Strange April Fool's story

Members don't see this ad.

One of my patients today heard on the radio that it was going to snow tomorrow--obviously an April Fool's joke.

She started declaring it was going to snow, believing it was true. The treatment team had told her that it was a joke. She is quite child-like and not seeing it snow could cause her to get upset.

She became upset, acted out and called the radio station to prove to us it was going to snow.

She ended up calling the station in an intrusive manner, to the point where the station didn't want her contacting them anymore.

Well let's just say the story ended up with her getting some haldol.

I'm now wondering if a media ban should happen on inpatient units on April Fools......

It was snowing here today. 🙁
No one needed haldol for that, though some of us expressed suicidal urges.

We had snow today, 3 inches. 5 inches yesterday, presumed 5 inches tomorrow 🙁

Snow all gone--sun is shining--yay it's spring! Wonder if we need lithium now...

Oh, spring here as well. Sun shining, only about 6 inches snow left. Sunday we get more; spring here as well, no -20 frost anymore. Send lithium and heatwave this way, please.

All this talk of snow makes me so glad I moved to Texas. It's been 60s and 70s this week 🙂

LOL, we got another 7 inches yesterday. But now it is sunshine. Snow keeps 5 mill coasters out of the state, and the rest of the time it is gorgeous sunshine (more hrs sunshine than Miami Beach), almost never a humid day, antelopes all over the place, and the neighbors complain their tulips always get eaten by the deer (the leaves are coming up, finally. 5-6 inches-spring is coming). The wild turkeys in the cemetery are beginning to be intrusive and nature is all over the place.

Life is good, what's a little snow.
