Some ER's have patients who walk in to triage fill out a triage slip with name and chief complaint. they are always interesting due to misspellings and funny things that people write. care to share some funny ones with us?
ill go first, one girl wrote as her symptoms...."east infection"

This isn't a matter of if you can think of a funny sign in sheet; It's which ones can you retell and not get in trouble.
I think my favorites are:
"I have a cat in my *****" Bad hand writting, she meant "cut."
"My dick hertz. Just axe my girl fren."
First, this is a pain, not a rental care agency.
Second, I won't axe anyone. I'm pretty sure they would take my license away for such a thing.
Does any body know what I need to do to keep my STNA current? Im not working in a Nursing home any more, I work at a dentist office but am going to Nursing school and it's almost been a year since I did hands on care. I know this i posted in the wrong section but its my fist time on here, and I never use the internet. I have asked so many people this question and no body knows. I just dont want to have to take those classes again.
I think this thread is great, I was laughing so hard I was crying... I don't think any of the people posting here meant any harm, it's just a place to laugh about the day to day stuff, that probably would drive you nuts if you couldn't get it out in a safe place..
I totally agree. Sometimes you have to laugh about such things. If you can't do that with others in the same field of work, who will understand what you face each day, then who can you share it with. There is no disrespect intended, but go home at night and "warsh" your hands, thinking about all of the difficult cases you have dealt with all day. sometimes laughing is the only way to keep your sanity. I personally laugh at myself when I have to stop and think how to spell correctly after having to copy what the pt's have written all day. You have to look at the sign in sheet pretty carefully to misspell the words the way the pt has. Then when I try to spell something correctly, like diarrhea, I have to think about it. So I make fun of myself too.
it just bothers me that sometimes not just patients screw up triage papers... but RN's and PA's???
what's wrong in the world these days???
here's the PA triaged...
"56y/o female with c/o ***** boils" , (he meant abcess with a lot of pus)
the RN
"gold bladder pain" i suppose it's a gall bladder pain
