Has a pt given you a chuckle lately?

Just wondering what comments patients have said to you recently that made you laugh. You know that saying about kids say the darndest things? Sometimes it's not just the kids.

I had an elderly man I was caring for last week. Unbeknown to me, he was quite the jokster. After the initial assessment I was getting ready to leave the room and I had asked him if I could get him anything. He thought for a moment and said rather seriously, "yes, there is something you could bring me." When I asked him what I could do for him. He asked me if I could bring him "a fourth of a Viagra pill". When I questioned the reason to this response he said "well,....I'd just like to be able to pee and not miss the toilet bowl for a change." Then he gave me a sheepish grin and cracked up laughing. That man made my shift! :chuckle
