Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Have you been peed on, thrown up on, and coded on all before your first coffee break? Welcome home.

Civilians call your sense of humor "morbid"-you call it Tuesday. Written by Bailey Fitzgerald, Dark Humor Facts for Nurses Who've Seen Some Things delivers 500 twisted, true, and ridiculous facts about the human body, medical history, and the chaotic floor you clock into every shift.

Inside this wildly entertaining, gallows-humor collection, you'll discover:

- The Human Body is a Ridiculous Machine: Why stomach acid can dissolve metal, how 60,000 miles of blood vessels still can't be found on the first stick, and why IV-evasion skills develop in utero.- Weird Things Found Inside People: Bizarre ER foreign-body extractions, 40-year-old plastic objects discovered in lungs, and the official medical term "Rapunzel syndrome".- The Night Shift & Hospital Chaos: The circadian science behind the 3 a.m. slump, decoding secret hospital color codes, and why uttering the word "quiet" on shift is a punishable offense.- Quack Cures & Historical Grossness: Victorian teething syrups loaded with morphine, lead hair tonics, and the era when surgeons wore unwashed, blood-stained coats as badges of honor.- Hospital Bureaucracy & ICD-10 Absurdity: Official, billable diagnosis codes for being struck by an orca or set on fire while water skiing.

Whether you're hiding in the supply closet, recovering from a 12-hour shift in compression socks, or texting screenshots to the one coworker who understands at 3 a.m., this book is your official support group in paperback form.

The Perfect Gift For: ER, ICU, and night-shift nurses, nursing students, nurse practitioners, Nurse Week gifts, White Elephant exchanges, and anyone who has earned the right to laugh.
