"OK, sir, so you're telling me that you have chest pain 10 on a 1-10 that is never relieved by nitro, and in addition to morphine, you'd also like to refuse your oxygen because it'd prevent you from eating the lunchbox and coke you want me to bring you?" :banghead:

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?

I asked someone with full sleeve tattoos on both arms, with full color and shading, who his henna artist was when pt said he hates needles.

FYI: the pt is probably not used to being sober while having anything done that involves needles.

This happens to me in the ED all the time, but its never some simple, common language, its always some random, small-village dialect that isn't an option on the blue translator phone LOL. I had one pt that was chinese, and the translator literally tried every Chinese language they could think of, then even tried Japanese and Korean before saying "I'm sorry, I have no idea what language she's speaking!" Lol
