I just read the post about this being a nurse/student forum. When you search msn this site comes up and seems like it's a site that you can ask nurses medical questions. So just disregard my surgical staples question. Sorry everyone! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That is alright! I can see where that might be confusing. I am glad to know that our site is in the search engine! Stop by and read some, it might answer some questions.

This thread reminded me of a song I heard once, The chorus line had part of this in it. "Don't call the Dr. Don't call the nurse, Call for the lady with the alligator purse." She was a voodoo lady as I recall.

the problem is they are clicking this link directly from another page on the site that says ask the nurse. It incenuates that it is for nursing students, I thought, but I guess you never can be too straight forward these days...... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Anyway, if I ever get things working right around here I'll take the time to get that fixed too.

They never even read the post at the top of the board bc the link takes them straight to the post feature and this board is configured so that you do not need to be registered to post.

As I recall it, it goes a little something like this:

"A Lady had a baby, his name was Tiny Tim.
She put him in the bathtub, to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap,
He tried to eat the bathtub, it wouldn't go down his throat!

The Lady called the Doctor, the Doctor called the Nurse.
The Nurse, then, called the Lady with the Alligator Purse."

There was another verse to it, but it's been some years.

There are a couple of variations but the most popular seems to be this one:

Miss Lucy had a baby,
His name was Tiny Tim.
She put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim
He drank up all the water.
He ate up all the soap.
He tried to eat the bathtub,
But it wouldn't go down his throat.
Miss Lucy called the doctor,
Miss Lucy called the nurse.
Miss Lucy called the lady
With the alligator purse.
"Mumps," said the doctor.
"Measles," said the nurse.
"Hiccups," said the lady
With the alligator purse.
Out went the doctor.
Out went the nurse.
Out went the lady
With the alligator purse.
