I couple of times of the years, I had to care for severe alcoholics as inpatients. The Valium protocol did not work and the patients refused to quit drinking. So, I actually had to write in the orders to serve 1 beer with each meal three times daily. The family brought in beer to store in the fridge. The younger nursing staff thought they were being pranked! lol
Why the Dutch beer? There are so many tastier types. And if it's the alcohol (s)he is looking for, why is the beer even there? Just stick with the vodka in the freezer...
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

for those of us not familiar with the environs, what's supposed to be/usually in there?

"It's for the neurologist"????
If the neurologist is drinking beer during rounds, there is a BIG, BIG problem.
Admin shit fit in 3 . . .2 . . .1. . .
Oh, and the vents on the frig need cleaning.
So they keep the vodka in the freezer?
Anon @8:45 Usually specimen which they disguise in Pepsi Cans
At least he has the decency to have Ranch dressing with his beer. Cocktail sauce or ketchup really would not be a good match.
OMG! You're almost out of beer!
As usual, the neurosurgeon got in early and drank the other five.
The residents, meanwhile, are stuck with Steel Reserve.
No Diet Coke? How could they do that?
Well, if you can have medical marijuana...

Don't they know how unhealthy all those sugared sodas are?
But where's the genever?
