Fun With Typos
I'm doing my module work and as you might imagine have come across a few typos. Most of them don't make any sense at all, some are harmless but a couple have made me laugh out loud.
My oncological emergencies module last month got all Shakespearian on me when it said “...goal is to shrink thee tumour”. I started having visions of Hamlet in the personal protective equipment I've got to wear when giving chemotherapy.
I'm now doing my chemotherapy module. Learning the trillion types of chemotherapy is hard enough with having conspiracy theories like this thrown in - “... they can be used to debunk tumours...” I knew it! Cancer is just a giant con by Big Pharma to rob you blind (heh... I originally typed “rib you blind”)!
So work is going well. I've been doing some interesting stuff and learning so much. The nurses have all been good to me and I seem to be coping pretty well at this point. It's nice to know all the nursing skills I've acquired in the past are still there, just sleeping (so to speak) and allowing me to build on them.
But these moments of unintentional levity make it a lot more fun.
5 Witty Remarks:
...."alas, poor Yorick.He should have shrunk thee tumor."
Forget nursing and "get thee to a noonery". For those that don't know (and none of you will because I'm making it up as I go along lol) a noonery is a lunch time drinking session. Duh!! LOL
Yes, a noonery is a lunch time drinking session. But a nooner is an entirely different session; one not openly discussed with ones office compatriots, except perhaps those of the same gender. Suffice it to say, they are most "pleasurable".
Too funny. I'd actually like to see MythBusters debunk that tumor conspiracy.
Can one treat one's toomers with nooners? Does Jack Daniels have any oncological efficacy?
