Funny Sign In Slips

[TraumaInTheSlot]

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"

rectal humor is always funny.

another classic was a man in his 70's said he was at work and developed diarrhea. so not wanting to leave work decided to stick a lightbulb (big end first) into his bum so that he could finish his shift. after the xray he decided to sign out AMA. we all thought he'd be back within hours "but" he never did.

I would love to hear that person tell how he accomplished that!

"I have a Fur Uncle." When he got back to a bed, he asked me if I knew what a fur uncle was...His doc had told him he needed to get his fur uncle removed. I had to leave the room before I laughed.

I had a "lady" call in one night, and said she was bending over and her dog jumped on her, and had sex with her. She was worried that she could become pregnant from the dog. It was all I could do to not tell her she should follow up with her vet in the morning.

That's all it seems my job is these days - trying to help these people understand proper English. But when you live in a backwoods rural area like I do, it's like pushing a semi up a mountain - darn near impossible.

Not to mention that at least 50% of the people I see are highly educated, and know better, they just choose to use their "homeland dialect." I laugh at my fair share of mistakes - but never in a malicious way. I laugh at my own mistakes, as well as the mistakes of my co-workers... we all laugh together. Somehow it makes a shift from hades go so much better. Face it. Funny spelling errors and certain dialects sound funny sometimes. Is there something wrong with laughter? I mean, isn't laughter the best MEDICINE????

It's proven - you get many more facial wrinkles and lines from frowning on others than you do sharing a laugh. So laugh it up, or you'll die of stress looking a hundred years older than you really are.
