My handoff to the oncoming rn was "300 pounds, off meds, homicidal intent". The was more of course but that summed it up. Let's hear 'em.

"Well there's having mental health issues that you're working on, there's crazy and then there's bat-freaking-shite crazy. He's the third."
Wait just a minute. I put "holy Shi'ite" one day, and that got bleeped. "Shite" is okay? lmao Perhaps this thread is still under the radar.

I was on the receiving end of: "600 lbs, immobile, constipated, loaded with Colyte just before transfer". It was every single bit as horrible as you can imagine...

"All your rooms are empty. You should probably go get some KY."
"So and so is back, and still needs his leg chopped off."
I'm sure there are more, but those are the recent ones that I remember.

Came in with a toothache, we're treating for sepsis.
Crazy when it's like that, isn't it?! Had a guy whose admission reason was like, belly ache, or some random body part, ended up with TPA for a stroke, amputation for loss of blood flow to the leg, sepsis (which he had before he got there) and DKA because he didn't realize diabetes was something you treat outpatient when you're diagnosed with it.
Ummmm you may want to get those things checked out when they show up.
