Re: What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...
I was reading an order back to a physician over the telephone, and I got tongue tied, I read it to him as "125ml/hr of
Ractated Lingers"
When my son was in first grade, they had a health lesson on what to do if someone was choking. One night at dinner, my daughter was coughing, my son yelled "Quick Mom, do the heinie remover!" I laughed so hard, I nearly choked. Well, damned if that did come to bite me in my arse a few years later. I had a patient choking, and I rectified it with the Heimlich Maneuver. I had to report the episode to the physician, and as I was telling him the story, yep, I said it, "I did the heinie remover on the patient with good results"
I will never make that mistake again!
