it just bothers me that sometimes not just patients screw up triage papers... but RN's and PA's???

what's wrong in the world these days???

here's the PA triaged...

"56y/o female with c/o ***** boils" , (he meant abcess with a lot of pus)

the RN

"gold bladder pain" i suppose it's a gall bladder pain

A few days ago had this one....exactly what she wrote on the sign-in sheet...

"I am 9 weeks pregnant and having virginal bleeding"

How about a chief complaint of new monia?

I just hope that doesn't turn into old monia. I hear that can be pretty rough.

Had a pt sign in with "glads swole"
we the triage nurses play a guessing game to determine what it is BEFORE we call the patient. This is what we came up with- Swollen glands, or ass swollen
pt comes to triage- what's the problem ma'am
Swallowed some glass...
darn, wrong again lol
