  • I Wasn't Talking About You...

    At the hospital I'm currently working at, they have rolling computers called Computers On Wheels. Everyone calls them COWs.

    Nurse and I are in a patient's room.

    Nurse: "I need you to go get the COW before you give these meds."
    Me: "Ok." I leave and return with the computer.
    Nurse: "Good. You need to always remember the COW."
    Patient: "Stop talking about me like I'm not here!!"
    Me: "I'm sorry?"
    Patient: "Stop calling me a cow!!!"

      We told her we weren't talking about her, she rolled her eyes, and we knocked her out with the pain meds and anti nausea medication we were in the room to give her.

        We call them that, too

        While I haven't had a patient actually protest, I've had a few give me funny looks
        They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

          Man, if only that solution were available to the rest of us.

              Ours are not. I have helpfully offered to stencil them with cow spots.

                Gateway computers used to be marketed with black and white cow markings, but I think that was for adverts only.

                  The packaging of Gateway computers had cow spots, the computers themselves were boring beige. They came with cow spot mouse pads, though.

                        Part of me wants to know how you come up with these, Sheldon, but the sensible bit of me says it would be a bad idea to find out.

                        I'll admit that I'm impressed.

                            Ads only, alas. My college-bf got a Gateway and tried in vain to get his cow-spotted. We ended up cutting out black cow-like spots with vinyl and putting it on the case and monitor It even had a sticker that said "The COW" on it.
                            The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.

                              We used to use those at my job. One day, I saw a stack of them waiting to be installed. They were still in there boxes, and found the fact that the boxes were cow-spotted. I grabbed a pen and wrote "Moo!" on one of the boxes. I'm easily amused like that sometimes.
