How many people think "catheter" when you hear the word "foley"?

[undeterred]

That's what they were called when I was a hospital nursing assistant, and no man or woman wanted one.
Maybe we should give "foley" a catheter. }(

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. I think about the people who do sound for movies.

See the sig line.

[undeterred]

2. I have no idea what that is

Hmmmm

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. You are missing the most interesting, most wonderful, most excellent

part of movie making:

"While the dialogue editor is stuck in front of a computer, I'm on my feet all day throwing car doors around and punching roasted chickens."

5. Foley artists love squeaky things.

Wow. I never thought about it. :hi:

[hyphenate]

7. Yeah

I think movies as well. I used to spend a lot of time in the sound department when I was at Universal, so that naturally leaps to mind.

20. That's my first reaction, too!

As it would be with any good film buff.

"Catheter" would be my second reaction. :-)

[Midlodemocrat]

3. LOL. Embarrassed to admit that I do. Some of the time.

6. I don't

but when I hear catheter I think stent. And I think about the stent going from my Kidney to my Bladder. And then I think about how they going to remove this on Thursday. Please Lord let them put me unconscious. I'm imagining them taking a catheter with a claw on the end and then them Roto-Rootering their way to my bladder where the claw grabs hold of the stent and then they YANK IT OUT.

Pardon me while I set free another Kidney stone.

8. What is a catheter?

[undeterred]

10. A medical device placed in the bladder to collect urine

Its used for patients who have lost control of bladder function temporarily due to surgery or illness or permanently due to paralysis...

Not much fun having one inserted.

17. Where the hell did you get that diagram

That is for a bladder irrigation system, a regular foley cath does not use a hanging bottle of water. That is a triple lumen cath for when a man has prostate surgery.

[undeterred]

22. Sorry

I googled foley catheter and it was the best diagram I found to give the general idea without getting the post locked.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

9. I did.

:shrug: I wonder what that says about me?

[BrotherBuzz]

11. Mrs. Buzz, the nurse and house comedian immediately did

She's been miserable for two days because she can't come up with THE joke. I shared all my gutter piss knowledge to no avail. There has to be a joke buried in there, somewhere. :shrug:

[skygazer]

12. I do

I must watch too many medical shows...

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Me...

every single time it's brought up.

[REP]

14. I Also Get The Sharp Pain

I've just been foleyed for surgeries, but that's still too much. I'm just hoping Rep. Double-J Stent stays out of trouble.

[meegbear]

15. I think of the people who make the noises on film ...

fo·ley

1. A technical process by which sounds are created or altered for use in a film, video, or other electronically produced work.
2. A person who creates or alters sounds using this process.

[mduffy31]

16. I do

but I am a nurse so it is natural

[wildhorses]

18. me too, YOU!!

nursing vs. movie dialouge....who knew :shrug:

[AngryAmish]

19. I'm kin to a bunch of Foleys

My grandmother's maiden name was Foley.

21. I think of:

Matt.
