So I went to the doctor for a bee sting.

[Boyhood]

Yeah after an hour of waiting (you have got to love waiting rooms) I had my sting looked over (my hand was all swelled up and fat). I was told to wait for the doctor, and here are this stack of blue diapers on a shelf in plain view. This is on a college health center, so I don't get how they could ever put those to use. I almost took one, but decided not to for obvious reasons.

 

[weswissa]

What were these obvious reasons... they must not be to me.

 

[Takkun]

Why did you go to the doctor for a bee sting? Are you allergic?

And I know my dad would use them after he had back surgery. He wasn't incontinent, but hard to get up to go to the restroom. And easier to clean than those bed pans. Gross. So he'd just lean over, use it, then toss it in the trash.

I hear they suck anyway XD

"I need some diapers because my hand hurts.... Not all of those urinals can flush themselvs ya know? How am I to flush 'em?"

That would have been tough to lie your way out of... Aren't college health centers basicly just a hospital/medical school practice place thingy which is sometimes located on campus? I'm sure people get operations there that need the use of diapers during recovery.

 

[Embraer]

Is a college health center like a regular hospital? Please enlighten me...

 

[Ace]

I'm sure there must be a few people on campus that must need to wear them, they probably know that there is a chance that they would need them so I guess it would make sense that the health center has them.

 

[Darkfinn]

Any medical center would only be wise to keep a stock of diapers on hand. What if someone suddenly develops a bedwetting problem or another form of stress-related incontinence?

He said his hand swelled up. I would think that's a good reason to go just to make sure its nothing major.

As for a college medical center its sort of like hands on learning. I went with my dad to the Stanford medical center over here in Northern California so students could see how the disease MD affects one of his eyes/eye lids. he already knew he had it long before I was born, there was no treatment nor no cure. MD attacks the human muscles, some have it worse as well as in other places.

 

[Darkfinn]

A "College Medical Center" and a "Student Medical Center" are two different things.

I think the-ownage went to the latter kind... which is basicly a tuition supported free clinic on campus... they handle cough/cold/fever, sprained ankles, and the like... things that require medical attention but not hospitalization.

"I need some diapers because my hand hurts.... Not all of those urinals can flush themselvs ya know? How am I to flush 'em?"

I think the proper way or reasoning would be something like this: "I have to take some of those diapers until the swelling on my hand goes down, because my hand is way too big right now to pull my little friend out of my pants to pee" :tongueout:

Oh, and I remember visiting a family member and walking past a room (whose door wide open) stacked bottom to ceiling with diapers in various colors.

Now that's a family trip I'd be happy to go on!

how would they put on the diaper anyway?
Or
Don't they have 2 hands?

 

[bebehuey]

that family member wouldnt be SELF would it?:lol:

can't say that i haven't seen a bag of diapers in quite a few bedroom closets in my line of work.

 

[Crassi]

Why did you go to the doctor for a bee sting?

Those things happen. Last summer I got stung by a bee in the throat, nasty business that is. Six hours in hospital.

 

[Darkfinn]

Double negative... so does that mean you have seen or you haven't seen?

 

[crazyboy]

I went to the emergency room recently for kidney problems, and wound up being there for 91/2 hours. well there was a drawer full of diapers and let's just say i went through about 5 of them. it was kind-of exciting. every time i went to go to the bathroom there was someone in there.........they weren't that great but they never leaked and they were very soft......(blue i dunno what they were)

 

[Honeywell6180]

crazyboy: The most likely bet would be the Kendall Wings Classic, made by Covidien. They are among the most commonly used brands by hospitals. Another possibility would be Attends, but most of that line has a cloth-like outer backing.

Yeah, sorry I haven't checked up in a while here, but you all got it figured out it seems. I went because I wasn't sure if I was allergic, however it seemed I was having an allergic reaction, which could have at the state I was in, gotten a lot worse, being it was sore all the way up to my armpit. A bee sting can be a big enough reason to be put in the hospital if you are allergic. There was a chance it could have made it difficult for me to breath if it would have kept getting worse, but I came down from it after a few days. damn bee. and yeah-- Darkfinn, you're right I believe. it is to support academic success and personal development through the integration of health education and clinical treatment of illness that assists with the following areas: Medical Clinic, Women's Clinic, Psychiatric Services, Counseling Services, Pharmacy, and Laboratory.
