What's the funniest thing your patient has been scared of before?

One of my patients had been through a big MVA. Came out of it with two badly broken legs and multiple scratches, bruises, and abrasions all around his body. He had surgery to get his legs repaired and came out of it with a foley. In the morning, doctors gave an order to get the foley removed. However the patient became more afraid of the foley removal than his hurt legs. You really should have seen his reaction. It was like someone wanted to insert an 18 gauge IV in him . It was just so funny. Big guy like him...been through a big accident and cut up in ways that make me cringe, yet he became wimpy over the thought of a simple foley removal. Both his mother and I kept telling him the foley removal was easy. I even told him if he's really bothered by it, he could squeeze his mother's hand. When I got ready to remove the foley, he squeezed his eye shut and kind of clenched his teeth in anticipation only to find out it was over in a second . Just had to share it with you.

So, have any of you had stories of wierd things your patients have been afraid of?
