Fomite is my new favorite word because it sounds like a sandwich spread.

While doing wound care on an inmate who was bitten by a police dog....

Me: Man them dogs are fast ain't they?

Him: (arrgghh) yeah!!

I'm sorry you are in 4 point leather restraints sir, but I am not going to scratch your balls for you.

You must be confused sir, this is the Boston City Hospital not Roxy's *****house.

I'm sorry, I don't like needles either ....

I VERY frequently hear patients say "I hate needles" or "I don't like needles" when they know the very reason they are in front of me is so that I can insert a needle.

At this point, my response to "I don't like needles" is "Really? That's surprising....most people I see ask if I can do it two or three times, they just love needles so much" :geek:

And ever notice how many people with obvious tattoos will say "I really don't like needles"....as if those tattoos were created by a magical overnight cream?

as far as someone "not liking needles". I say, "Neither do I, and it is truly better to give than receive!"

Sir, I understand that you need to poop, however we are trying to determine if you've had a stroke so can we just get to CT already?

(this after 30 minutes on and off the bedpan with minimal results)

Oh My Gawd...the thought that popped into my mind reading this,"Would you like us to request a rectal tube so that we can do this CT done?" Not sure where that thought came from...

Wouldn't it be more satisfying to pop it like bubble wrap?
Uh, no.
