This made me chuckle..

So tonight the other nurse was going through the lab calendar and transferring upcoming lab orders into the new calendar and she asks me "What's a FSH" since that's not one I usually draw for I had to stop and think for a moment.. It dawned on me what is was a Follicle Stimulating Horomone.. Then the other nurse asks "so do I want to know what a LH is?" A Lutienizing hormone!! She then asks "why is a 90+ yr old lady ordered to have a FSH/LH panel drawn yearly?!" Turns out she's not, she's ordered to have a Fasting lipid panel drawn yearly but the unit clerk transcribed the order incorrectly! The RNs who checked the order, and wrote it in on the calendar never questioned it! Glad we caught it now instead of after it was drawn in Sept and sent to the lab because that would have been embarrassing!! Anyways I thought it was funny!

    "Well, the good news, ma'am, is that, although you don't have any FSH, you don't have any follicles to stimulate anyway!"

    I love it when they order pregnancy tests before imaging w/contrast on an 85 yo woman; order set

    And I think the funniest part was the RN who wrote the labs in just had twins two months ago and had gone through fertility treatments to get pregnant so she should be familiar with FSH/LH labs! She wrote the labs on the old calendar about three weeks before she had her babies so I'm chaulking it up to her very pregnant brain being elsewhere!
