I work in a Cardiac stepdown unit at night. We had a patient who was sent to us post-op from heart surgery. He was one angry guy all the time who had a nasty attitude with all the staff and he was a Preist!! Anyways, the nurse ran out of his room laughing one night because her conversation went as follows:

Nurse) "Mr.X, your doctor would like you to wear this C-Pap machine so we can keep your O2 levels above 90.

Patient) " I don't care! I don't have to wear that NOR will I wear my Pap-Smear!! Regardless what the doc says I'm not wearing it!!"

Nurse)"Um, sir, the machine is called a C-Pap, not Pap-Smear. A pap-smear is a women's annual exam.

Patient) "I'm not in the medical feild! And I'm not wearing it anyways!"

Funniest story to date. The patient was arrogant and ill mannered. Somedays it's just best not to come in. Nothing's better than getting yelled at by a person who has no clue what their talking about when all your trying to do is help them. This is why I am going to be a Sonographer and not a nurse.
