I was walking through the hallway today and a family member of one of our patient's was talking on their cellphone-- apparently giving an update to someone about the patient. This is what I hear: "Well, no, he's not very awake today. I think they seduced him while they did a procedure."
If I had milk in my mouth at the time, it would have come out my nose!
We do a lot of things in the ICU, but seducing is not one of them!
OK, now it's your turn! What crazy things have you heard?
So I was talking to some one about back pain and inflammation. I told them ..if it gets bad enough you might ask your doctor about a Cortisone shot...she replied "no no, I am pretty sure I need a steroid shot" LOL. And I was talking to the same person about heart attacks and she said well "if you have pain in your right arm..you know you are having a heart attack." Oh dear...she is always trying to dispense medical advice....Oh how I hate to correct people sometimes, but gosh this really gets on my nerves. ?
