We get both on our OB unit.....While working in a telemetry unit, did have one pt tell me that she received her head injury from aliens strafing her yard and then there was the pt in the ER who told me she was on latex and rabbit pills (lasix and verapamil)....
And, not long ago I had one pt swear that she couldn't be pregnant because she had never had sex.....And just a few weeks before that I inherited a pt who looked pregnant, stated that she was and when I couldn't find the fetal heart, I did an us, which confirmed there was no fetus....So, I get the doc to come in and check my vision and results (since, sometimes on nights, you DO wonder if you are correct or even functioning correctly), and he concurred. The pt refused to believe it, told us we were both morons and left AMA....Later, I got a call from a neighboring facility that wanted us to fax them her records...Imagine their shock when I told them she wasn't pregnant and that had been confirmed via Ultrasound.....I hate to admit it, but we did laugh over that one...........

We got a pt in one night who said that she thought that she was in labor. The nurse that checked her couldn't find the cervix. The OB came in and she couldn't feel it and did a speculum exam and an US. The nurse couldn't feel the woman's cervix because she didn't have one after her hysterectomy.

I'm guessing the next logical step was a psych consult ??

I like when pts are getting an "epidermal" for pain relief!
or when the dr. "busts" their bag of water.

not an ob story, but funny none the less. working in male medical. had regular pt, old gentleman. Parkinsons and defaulter on meds. looked like a turtle with wrinkly neck. Alway's wore a floppy sun hat that covered half his face. Was nurse in bed with cot side's. Came in one morning after taking report to find him holding on to cotsides but trembeling so bad that whole bed vibrated. When asked how he was this morning, his dry awnser was: ohh.. just ideling, thank you..
