ok so we had this patient, and the general concensus is, they are a little whacked out! along with the family i might add!
well we were awaiting a call back from the patients pmd (primary medical doctor). when out er doc picked up the phone, i knew he was going to start out by telling the pmd about his crazy (i.e. in this case hypochondriac/munchowsers patient), and why they were here.
he started out by saying, "you know i'm calling because of this.....(and i knew nut was coming next!)
when i realized the overhead paging system was messed up, and i could here his phone conversation overhead!
i ran over and dragged my hand across my throat, as in stop! cut it out! he stopped and looked at me confused.
i whispered into his ear, the whole thing is being heard over head! he told the pmd to hold on, and put him on hold!
we then tried a few different lines, and used the overhead a few times, until it started to work normal again!
well he said, "as i was saying this nutty patient of yours, that is a head case....really has nothing wrong with her that i can find."
along with the family i might add!
