The things that patients will say!

Hey folks! I always get a kick and a giggle about some of the things that our patients tell us, I wonder what your patients are telling you this month....

Last week's quote; " I have to pee so much, I have a bladder the size of a peanut!"

Saturday night's quote; male patient appox. 25 y/o comes in with a stab wound to the RLQ. after checking "A" and "B" move on to "C" Asked the patient how big was the knife, while I lift up has sweatjacket to look at the wound, there is a large bandaid covering the entrance wound. I ask the patient, Who put on the bandaid? while I am applying dressings. The patient states; "My mom put on the bandaid!" I know I'm a geek but I think that's funny! ^_^

Last week, I had an 84 y.o. F who kept telling me "I'm not pregnant, I'm not pregnant!"

LOL!

At 0430 this morning I was rudely awakened by one of our frequent flyers who said, and I quote, "I called all of the taxis, and none of them are open at this time of night, so I called you." This was for foot pain she had enjoyed for two days until her pain meds ran out.
