Yesterday was my first day back to work after the rumor was started. (Someone in registration started a rumor that I hit a patient in the chest. There were 3 other nurses in the room with me and all 3 said it never happened). It was very busy and to my surprise a few of my co workers didnt hear the rumor! One even thought it was funny because she couldn't see me doing that either. My boss is going to investigate and found out who started this rumor!!!! I told her I dont even hit my kids!!!

 

[purplern]

Vicki OMG what on earth would make someone do something so mean to you? You poor thing. People never cease to amaze me

Sorry that happened, Vicki.

Tell me about it Suzanne!!
One of my roommates (I'm in an apartment this year so I have my own bedroom but I share a bathroom with one girl and a kitchen and living area with 2 girls) and one of them thinks it's okay to eat our food. It just blows my mind that she thinks it's okay to just go in the fridge/freezer and eat whatever she likes. I had pasta sauce (prego) in the fridge that I had just opened and BARELY used and I went to get it yesterday and there was hardly any left! She was like "oh, I'm sorry. I was just about to go to the store to get some more. I thought it was Monique's...do you need it now?" I didn't quite know what to say cause it was quite a shock...so I told her I had enough for right now. But after she came back she never said anything to me and I never saw any more sauce.
She is quite rude! If it happens again I will say something. Especially since I suspect she may have also eaten some of my Tyson's chicken strips.

I dont know! Registration has been getting in trouble for not doing their job. I think they are trying to get us in trouble! Which is really childish! But this was just a total lie and my boss is very angry, so maybe it'll stop!!! I dont even hit the ones that are beating us up!

Thanks Heidi!
I dont understand people at all! We bring food at work sometimes for everyone in the ER. But one guy from Respiratory thinks we're an open buffet and comes and helps himself! We would never deny anyone food because we usually have a LOT!!( We tend to graze when we are at work-I think it's mostly stress) All we ask is that you ASK before you take!!

 

[LCTsMom]

It's never easy to live with others, you always get that one person, like you're stuck with, Heidi. It's bad enough when your own KIDS finish your favorite food...that one thing that you were dreaming about ALL DAY.....

 

[LCTsMom]

Vicki, I'm glad to hear that the rumor didn't get as far as you'd thought. What goes around comes around, they'll get theirs! What petty people!

UPMC chair Corpuz Jr. sentenced on child porn charges

By Michael Hasch
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, January 31, 2008

The chair of the Department of Medicine at UPMC South Side hospital and former president of the medical staff was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to possession of child pornography.

Dr. Marcelo B. Corpuz Jr., 63, a cardiologist from Oakdale, also was ordered by Senior U.S. District Judge Gustave Diamond to register as a child sex offender, serve five years of supervised release and pay a $10,000 fine as part of a plea agreement signed with prosecutors.

A state police officer discovered in April that Corpuz was using a software program to share child pornography videos on the Internet, prosecutors said.

An examination of the hard drive on his computer revealed 54 child pornography videos, prosecutors said.

There is no indication that Corpuz, who faced a possible maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, used computer hospitals to view the videos.

"We expect him to resign from the medical staff," UPMC spokesman Frank Raczkiewicz said. "If he does not do so voluntarily, he will be removed involuntarily."

Diamond heard from more than a half-dozen witnesses -- including family members, fellow physicians, patients and a priest -- who asked the judge for leniency.

"From my experience as a physician in the field of cardiology of over two decades, there are few doctors ... who have exhibited such an extraordinary commitment to providing a remarkably high quality of care for his patients as Marc Corpuz," said Dr. John C. Phillips, who has offices in the South Side, in a letter to Diamond.

Attorney Stuart W. Benson III, an attorney specializing in disability law, wrote that only a fraction of the physicians he has known have demonstrated "the dedication to treatment and compassion for the needs of the patient" that Corpuz has displayed over the years.

Corpuz, who is married and has three adult children, was raised in a small fishing village in the Philippines and received his medical degree from the University of the Philippines.

He served his residency at the former St. Francis Medical Center in Lawrenceville and practiced in the Pittsburgh area for more than 35 years, with offices in the South Side, Uptown and McKees Rocks. He served as president of the medical staff at UPMC South Side from 2003-05 before being appointed chairman of the Department of Medicine.

Corpuz was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals at the conclusion yesterday's hearing.

I'll share with the group:

Subject: Fw: You know you're a nurse when...


You know you're a nurse when...

-the front of your scrubs reads "Nurses... here to save your ***, not kiss it!"

-you occasionally park in the space with the "physicians only"
sign.. and knock it over.

-you believe some patients are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.

-you recognize that you can't cure stupid.

-you own at least three pens with the names of prescription medications on them.

-you believe there's a special place in hell for the inventor of the call light.

-you believe that saying "it can't get any worse" causes it to get worse just to show you it can.

-you wash your hands BEFORE you go to the bathroom.

-you believe that any job where you can drive to work in your pajamas is a cool one.

-you consider a tongue depressor an eating utensil.

-eating microwave popcorn out of a clean bedpan is perfectly natural.

-you've been exposed to so many x-rays that you consider it a form of birth control.

-you've ever heard a patient with a nose ring, a brow ring, and twelve earrings say "I'm afraid of shots."

time correcting everyone and pointing out upside down x-rays.

-you don't get excited about blood, unless it's your own.

-you've sworn to have "do not resuscitate" tattooed on your chest. Soon

-discussing dismemberment over a gourmet meal is perfectly normal to you.

-your idea of fine dining is anywhere you can sit down to eat.
