Nurse octopus

Ever feel like during a trauma or post-arrest resuscitation that the primary nurse gets treated like she is an octopus?  Well, I have and I know many others have as well.  It is like a mutation occurs in the eyes of doctors when they look at nurses in these situations and they see a being with multiple arms that have the amazing ability to manifest drips, pumps, tubing, O.Gs, and Foley's and this being can accomplish everything in a matter of minutes. 
In case anyone does think that this being exists it doesn't nor does it have the power to manifest items that are randomly yelled out during these situations.  In fact the more you yell out the less is going to get done.

Signs you might be a seeker

So I have worked as an ER nurse for close to 9years and been a nurse for 13, and some of the things that go on you just can't make up.
I think that when you become an ER nurse that on your forehead is stamped "Stupid".  Why would I say such a thing?   Because how else could you explain the absolutely wild stories that people tell you to get drugs that they don't physically need but their bank account or their addiction does.
My favorite are the people who will actually injure themselves to obtain their drugs. 
You are an addict and a seeker when you:  1.  Visit 10 ER's in a 24hr period; 2.  Prick your finger to drip blood into a urine sample and the try to say you have a kidney stone;  3.  Have over the top reactions and scream for pain medicine when you have stubbed your toe;  4.  Stomp out of the ER pissed and cursing at us when we refuse to give you narcotics.  Just to name a few.
