only in the er...had to share this

So I'm at work the other day, and I go in the room to assess my patient, which was a pretty routine pregnancy hyperemesis patient. Then, I go to wash my hands at the sink, and notice a little cup with a plastic bag sticking out of it. Wondering what it is, I pick it up and pull the bag out, only to discover that inside of it is a finger! :no: Apparently there had been someone with an amputation in there several (yes, several) hours earlier, and the finger was left behind when the patient was admitted. Needless to say, I quickly excused myself from the room and got it out of there.

I guess you never know what you're going to come across in the ER...just had to share!

Oh no!! I'm hoping they weren't going to try and re-attach it!

Glad the patient didn't find it! That wouldn't have done much for her nausea and vomiting.

Lol, luckily, from what I heard, they wouldn't have been able to re-attach the finger anyway.

Wow! That's something you'd never expect to find lying around.

This is why I love the ER - everyday a new challenge, never a routine day, always something new to learn.

:rotfl:

The best laugh I've had all day...

Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
