One of my all time favorites is since my water broke I will have a difficult delivery because it will be a dry birth, or I'm really bleeding I have a big clod on my pad. Nothing to do c OB I had an instructor who had a pt and his wife said her husband had a mighty big fart meaning he had a mighty big myocardial infarct.
I have had several pts lately that have "busted" their mucous plug. Also had a couple bring it in to show us, uggggggg! Why don't the docs educate about this???

We had a patient that was going to bring in her mucous plug but said she couldn't because her cat ATE it!!!!!!!!!
All of the nurses at the desk started laughing and she was totally serious and actually said "it's not funny." But it sooooo was!!!!
I went into my patients room to ask how the last feeding went for her baby. The mom was breastfeeding and pumping. I asked the dad how much the baby ate, he said he fed the baby "about 2cc of meconium". I laughed and said, "I sure hope you didn't!" then he said "Oh I mean colostrum! I was just trying to sound smart!" We all had a good laugh at that one!
