The Things Patients Say & Think....Oh My!

A patient was in alot of pain. They said this cannot be a kidney stone, it just can't be, it's impossible. I said why?

Because I've had 2 kidney stones before and both of them occured in the month of November and this is February, don't you understand? Oh my.

I said umm no...the truth is that a kidney stone doesn't not know or doesn't not care what month it is, what time it is, or anything else, when it's ready to move...it moves. Yes, this patient did have a kidney stone. :rolleyes:

Specializes in Med-Surg.
"My [newborn] baby is crying." Ummmm, yes......

Mind you, these were not first-time parents, not by a long shot.

Finally, a solid reason why I can tell my mother I do not any time in the near future want children...

Newborns babies cry! :crying2:
