Take off all of your clothes......
The doctor will be in a minute to check you out. (Yes, I really did say this to a female patient about a male doctor.)
I need you to take off your pants so I can look at your member.
When a patient has asked, do you remember me and you answer, I didn't recgonize you with your clothes on.
When was the last time you had sex?

It's not the things I say that would get me in trouble in the rest of the world, it's the things I do- Actions speak louder than words right?
I've been known to kiss "clients" and even to lie in bed with them! Love peds homecare!
Oh, and what about the little girl I was potty training who always refused to wear undies instead of a diaper until I tired and frustrated and did the same thing I've done with my nieces "Look! I'm wearing Big Girl Panties!" as I pull the waistband out of the top of my slacks. That just wouldn't fly in the corporate world. :roll

1.) I'm going to give you an oral (as in report).
2.) I have a discharge.

OMG, I did this last night at work!! Was sending a pt to the floor from ER and floor's fax machine wasn't working. The receiving nurse called to tell me she hadn't gotten report and I said, "OK, can I just give you oral?" Pt (young guy) in the hall bed across from me says, " You can give me oral." I had no response, just turned 5 shades of red.

"Just let your legs fall open and relax, your gonna feel a touch now."
Inserting a cath or assisting with a pelvic.

"Ok, you're free to go; well, not really." Said to a prisoner leaving the ER accompanied by a sheriff's deputy.Pam

It reminds me of a funny thing that happened the other day at work. I was assisting a pt. to the bathroom and her ENTIRE family was crammed into one of our pre-op rooms. As she got up she said
"What if I moon people when I get up?"
"Don't worry, I'll watch it."
The whole family burst out laughing including the pt. I MEANT I'll watch the gown to make sure it's closed. :doh:

To a pt on a bedpan, " Are you ready to get off yet?"

How about "Alcohol makes you feel better".
When I teach others to perform venipuncture I encourage them to use the alcohol to help thier finger glide over the skin.

How about "I need you to drop your pants"? I still howl on that after nearly 20 years.
