(Pt telling nursing staff on a number of occasions), "Honey, could you get me some more water to drink? I have to drink more water because my heart stopped making blood."
There are so many, I have started a book, with some of my closest friends( Nurses and nurse practitioners)
I will choose two.
Recently during a pre-assessment phone call I asked a patient about previous surgeries.
She said she had a Bladder extension!!
When working in the office with my now best friend we had a patient who said she had a sister that was a schizmophremaniac.( that is the best one by far)
I was bringing a patient out of surgery and said " don't let it alarm you, some drainage is on the floor" the patient (freaked out), responded and said "What?! Part of My lady parts is on the floor ?!"

A rare breed, but I know I had at least one of 'em.
