Hey now, don't diss on us southern women!!!!

Two nights ago I triaged a guy who kept telling me he was diagnosed with "Vagina" of the heart. He kept giggling like a 14 yr old. I didnt really have the heart to tell him it was angina.

He stopped laughing about his Vagina of the heart when he learned he was having his Second cocaine induced MI....

I wasnt dissing you southern women katie, as seeing how Im southern and my family is full of southern women, but this was the funniest thing Ive heard in along time and thought I would share, it sure made my day, In fact Im married to a big haired southern gal from Mississippi, myself.

Vagina of the heart huh? Sounds like an interesting self diagnosis! LOL, ROTFLOL

I had a young guy present to triage with a c/c of "ran out of peanut-butter balls". after finishing the triage sheet I asked him again, because i wasn't about ready to tell the MD what he'd said. He repeated himself and when asked what happens when he doesn't get his peanut butter balls, he replied "I fall out."
Finally, we discovered what he meant.....phenobarbitol. We couldn't believe he thought he was getting peanut butter balls the whole time! and I'm from the south too!!

I had a cute little 'ol lady that told everyone that she was a "diabetical" and a guy who always asked for his "Blistaril" (Vistaril). Oh... and I have a precious Aunt from Alabama who rants about her 70 year old brother taking "that damn Viagner"!!!

And here I thought that the cardiac/vaginal connection was purely a female phenomenon, how silly of me...

I'm a southern woman too, born and raised in Georgia, now living in West Texas. Usually my accent isn't much of a problem; in fact a lot of people don't realize I'm not from here.

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!!

One of our very young maternity patients wanted to know how to get her baby boy "circle-sizes"
