A 13-year-old patient taught me that it's an extraordinarily bad idea to play around on the roof of a two-story house when it's wet and there's a spade with a wooden handle sticking straight up out of the ground. It's also poor planning to fall directly onto it and have it drive itself almost 11 inches into your groin, barely missing several vital organs and requiring months of BID iodoform packings.

It's a bad idea to snort coke when you have WPW. This guy got a 14g IV.

"Wolf-Parkinson-White"--a cause of supraventricular tachycardia. Bad idea to use drugs that predispose you to tachydysrhythmias when you're already prone to them--

As one of my coworkers would say: "Modern Darwinism at work" (re the drug use, not the poor souls with WPW!).

Never ever reach down a hole it the ground to see what it in it. You might just find out.

"Hey y'all watch this" is ALWAYS followed by stitches in the ER.

Broomsticks make painful dildo substitutes.

Do not use the gas cooking stove to light your cigarette after working on a leaking fuel tank on your car.


And "stupid" should be a legitimate medical diagnosis.

I cannot believe i forgot this one!!!

People in the ER waiting area really don't want to know about your raging yeast infections, and how you get them "quite often".

Pts' families teach us things to not do as well-

Do not bring your 90-yr-old toothless, demented mother tacos, potato chips and a Snickers bar for lunch, then loudly DEMAND a swallow eval when she then has a choking episode.
