Maybe the missus is an EMT? Jeez, one Brown is scary enough, two is terrifying.

I'm betting that Mrs. Brown is his OMC (Offline Marriage Control):p

Mrs Brown may or may not be an RSI qualified Intensive Care Paramedic :D

Brown has to be careful, suxamethonium is tasteless and vecuronium comes as an ambigious looking dry powder ....

I had a partner whose wife guaranteed his faithfulness with the promise that if she busted him cheating, he'd wake up paralyzed, with her over him holding the ambu bag, asking if he really wanted it.

He's still living, and she's still practicing medicine. I guess it worked!

Most paralytics are neutralized by stomach acids. I know this is definitely the case for the curare derivatives, but not 100% certain for succinylcholine.

Was that a small Machiavelli reference I detected?

Yup. I scared the crap out of my teacher by doing a report on The Prince in 4th grade.

Once asked a 16 yo if she had intercourse lately and was told no, only for my partner to ask if she'd had sex and be told yes...


Failing on your part to be honest. Dumb it down to the most common denominator.

Its no different to be saying I think you may be suffering from a Myocardial infarction vs just simply saying you might be suffering a heart attack.

The male's unique codes instruct the fetus to develop large and fast. The woman's unique codes instruct the fetus to develop small and slow, trying to keep resources to her own body; as compensation, extra development of the brain instructed. The woman's unique codes favor intelligence as a means of survival.

Ahhh so I can blame my dad for being 6'4" 260 pounds and dumb as a rock. Good to know:)

We had a call for a 14y/o with abd pain in a house with 3 generations of hispanic family&catholic memorabilia everywhere.The only english speakers there were the pt&het 9y/o brother.When my partner asked if she was pregnant,she paled&denied the possibility.Her brother got an evil looking grin on his face&translated.The womem all screamed&grandma grabbed her chest,went down&smacked her head on an end table.Oh great,2 pts now.Turned out the teen had a tubal pregnancy.

Not to sound judgemental, but if it's a catholic family and the female is complaining of abd pain, even if they deny they could be pregnant I assume they are until the hospital proves otherwise. Just like any elderly female hispanics out here we consider to be diabetic until proven otherwise

Speaking as the patient....women being asked that question are not all idiots.

I really cannot get pregnant. It's been confirmed by 3 different specialists. I hate going to the ER because no medical type person I encounter there ever believes this, even if they're looking at my info that states I cannot be pregnant. I get asked over and over and when I repeat that I can't get pregnant, I get sarcastic answers. Sometimes even snide little questions about my sexual history. Since, you know, everyone knows that young women lie about this stuff and are too dumb to know if they're pregnant.

It's pretty satisfying to see the expression on their faces when they realize i'm not lying and they've just been fairly rude and pushy about it.

If people around here would consider a hysterectomy or tubal as part of their medical or surgical history, I might listen to them. But so far no one I've asked those questions to here has told us that in the H&P.
