I'm not a virgin anymore

Seasoned nurses tell us that we will see some outrageous/amazing/appalling things during our careers. Today, I saw my first.

A pt was taken off all current/future IV orders and can now only get his meds po (by mouth). When the RN came in to take his IV out, he looked seriously disturbed about the fact he couldn't have IV anymore. Now, most people are thrilled to get those damn things taken out, so why was he so cross about it?

Well, the doctor found out why he was having reactions to his IV meds, he's been injecting street drugs into his IV. What wonderful people his visitors are, huh?

Amazing.

So yeah, I'm not a virgin anymore.
