Wink Re: Guess this chief complaint

Ok. Never posted before but I couldn't resist when I saw this thread. I'm not even in nursing school yet (which is why I haven't posted) and this happened at a dr. office not in a hospital. My husband got hurt at work trying to turn a very large wrench. He put his side again it and pushed until he "felt something crack" (yes it was a rib and he did get the bolt loose). He had a lot of pain and had a hard time catching his breath. I told him he had to go to the dr. and even called his father (they work together) and told him that he was in charge of getting my hubby to the dr. On the form for the dr. where it asked "Why did you come in today?" He wrote "Because my wife made me."

jellybean 1 is right. I guessed the same. Two other nurses and the doc could not figure it out.
