A registered nurse pulled through with a seriously helpful Twitter thread on what to do if one gets the Coronavirus. If anything, this information could do wonders for anyone caught up in a stressful predicament of not knowing what to believe, with conflicting information coming from all over the place.

Healthcare professionals see a lot. For whatever reason people try to trick doctors, nurses and technicians, whether it's an adult trying to scam the system, someone trying to score a prescription, a kid taking a lie too far or some general WTF-ness. Here are more times healthcare professionals saw right through lying patients.
You don't need to be a doctor, nurse or midwife to know where babies come from. That said, some people are way too old, and in some cases have too many kids, to not know the most basic information. How are people so bad at this. It's okay when kids ask hilarious questions in sex-ed because they're just learning, but this is too far. People have strange relationships with their doctors, going as far to deny really WTF stuff.
Doctors, Nurses, certified nursing assistants, pharmacists, and anyone even tangentially related to medicine constantly have to talk to people who have no basic understanding of how their own body works. Patients will do stupid things, lie, and even deny the most WTF stuff. It's kind of sad to think about where we'd be without medical expertise, and it's flabbergasting to see what people think is healthy behavior.
When you're not in your right mind and on incredibly powerful drugs, there's no knowing what you're gonna say. You might confess your love to a nurse, imagine you're in a spaceship, or just freak the hell out. What might be awkward or scary then usually turns into a pretty good story. Here are more crazy things people said under anesthesia.
This is the kind of emotionally-stirring post, centered on courage and selflessness in the face of true tragedy that has the ability to reawaken an idle faith in humanity. Seriously. It doesn't get much more powerful than this. As for the nurse, it sounds like she's since discovered word of this post, thanks to social media doing some good in the world; and she's connected with the brother who left the post on Facebook.
My heart goes out to the nurses of the world: as part of their profession they willingly (have to, really) delve deep into the dirty sexual secrets of many an active patient to ensure dudes aren't walking around with their dicks falling off or ladies aren't pissing fire---and really a whole wealth of other skin-crawling conditions we'd do just as well to not dwell on. Do any of your stories/answers to your nurse hold a candle to these 15 clearly tumultuous sexual histories?
Being a nurse might be one of the most under appreciated jobs there is.
Philip Urtz sees his wife come home and unwind after arduous 14-hour shifts and can't help but feel for her. Jessica (his wife) is always coming home during the late hours of the night. Making it difficult to arrange a proper sit down dinner. Because of this Philip decided to write a touching note to let his wife know he understands the struggle.
