Tell me about the calls that have pulled you away from helping other patients for a ridiculous or bizarre request/reason.
By far my most interesting was a patient who called demanding to see his nurse urgently, he was young, in his thirties and a walkie-talkie, so fearing the worse immediately dropped what I was doing to go see him. I get to his room only to find him kneeling on the couch staring out the window.
"You needed me?" I inquire perplexed.
"There's a bat outside my room".
I to this day do not know what he expected me to do about it. Out of curiosity I did go look and sure enough there was a mexican free tailed bat outside his window flying around. I identified it for him, to which he looked shocked, and left him gazing out the window. When I came back later it was all he wanted to talk about.
