  • Allergic To Hospitals

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to All on Fri Oct 30 00:06:14 2020
    As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I
    ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If they are, I
    print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's wrists.

    Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she
    said she couldn't eat bananas. Imagine my surprise when several
    hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses' station
    demanding, "Who's responsible for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"

    Then there was the little boy who when asked if he had any allergies, stuff he can't have, whispered in the doc's ear.

    Later he went home sporting an orange bracelet which had on it, in big black letters: "ALLERGIC TO: BROCCOLI, SPINACH"

    I think he and I have the same condition. <G>

    I love spinach, & broccoli is ok, if cooked right. . . (steamed al dente)

    I love brussels sprouts cooked dsame,but Ui will neverr eat another pea iu my life! (wayyy over did my limit as a kid, since it was the only green my dad liked, & so it was on my plate, too, & in those days -- no choice -- eat everything on the plate.

    Apparently as a baby, I couldnm't get enough of peas!

    overdose, yup. . .

    Now I'm "allergic" (intolerant)

    As a kid I liked most vegetables just fine if they were fresh & raw.

    Even garden peas! Found out recently I'm not too fond of the English ones, even raw! (more or less like Lima Beans in a pod made of wool)

    Asparagus doesn't cut the muster, though -- don't like it in any form, even raw.
