Specializes in ER, Occupational Health, Cardiology.

When I was triaging for ER, I had a woman who thought I was nuts because when I was obtaining her med hx for hospitalization she told me she had flea bites and I asked why she was hospitalized for that-did they get infected? Noooooo-you know, flea bites, like you get in yore laig, and it gets swole up?:rolleyes: Oh!:idea: That would be phlebitis!

Another pt was telling me about the surgery she had for carpet tunnel. Since we live in a part of the country where carpet is made, I did pause briefly to consider the options before asking her if it might have been "carpal tunnel" surgery that she had? Why yes, that was exactly what she had!:jester:

1. I asked an elderly lady in incontinence briefs "Mrs. X are you dry?" She responds "Well honey, I am a little ashy".

2. A patient's family member called the unit asking if "daddy was still deceased". This was a grown woman, and the nurse was speechless for several moments before she responded "I'll have the charge nurse talk to you".

i had a patient who was npo for gallbladder surgery, hence didn't get any of her psych meds. about three days post op she was getting a little looney so we gave her some haldol. she was in front of the nurses station so we could watch her and she continously sang a song "its the haldol, its the haldol, its the haldol making me crazy!!!" over and over. it was kind of funny at the time. :)

Here's one that just happened today....

Over the hospital-wide intercom, the operator requested for an "Anger (insert a very common last name)" to please call (whatever). This is about the third time over the past month that I've heard this overhead and I just laugh every time...who the hell would name their kid "Anger"...I'm definitely hearing correctly!

I've also heard the operator requesting the Adams Family overhead to go to the lobby as well as Mr. Wright (that one twice now).

This is too sad to be funny. I hope she doesn't hurt anyone. Apparently the NCLEX isn't hard enough.

A friend told me this one. An EMT arrived at the scene of a DUI accident to find a car parked inside the showroom of a furniture store. The driver was banged up but unhurt, when asked why he was driving in such an intoxicated state the driver replied "I was way to drunk to walk"! Scary but true.
