What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

I'm only doing my clinical rotation for nursing school (last semester thank goodness) so I have VERY limited experiences but had a woman come in today who bumped her hand at the bowling alley on a table. Rated her pain 2-3/10. What.....the.....hell?

Get ready, honey, you'll see more ridiculous stuff than that if you stay in ER.

I had one during NP clinicals who had had a wreck 2 YEARS prior, had "a piece of glass in his head" and wanted it out. AT 0600 in the morning.

Turns out, no glass, just a numb spot above his eyebrow where the glass had nicked a nerve. He insisted on surgery. We referred him to his PCP.

I have one..not so ridiculous, but out there none the less. Lady comes to the ED because she states she "cut" herself while washing up with a loofah..any takers as to where she cut herself? Yep, ladies and gents...guess she wont be wearing tight jeans for a moment

Did they know you live alone? They should have found a way to keep you for observation for at least 23 hours - not driving home with narcotics on board.
And this is NOT a silly reason to go to the ER, it IS an emergency!

Stomach pain, nausea & vomiting x 6 hours. No fever. Came to the ER by ambulance...

Why not wait at least 24 hours to see if the thing resolves itself?

0130- 9 year old with a sore throat that started 1 hour ago
child with fever for 6 hours- did you give tylenol? No
2- 9 year olds with earring back stuck to back of ear
family of 4 at 2300 with one with sore throat, one with cough, one with sore eye, one with runny nose

sooo many more when I think, "Are you freaking serious?"
