a patient said "i'm going to die tonight." And he actually died that night! That's strange to me...

But HE was the one in the hospital? Did she open up a big ol' can of "whoopaxx" on him in response? NOT that I condone either one - but self defense has something to recommend it......

Earlier this year, I thought I found a lump so while getting it checked out by my primary, she told me "You're too young to get cancer".

HUH??!!??!!?? :

I'm 33!!

I've worked enough shifts on the oncology unit, and lost friends/coworkers to cancer at young ages to know that statement was full of #$%.

I must have given her a crazy look because she immediately got quiet.

To quote Beavis and Butthead, "What a dork!" This last week I was assigned to two early-40-somethings with AMI's. Sounds like the cardiologist has a serious case of cranial-anal inversion! (Actually, take that back, one was even younger)

I had a patient in dts who was yelling out gems all nite. The best came, however, when we were sitting around quietly charting and he yelled, "Somebody!!!! Get me a knife!! I need a knife......I'll explain later!!!!" riiiiigghhhhht a knife, great idea. He also told security, "These Registered Nurses broke a pencil off in my d--k!" Best of all was when I went in his room to find him covered in brown stuff (and I don't mean chocolate) He said, "I tried to get that guy to help me wipe my a$$ but he wouldn't so I did it myself", as he held up his now brown mitten. Priceless....
