After banging the back of the pt's head on the top of the rear door frame during an elaborate bariatric lift assist...

Me: (points to red "ALLERGIES" wristband) You're not allergic to bumps on the head, are you?

Went over like a stale fart. Okay, they can't all be winners.

My friend Myke always pulls this one on me, whenever i get injured: Once, I had hit my head on a Oak shelf, and my friend Myke who is an EMt, picke dme up from my house in a rush, because of the fight with my father, and he climbs into the back seat with me, and checks my bump. He goes: "Oh My God! That's a huge bump!" Then, i freaked, and he laughed.

One thing funny in my Sports medicine Class in zhighschool though, is last thursday, we practiced giving the Standardizd Assessment of Concussions test, I was the PT, and my friend was the evaluator. earlier in the day, I got into a fight with my father, he wakced me on the head with a Controller. And, after max gave me the SAC, he looked at my Score. A 23/30. Failure. Good thing my Athletic trainer didn't see my score. Lol. I'd be screwed.
