A good test confusion I have patients say a lot is I've got to get my pneumonia level checked, referring to an 'ammonia' test. Although the purple top on ice is probably cold enough to catch pneumonia. lol Thanks, these are gr8. keep em coming.

:chuckle What are some of the more unusual, amusing, scandalous, and funny symptoms/diagnosis you have come across? Include any strange, comical, odd, outlandish, bizarre, humorous, weird, phonetically written, miswritten, misspelled, misunderstood symptoms and diagnosis or any that you just plain like. Any websites or books on the subject that you know of and could post would be appreciated as well. One funny one I came across was ‘Pain in the A**’, the ER clerk was either sick of dealing with patients or didn’t like dealing with this particular patient. I suppose ‘L buttock Pain’ wouldn’t have been as fun. :roll A classic one I enjoy is ‘Can’t Read’. I don’t know why, but I always think this is a funny comment to put in. I suppose ‘illegible’ is too difficult to spell and again isn’t as fun. :smackingf Here’s a weird one I came across, ‘Knocked out by Pan’. Not sure if that meant he was hit by his wife with a frying pan or he was boxing with the mythical little pipe playing half man half goat, Pan. Either way I love coming across the symptoms that make me do a double take. :lol_hitti Post as many as you wish and as often as you wish, I will include more as I come across them. Enjoy.
