From the mouths of non-nurses

I was working w/ a tech. one day and she kept looking at the heart monitor screen w/ a frown on her face. finally she asked, "What is big eminy?"

I don't understand. what did she actually mean (in med terms)?

Just about all my male patients call a urinal "the jug;" and I call it making water.
Urinate sounds crude and lay people don't know what void is.
How do you ask your patients if they are having any difficulties voiding?

Depending on the education level:
PhD - Are you having an impediment with elimination, fecal or urinary?
Master's - Do you have any hindrance to your urination?
Bachelor's - Do you have any problems with going to the bathroom?
High school - Do ya have any problems p****ing?
Grade school - Do ya have any problems peeing?
Pre-school on down - Wee-wee?

Now please take this in the best way possible. I am in no way making fun of a steriotype or anybody's education level or lack thereof, just in the light hearted spirit of the humor forum.
