When Viagra first came out, an elderly man showed up at my PCP's office (a colleague told me) and wanted some of that new drug, "Niagra". I told her I thought that was starch!...come to think of it, I guess it sort of is!

Anyway, a few months ago I had a patient who was from Montana. Her husband is a native of this area and they were visiting on their way to the coast. She came in for an acute problem but we got to discussing her cholesterol. I told her that I usually recommend fish oil. Well, I know that's what I said. It took a couple of tries before she knew that was what I said! Not sure what she thought she heard!!

I love Paula Dean but I watched her for 6 months before I knew that strange word she was saying was OIL. Also, that brings to mind that scene in Gettsburg where a captured Confederate soldier says, "we are fighting for our rats". It took the officer from Maine questioning him a few minutes to figure out he meant rights. By the way I have I have big time Pittsburgh accent and no way in the world is there any room for me to be laughing at other peoples accents. I have friends that call me up and make me say words like downtown, east liberty and giant eagle just so they can howl with laughter. In Pittsburgh it is dawnnntawnnn, s'liberty and gi'neegale.

Every time I say I take Allegra for my allergies some one makes a joke about Viagra("Did you say you take Viagra for you allergies", ha ha so funny I forgot to laugh). It has happened about 1000 times and is getting a little old. When someone ask me what I take for my allergies I don't want to answer.

Today, I heard one of the RN's joking at clinical that someone had written in the med "lowertab" (for Loritab).

She said she took the med sheet to pharm to get other information verified and then asked the Pharmacist if she could have an "uppertab"...he gave her a piece of chocolate.

I love it when people come into the ER and tell me they have been "vomiking" all day.

I also had a pt that came in stating that she was constipated for the past two weeks and then her son's girlfriend piped up and said, "Yeah and you even took two anemas today" The doc and I looked at each other and it dawned on us at the same time that she was saying "enema"!!!
