ER on Thursday isn't all it's cracked up to be

I was in ER today, that was interesting. It was nuts there, blood cultures were the order of the day, had 7 sets ordered, that's 140mL of blood. But there was one patient that, well, he just has to be described. He was the last draw before going home and when we walked into the room he had a turban over his head that he made from the sheet on the bed. He was feeling himself up. He stunk. The phleb that I was with was setting up her equipment and she looked and he was just starting at her, feeling himself up. Oh yeah and this guy had a nitrile glove on his right hand. So she asked him to sit down and he did. He sat on a stool and wasn't wearing anything under his gown, and his legs were spread, I got a free show. So the phleb that I was with poked him and he swore, which is odd since he has a tattoo. But the weirdest part was, when she had the tubes on the table, he touched where you enter them and then licked his fingers clean, this was after the draw was done. Ugh
