd ignore, he seemed to think that it was undermined by their weight, when he himself had said

Ignoring advice given from experience is contemptable i think.

so, that does seem a bit hypocritical

There was no soap in the toilets and I tried 4 empty containers of the anti-bacterial handwash stuff before asking the first nurse I saw whether they took MRSA seriously in the hospital.

I'm surprised the nurse didn't apologise profusely, offer to wipe your dick as an emergency procedure, abandon her/his patients and rush off to refill all the containers for you once you were safely zipped up. After all there are few things in life worse than a smartarsed prick with dirty hands 8)

What made you think that the soap in the toilets was the responsibility of a nurse?

Wasn't that a Jimmy Cagney film?

Well Kit, as you seem not to want to "leave it" and want to continue this by asking me a question, first of all it's worth mentioning that d. starship fully expected to get stick over this, hence his comment on his original post [b]*dons lots of kevlar* [/b]. Secondly, despite the declaimer [i]"I'm not generalising"[/i] he does exactly that. He mentions [i]"a lot of the nurses in our local doctors surgeries and hospitals"[/i] a lot ? how many nurses does he have at his local surgery ? We've only got one at ours and she's part time. And finally, the reference to hypocrisy concerns not to the fact that he is, or was, fat, but that he is clearly extremely touchy himself, about being accused of being fat. And yet he is perfectly happy to make sweeping generalisations concerning fat nurses. Yes, maybe the nurse who took his blood was overweight and there is a point to be made. But he should have been more careful not to make a general remark about nurses if he is so touchy himself about being labelled fat. And maybe he shouldn't start a thread on a topic which he is so sensitive about ? Just my opinion like.

Whoah there. Are you suggesting that teachers are somehow bottom of the pile?

I'm not slating Teachers, but teaching kids how to read and write is in the same league as caring for people's health. Also, teachers get a rather generous amount of holiday, are home most nights by six and have every weekend off. Recovering from a bunch of night shifts is no easy task and usually takes all of their days off to recover from them whereas teachers can wake up on a Saturday morning and do what they like. I'd like to see how a teacher would get on with teaching a class full kids at 4am too, but when someone's lying in a ward dying in the middle of the night a Nurse HAS to be on their game.

Also, no one sues a Teacher if their kid fails their exams at the end of the year, but if a Nurse makes one tiny mistake they might end up costing someone their LIFE.

£26,500 a year is f*ck all reward for the responsibilities of a Nurse in my opinion. There are also a lot of Nurses out there earning a lot less than that too. If you think that's a fair wage then there's something critically wrong with you, and maybe you need to see a Nurse yourself...

Ernie, time to leave it now or Derek will pick you up throw you to the ground.

Just an awful lot of fatties everywhere these days, mostly due to laziness and greed

Bunters where I work just stagger from home into the car then rock into work (I say rock because they sort of amble along rocking from side to side gaining some forward momentum) think its because their grossly fat thighs rub together so they can't walk in a normal manner

Never walk upstairs if they can use the lift and its blind panic after a fire drill when they switch the lifts off

Hate the sight of the gluttenous bastards, sickening watching them always stuffing cakes and crisps in their ever open mouths and swilling on big bottles of coke

Swear some have a chipsmade to wake them up before they rock to their ensuite chiproom, probably have frying oil delivered by tanker. Most of these are ex telephone operators so have spent their entire working life sat on their arse

I'm not slating Teachers, but.....

😀

Well Kit, as you seem not to want to "leave it" and want to continue this by asking me a question

My plea for you to cease was to stop your predictable and unnecessary jibes at his weight. If indeed he [b]is[/b] so sensitive about it then why carry on mentioning it? I'm not making any personal affronts to you (I hope), simply questioning why you feel the need to labour the point.

maybe to see if he could take what he was giving out?

I do find it quite remarkable to watch people go out of their way to take the lift. Where I work the stairs are by the entrance, you have to walk some distance past them to get to the lift. A lot of people go past the stairs and take the lift to the [b]first floor[/b], then double back and walk past the stairs to get to their desks.

Is this thread worth reading, or is it just the usual load of bollocks? Any actual intelligent content?

Udder; do you actually [i]know[/i] any teachers? 😕

Seems to be some fat bloke having a go at fat nurses. I don't get it.

Is there actually anything to 'get'?

No stone throwing please....

So its not about nurses who care for fat people ?

Seems to be some fat bloke having a go at fat nurses. I don't get it.

Yes, it's the new post-modern 'ism' Rather than the old ways when folks would take against others because they were not like them. Hence racist / sexist / fattist. We have evolved beyond this to the current state where new 'enlightened' citizens take against people precisely [i]because [/i]they are like them. This new dislike of people them same can have a new 'phobia' The 'phobia' of people the same. hmmm I know from the greek root 'homo' meaning the same, we can have 'homophobia'!! Hey everyone! I've invented a new word! I'm just going to check the OED to make sure no one beat me to it!!

Dammit!

Oh well Mungbean. At least you tried. 😀

Fred, STOP IT WITH THE RANDOM PICTURES please.

Thats not random - thats a glass house to not throw stones in

Yay now everyone has turned up this could really kick off or has it run its course? 😉

No, reckon its all over. Never mind, I had fun, though I think some of my best material was overlooked.

That was your best? 😉

Hope you've not booked any big venues.

Oh! back on the 'big' again are we?

Now that was funny*.

*almost.

I know three nurses and they're all pretty svelte.

In the grand tradition of STW, this anecdotal evidence adds nothing to the debate!

😛

When i worked last in the NHS, before trusts /foundations and privatisation by stealth, we had a decree come out all staff ave a certain weight would be offered dieting advice, a rarther plump lady we worked with was dully summoned, she was offeered advice, and shared the fact with a rather helpful psychie patient we had in our care,for the next few weeks almost ebvery day there would be a new slimming mag left on her chair in the staff room, and then a book or two.

About 3 weeks later i took a phone call from a member of the local constabulary asking did we have a certain menber of staff working with us and did we also have a certain patient attending treatment, Yes to both, says i.

Local plod then explained the patient had been caught stealing dieting books form the local newsagents, and had refered the cause to the staff member as he was trying to help her.

He was banned from the shop and the lady in question had to hand back all the books and mags.

I think they gave her a large box of chocolates as a thankyou for the books and mags back.

Are people not getting enough sleep? Or is it just the effects of taking a thread too seriously?

'Evidence' is not the plural of 'anecdote'

Udder; do you actually know any teachers?

Actually yes. My Mum is a teacher. My wife is a Nurse.

my missus is a very slim(races bikes) trainee nurse and she is by far the slimmest thing in her ward...she gets quite miffed by alot of thinnest comments shes gets whilst they all tuck into unhealthy lunches/dinners etc..

chocolate seems to be a staple in her ward also

No wonder they get peoples records mixed up, that's no way to secure paper together.

McHamish - I like that one

*claps*

So, Udder, your mum works 8/8/30-3.30/4, Monday to Friday, never does any extra prep work/admin etc at home? Nice small class size of no more than 12 impeccably behaved kids?

Must be wonderful.

I'm not slating Teachers, but teaching kids how to read and write is in the same league as caring for people's health.

It's not life or death, but it has a pretty big impact on how that life actually pans out.

Also, teachers get a rather generous amount of holiday, are home most nights by six and have every weekend off.

The ones I know* are home by six to have some tea and then continue working, and they also work a fair bit on Sundays mostly.

His mum might be a pilates teacher

Great thread but I'll put an end to it!

Non fat nurse who does a good job (I can tell that by the amount of 'thank you' cards she gets, my Missus

Fat MTBer who couldn't really care less...Me, on the right.

So do Nurses, in fact so do I.

I work with Goddesses.

Based on the thesis that as a lot of the op's local medical staff are fat, therefore, Nurses are fat, I'd like to propose that they're all called Steve too.

I had blood taken by a fat nurse once.

Well, I say nurse, I think she was actually a flabotomist.

Sorry.

I did once encounter a nursing matron who wasn't permitted to work on the shopfloor because she was clinically obese... 😯

Getting loads of sleep thanks, now that I've stopped working shifts...... and if you thought my comment was 'taking a thread too seriously', it was very mild compared to the total lack of humour I might have displayed had I just come off nightshift

Does someone need a hug?

Rusty spanner - BRILLIANT!

Would any of us want a police officer who'd been convicted of corruption look after your case?

I'm wasted on here you know, wasted.
Did you lot manage to get a ride in on Sunday?
