funny office visit

My funniest visit was "my heart hurts" while holding her right hip!!! She was A&O x 3 and in no obvious distress.

Well, I've had a few funny ones. Probably my favorite was "I have a headache" followed by "I have a stomache ache". When those didn't work, child was suddenly unable to walk...Hmmmm....that cleared up quickly when I told him I would walk him back to class. Oh, and I had one kid today who had a nosebleed. From what? Hitting a high note on the piano

Yesterday I had a 4th grader with the worse pain of his life everywhere from his neck down. Walking, talking and no tears. He must really like me because he comes to see me a lot.

I had one earlier this week who found an unused staple on the ground, opened it up and got it stuck in between his two bottom teeth! He was PK, and the teacher's assistant rushed him into my office in a near panic (I guess thought he would swallow it or choke?) I put on my gloves, gently manuvered it out and had him rinse his mouth x 5 min. No idea what made him think to do that! Have to admit when I saw the TA's face as she was rushing him in, I was a little concerned!

End of the day yesterday, I had a 2nd grader tell me that his "weiner was clogged" and now he is going to the bathroom ALOT. I told him that I would let his mom know and sent him back to class. :)

Oh, man, you gotta love the stuff kids come up with. I had an 11yo come to the clinic one day with a bad cold, stuffed up, felt bad. He insisted that he needed "some Viagra or something":clown: And yes, he said it with a straight face, haha (what he meant was Vicks cough drops:lol2:)

Frequent flier yesterday said she had a nose bleed during science because of the molecules in Science class.

We need to keep these coming...I am sure I could almost come up with one per day!

Today a PK kiddo came in and said "I'm sick". He is one of those that still has a very child-like voice and can be hard to understand at times. I asked him where he felt bad, and he said what I thought was "I pooped" or "I puked", but I was not sure. So I asked "you pooped?" He looked exasperated and said "Nooooo, you know....bwaaaaaaaa" and performed an oscar-worthy pantomine of vomiting. I could not help but giggle at that one!

It is not just the little kids. Last week I had a junior in my high school complain of her hands being blue and tingly. I was not in that building until the afternoon so I contacted her mom ( who works in the elementary school) and told her to check in on her daughter. The student felt fine except for her hands. The high school called me again later and said her hands were worse so I go to the high school as soon as I can. Her vital signs were normal. Cap refill in fingers were normal but the hands were blue and very cold to the touch. I decided to put her hands in warm water to see if the tingling would stop if they were warmer. After a couple of minutes, I checked the temperature and notice that the blue is dripping off. Can you guess?? New dark wash blue jeans! I sent her back to class and tried not to laugh in front of her. :lol2:

Oh, I have a blue dye story too! Teacher rushed an asthmatic kid into my office in a panic. "His lips are turning blue!" I took one look at him, calmly pulled out a baby wipe and wiped his face off. Told the teacher "looks like someone has been chewing on his blue marker. Teacher got a good laugh out of it once she regained her composure!
