Nurses love drummers

rogue_drummer · #1 08-08-2012, 10:15 PM

Not to be too long-winded here, but last week I was having pains in my elbow and my back was all messed up and hurting. So I go to our family doc, but he's booked up so I opt to see his PA. After a few minutes waiting his PA walks in with a student nurse in tow and begin the examination by asking the usual questions.

After I replying that I have not done any heavy lifting lately or weightlifting they were stumped as to what caused my pain. I then had the bright idea to say "But I'm a drummer and have been really practicing a lot lately".

Both these ladies eyes lit up and they started smiling and laughing and saying "oh cool!". (I gotta add, both these ladies were very attractive). As I recall, both ladies were VERY interested in talking drums and drummers and they finished the exam treating me as some kind of rock star celebrity.

That was so cool I had to share it!

Too bad for you this story didn't end the way it would have in a porn movie :(

See, this is the positive karma you had accumulated after all those brutal auditions you've been experiencing the past few years. Paybacks, baby! :)

Well, nurses realize who holds the real talent in a band. Drummers are friendlier, more down to earth, and have way less of an ego that singers, guitarists...

Now did you get any phone numbers? more details please :)

rogue_drummer · #5 08-08-2012, 11:57 PM

Funny thing, Fuo, I was thinking the same thing. If it was a porn movie it would have a far more interesting ending. Haha!

LarryZ - If I had a lot of guts - I may have tried, but I surely would have gotten caught. The PA knows my wife who is one of her patients. lol STILL, it was awfully tempting! :)

These chicks were on the ball - they knew exactly who Neil Peart is. Gotta love 'em!!

My wife is a nurse. Here's a tip for all you drummers: marry a nurse.

ddrumman2004 · #8 08-09-2012, 12:37 AM

My wife is a nurse also....saved my life back in April when I had a heart attack.

Yes....marry a nurse.

SticksEasy · #9 08-09-2012, 12:45 AM

My wife is working on getting into nursing school...

So it's official... There's something to the nurses and drummers thing.

Toolate · #10 08-09-2012, 02:50 AM

I try to nurse on my wife- does that count?

Absolutely! 8Mile. Paybacks!!

Man I've speng my life in hospital and still haven't had that accidental 'oops I didn't mean to touch you there, it's so big, I better relieve it' moment...

A fair amount of flirty exchanges and glances and you're right nurses do seem interested in drummers, they ask loads of questions and most impressivly remember you and your band next time they see you.

The closest I've got to any action is a finger up my arse. By male doctors with knuckles like golf balls!
Not really what I was after...

Oh once a female nurse had to pack a fistula in my arse with gauss... She was rough and I felt abused...

Still I'll keep the faith. Love nurses, being with one would be a buzz!

Okay guys, This thread doesn't need to get any worse than it already is.
Let just calmly walk towards the exit and find ourselves another thread. No need to make a scene. C'mon, single file, back out the way you came in.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, and I'm looking for a pro-level drum key. I don't care how much it costs. Will all keys work the same? Will a house key work? Should I check ebay?

House keys usually aren't set up correctly, & you can't adjust them. You're better off using a "sound man" key. These automatically tune everything slack & dispense blankets + gaffer tape.

My wife is also a nurse. I agree with construct, marry a nurse. After 19 years I am still happily married.

Mad About Drums · #18 08-09-2012, 02:05 PM

Nurses... :)

MaryO · #19 08-09-2012, 03:29 PM

You know, more and more guys are getting into the nursing profession. Maybe I don't feel so great....

This almost made me spit out my oatmeal.

mmmh.. a sloppy backbeat ... where is Mikey's drum key?

Bruce M. Thomson · #23 08-09-2012, 06:40 PM

In my wild & crazy days now long behind me, a young nurse told me "if you can't get a date; get a nurse"

Mad About Drums · #24 08-09-2012, 06:45 PM

... but which one to chose, that is the question...

Only if you are the house band.

GRUNTERSDAD · #30 08-10-2012, 01:13 AM

and I work at a hospital and you guys must know different nurses than me. Mine seem to never be in a good mood.

haha- you sound sick.

This thread should have been title "I love nurses"- what a confusing title. The OP should be reprimanded and apologize.

Man oh man.....when I came out of bypass surgery back in April, the nurse that took care of me in ICU was a doll! I told her I wanted to take her home with me but my wife stopped that.

Her name was "Dawn". Oh yeah, I'm lucky my wife has a great sense of humor and she even sits at the drums and bangs on them. Nurses are cool!
