Published

What are some funny C/O people have had coming into your triage area? Misspelled words too...

We had a lady come in the other night because she ate raw chicken -Claimed she didn't know it was raw.

Lots of people come in with soar throats.

We also had a mom who tried to spell diarrhea several times on the check in -Finally crossed it out and wrote S**Ts a lot.

How about, "I smoke marijuana every night, but I don't feel anything this time"

Just how does one restore the patient's favorite (but missing) response to street drugs? :uhoh3: :uhoh21:

Specializes in Emergency Room/corrections.

I had a guy tell me just this week, that he wanted to see a "real" doctor, one with a Phd! I told him we had physicians here and that he wouldnt find a Phd in our ER, but maybe on the local college campus!

Apparantly he thought there were different types of doctors in the ER???? And he wanted the highest one.

I love it when our frequent flyers (you know, the 30-something females with abdominal pain that nooooo one ever finds the cause for :rolleyes: ) come in claiming that they've been puking all day, their pain is 12/10, they need their Ativan/Demerol/Phenergan NOW.......and then b**** us out when they can't have anything to eat because the doctor's made them NPO........ :angryfire
