...are those that tell of what happened to the of the bottom half of my Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Peace Pop that just fell off the stick and onto the floor.

In the hospital, there is no five-second rule.

There's NEVER a five-second rule for anything sticky. Bleah!

This cannot be any worse than realizing some elf made off with the second half of you're vanilla swiss almond hagen daz that was in your freezer.

In the hospital there is a NO second rule. I am sorry about your lost.


When I was younger I somehow got it into my head that it was the "five-minute rule."
This struck me as odd, but allowed me to drop something, leave the room, walk the dog, come back, pick it up, and eat it.

I was a disgusting little kid.
Not that I've gotten much better with age.

A sad thing indeed. OK, so it would have been sad if it had happened to any kind of generic ice-cream bar, but to have it happen to a Peace Pop... *sigh*

(BTW, I see you have added me as a friend... hi!)

Actually, I've found that the 5-second rule does apply in non-clinical areas of the hospital, much to the benefit of various (non-sticky) foodstuffs I've clumsily dropped.

My office is right off the ICU, and God only knows what I track in here.

Unfortunately, in my years as a clinician, I have seen other nurses who think that there is a five second rule when it comes to patients' pills.
