The Patient Who Proposed After Getting His IV Put In
Nurses Confess The Patients Who Crossed The Line →
Meet Kayla, 29, an ER nurse at a busy Chicago hospital who has seen everything — and we do mean everything. So when a patient named Derek, 41, grabbed her hand mid-IV insertion and said "marry me," she didn't even flinch. She just taped the cannula down and said, "Sir, that's the morphine talking." (It was not the morphine talking. He sent flowers to the nurses' station for three weeks straight.) Kayla had to have HR send what colleagues are now calling "the flower memo." But that wasn't even the weirdest part of that shift — wait until you hear what happened in bay four.
