I was at work the other night and an inmate came up to me during sick call, he complained that his lips has been chapped for over a week, and now they were burning him, and in the morning yellow crust would be on his lips.
I noticed that his mouth was really shiny and I asked him what was he putting on his lips now, he said " I have this antibotic ointment I have been using for it" I asked him to being me the ointment, he went back to his cell, while in the meantime I look in his chart. When he came back a few minutes later, he handed me the packets he had of the antibiotic I read the ingredients, I asked him if he had a allergies, and he said he was allergic to sulfur, I showed him the ingredients on the packet, and told him that he was having an allergic reaction, the antibotic cream has sulfate in it. He looked at me, and replied" Your not not kidding", I advised him to read the labels before he applied anything anymore. I saw him 2 days later, and I asked him how he was, " ALOT BETTER" your my favorite nurse. I looked at him and replied" I bet you say that to all the girls!" he laughed and went back into his cell. Another good day...
