[Closed] Fat nurses

*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.

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

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

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?

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

If he was trying to convict me, then yes 😉

The only time I have spent in hospital in the last decade was with my son in a childrens ward, not a rotund nurse in sight, in fact they were all fit as.

What's that suppose to mean.........that the overweight nurse who took your blood is as bad as a corrupt copper ? That she is no more capable of doing her job than a corrupt copper is of doing theirs ?

BTW have you found out why she's overweight ? Steroids for asthma maybe ?.......I've certainly seen people balloon after taking them.

Maybe you could ask her next time she's taking your blood ? ....... you're obviously very interested.

Of course she might reply with stuff like this :

derek_starship - Member

Thanks for the sympathy you c**ts.

You streaks of piss are so sympathetic.

Welcome to life you considerable idiot.

....like how you did when someone made a comment about your weight.

and let's not forget about the bit about ignoring the advice based on experience being 'contemptible'

Fat people are lazy and like to blame everyone but themselves. My Experience only, others experience may differ.

There, i said it.

Fat people are lazy and like to blame everyone but themselves.

I can't pass judgement on derek_starship like that. And I don't think you should either.

Good, we need more input from chubsters like yourself

it started off very funny ernie but seems cruel now IMHO.
Derek one can give advice and no what is the correct thing to do and yet not follow this advice. Whether that makes you worse or not i am not sure as long as the advice /info is sound they are compotent to do the job though not be a role model.

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

It's true though. All my experiences of fat, food shovelling barstewards has been the same - can't do this, can't do that, not my fault, its my glands, it's my inability to actually take responsibility for the fact that my lifestyle is so bad that I am now permanently stuck into my seat. I've had a gutsfull of it, ha see what i did there.

EDIT: And i wasn't talking about old Derek there, he looks positively healthy and glowing.

Too late NZCol, were pretty much done here now. Sorry, you could try starting a new thread, see if anyone goes for it there.

Damn, always too late, that's the problem being on the wrong day.

Is it fair to say that derek-starship has some issues?

it started off very funny ernie but seems cruel now IMHO.

Who talking about being funny ? I only asked the reason for introducing this into the thread :

"[i]Would any of us want a police officer who'd been convicted of corruption look after your case? [/i]"

I want to know that's got to do with anything, even if 'a police officer who'd been convicted of corruption was allowed to look after a case' (which obviously they wouldn't be) what is the connection ? .....a perfectly legitimate question imo.

Is a nurse who is overweight, for whatever reason (maybe she's depressed and eating too much ?) guilty of criminal and gross professional misconduct which warrants a custodial sentence for being overweight ?

I take it Junkyard, that your comment refers to the fact that you believe D. Starship should be able to return to this thread and rake over the old arguments, and make as many comments as he wants, without being challenged or questioned by anyone ? Well my understanding is that a forum doesn't work like that.

no not at all ernie all of us who frequent here can and will be challenged. We will get banter , piss taking and abuse- with varying degrees of humour and intent. The first two are par for the course the third unnecessary if the person has chosen not to "engage" in battle so to speak. So whilst personally I thought your initially comments [earlier on the thread] were cruel , funny and offensive they also made a point. To continue doing it is the unnecessary part IMHO.
The coppers is poor as my post above showed. i managed to do this without mention of his weight and FWIW he does not look like a fat so and so to me on the latest pic.
I have some overweight friends some of them are not senistive about this so get banter/abuse. Some are so dont.

It's true though. All my experiences of fat, food shovelling barstewards has been the same - can't do this, can't do that, not my fault, its my glands, it's my inability to actually take responsibility for the fact that my lifestyle is so bad that I am now permanently stuck into my seat

Not mine.

😆

mums a phlebotomist, and not a slim one at that!

Are the Mods on holiday? (and no not in a scooter ride to Brighton type way), 5 pages of name calling and mud slinging, mixed with obviously true statistics and still this thread rolls on, gotta say though I've just re-read it all, and genuinely chuckled in places. To add to the nurse debated once dated a nurse from Poland and she was far from overweight and luckily for me matched my extremely high standards* with regard to morals!!!!

*might not actually be that high a standard

To continue doing it is the unnecessary part IMHO.

I agree. Expect that d. starship wants to keep making the point, and in fact, even escalate things by ratcheting up it all up a few notches and comparing an overweight nurse with a corrupt copper - he obviously doesn't want to let it go.

Let's be clear what we're talking about here. D. starship has started a thread titled "Fat nurses", he knows full well that firstly, it is an inflammatory comment - hence the *dons lots of kevlar* comment in his first post, and that there are a few nurses on this forum. It leads to people making moronic statements such as "Fat people are lazy and like to blame everyone but themselves" and everyone has yet again, a good laugh at the expense of fat people.

I come along and point out that as far as I am aware he is a fat bastard himself, and rather importantly, that he is extremely sensitive with regards to comments about his weight. I ask him if he is no longer fat and whether this is a new-found smuggness on his part.

He posts an unconvincing photo that very conveniently excludes his belly - which was previously huge to say the very least. I get stick for apparently being cruel to the poor sensitive soul, and decide to ease off. He returns with even more inflammatory remarks about fat nurses this time apparently comparing them with criminals. I challenge his absurd comparison and give him a bit more stick. People rally round him to defend his right to make insulting comments without being criticised by me.

That at least, is how I see it......I'm sure someone will say that's completely wrong.

The horse is dead you can stop flogging it now.

Well since I'm not simply responding to my own posts, it clearly isn't dead. When I post two posts in a row I'll agree.

I'm still chuckling over the Nurse I had a gentle spat with after I questioned her ability to do her job. I think it was fair when I said to her 'you'd benefit from a spot of retraining'. Harsh but bloody fair.

In the medical profession there seems to be an element of injuries whilst partaking in sport as to put it bluntly 'self-inflicted'.

Affectively putting anyone who cares about living their life in the same bracket as injured drunks.

On another note, my ex was stunning and didnt drink much. Then she trained to be a nurse, drank alot and is now abit 'chunkier'.

Do your job love, its what you chose to do and what you are paid to do. 🙄
