[er nursing]

Hey all new to the board, thought we could share some strang encounters in triage......

...as the 24yr male entered triage I asked what's wrong today? He replies my "ovories" hurt...... there is a time for pt education and there is a time when it's not....this is clearly one of those time its not.....

Whats yours?

Husband and wife come in. Wife (the pt) sits in the triage chair:

RN: What's going on with you today.

Wife won't look at nurse and purses lips.

Husband: Well, I'll tell you. She just don't taste right down there no more!

(please pronounce more to rhyme with no)

Not a complaint, but tonight I asked a lady to remove her jacket so I could do her blood pressure ... its cold here and she had on a big puffy jacket.

So she did ....

But she was naked underneath it ....

So why in Gods name would you not mention that?? She just pulled off her coat, sat there completely naked and offered me her arm.

Triage is open to the waiting room. It was strange.

Cute, but it's a verbatim cut and paste of a chain email/Snopes.com

http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/le-a.asp

regarding the Le-a name.

my best friend a teacher in Louisiana has a Le-a in her class.

and if you look on the strange name blog Le-a sightings are posted.

RN: So what brought you into the ER today?

PT: My member burns like the dickens.

RN: Okay...Do you have discharge? Does it hurt when you urinate?

PT: Oh no, no, no. i found out this morning that my girlfriend has crabs...

RN: So you think you have crabs?

PT: Well, no, not anymore anyways. I got rid of them.

RN: How did you get rid of them? Did you get a prescription?

PT: Nope. "I shaved my goods and then sprayed a half a can of Raid on them. I'm pretty sure the crabs are dead, but it burns like he**".
