I just got this has an inmate request to see the PA:

" The breakthrough pain is becoming worse and causeing diminished dexterity and constant mental distraction"

(yeast infection)

I kid you not it reads just like that. Can't make this up.

Diminished dexterity from a yeast infection...hate it when that happpens. :rolleyes:

Not to killjoy this hilarious thread, but most of my I/M requests are just to inform the medical department that we owe them their $4 copay, or that they have a medical problem (that needs to be addressed by sick call).

The spelling is usually horrid, but even more funny is that when I respond, I forget how to spell and have to look everything up in a dictionary. I don't know why that is.

The people yelling about how they can't breath remind me of the guy having a seizure, stopping to get up on his elbow and hock a lugie (sp?) to the side and then go back to having his seizure.

Had one pinto want a sperm count.

Had another that was in "slightly unbearable pain".

No these are not the class valedictorians indeed.

my two favourites are

1. my kidneys are visible swollen. my staff were reluctant to respond, i on the other hand wanted to...just to see visible swollen kidneys

2. a request to attend a gout seminar from an offender who sends in at least 5 kites per day. kindly i informed the patient this would not be possible until they were paroled and it was on his own dime.
