ill go first, one girl wrote as her symptoms...."east infection"

In our er we have a board we keep track of each room and the chief "complaint". Some listed are as follows:
foot vs grinder, grinder won
glass up butt (after having sex and falling off the bed into a cabinet)
r ear, l leg, hemorroid pain (brought her fully packed luggage to er via ambulance) later that nite developed chest pain, what a surprise!
arrow to neck, (pt pulled arrow out on own and brother was kind enough to tie bloodied shirt to neck as tourniquet prior to ambulance arrival)
"eyes is fuzzy siz i git up thiz mornin, didn't git to bieed laz nite tho" I think this meant My eyes were blurry since I got up this am but I never went to bed last nite."
abdominal pain r/t winning hotdog eating contest

I always like the pts that have a prostrate problem!!

A few years ago I was reading a collegues notes where she had written that the pt was not easily aroused!! When I suggested she look at a dictionary for the words meaning, she became a little red faced.

However the best one would have to have been two medicos discussing an elderly POW pt. In Oz we have a hospital Prince of Wales (POW) the medicos were heard to say they didn't realise this hospital was working during WW2. I pointed out ot these two interlectual genuises that A) the pt was tatooed from being at Auchwitz ?spelling, B) Had only been in Oz for couple years and C) POW stood for prisoner of war.

Too funny. Thanks for digging up this older thread.

Not a sign in slip but a phone call, I crushed a demerol pill and mixed it with water then I shot it up my arm. Now my arm is black, should I be worried? HHMM, go figure!
