Loves the "Funny" Button
Speaking of Icy Hot, we had a really cool, funny nurse at the jail I sadly had to fire b/c she got so tired of inmates lying to her, making up story after story about their "dry skin" problems and this, that and the other (they could buy lotion, etc. on commissary) to get freebie 30cc med cups (size of a Nyquil cup) full of something to use for their handies, she started passing out Muscle Rub (same thing as Icy Hot but looks like white skin cream) instead of lotions and creams.
Within about two days, the "kites started flying" (medical requests) and we had a stampede of inmates complaining their "muscle" had been "rubbed" raw. VERY red and highly painful/uncomfortable, but luckily, no blisters and everyone's skin was intact. Had they wanted to pursue it, both the inmates and the Dept. could've charged her with multiple counts of assault, and I had no choice but to let her go and turn in an incident report to the State Board of Nursing.
I have no idea what sanctions against her license the state board took, but man, other than that mean, little "paybacks are hell" deal, she was a great jail/Corrections nurse and those are *hard* to find around here! In retro, may have just dodged a bigger bullet with that one.
O.K. Back on topic.
