Go get the man some vanilla ice cream you dumb shat nurse.


Sorry, but that line by Jason Roberts always offended me. If he wants to talk up treats to the patient he should go get them himself. Entitled MD pr*ck. Not too important...small part... but what a jerk.

That amused me when I just watched it for the first time, like a nurse has nothing better to do.

It was the early 1980s though and not that far away from the 1970s, so it could have just been the attitude back then.

I was there but too young to pick up on things like this to remember.

Yeah.. I realize it's just the time period. I'm suppose I'm overly sensitive p/ 35 years as an RN.

No argument here! Haha, of all the things to get offended about, not people getting vaporized, not everyone getting terminally ill, not families being torn apart! No. Telling the nurse to get some ice cream was it!
