Just curious as to the most off-the-wall outfit anyone's ever seen in the clinic or hospital.
I had thought that the gentleman who pulled up at our clinic on a tractor (after about a 40 mile trip), wearing an Elmer Fudd hat (in 20 degree weather) and then handed our medical assistant his pistol for safekeeping while he saw Doc was a hoot. He was, but there were bigger hoots to come.
The latest was the lady whom we dismissed for violation of our drug contract. She came in, wanting to be seen, and when we told her we would not be able to (we don't take patients back who violate contract) she attempted to put her BF on the waiting list (we also don't treat family of dismissed patients, due to the potential for sharing of pills). Failing that, she left.
Our referral gal came in the clinic proper and got me a couple hours later..."Sssst, Angel, c'mere. You gotta see this."
That same lady was back, in a beauty-shop cape, a towel pinned at her neck with a claw clip, and sporting a head full of bleach. She had come to tell us that "she had been in touch with the board, and they would be in touch with us". Never have gotten that call.
And then there was the visitor in the hospital that walked the halls in nothing but a Spandex catsuit. And no, she didn't need to be wearing it. Spandex is kinda like a Speedo to me, they both need to be outlawed.
When I was doing my internship in nursing school, on an L&D unit, we had a "lady" come in, wanting her stitches out, wearing a shirt that said, "I have the pu**y, so I wear the pants." (and the word pu**y was stretched out realllllly big over her very large breasts) We had a very hard time getting past the shirt in order to figure out why she came to us, instead of going to the clinic, like the rest of the people do.
On TV.... guy along the beach in San Diego....wears nothing but a thongy speedo, and a flag on a stick stuck in his crack....and roller skates.. He does keep the flag off of the ground. i'm torn between mortified and amused.

I'd appreciate you not talking about me on this forum. Don't hate, I make my American Pride look good!
I went to help a new admission undress and each time I took off her bra there was another one layered underneath the previous. She was wearing a total of nine bras. Nope... can't make this stuff up.
Specializes in Psychiatry, corrections, long-term care..
As we have a generally conservative patient population, the kind of fancy dress you describe is not seen in our usual run of admissions. Now, if you were to ask me about theater scrubs..... I will never, ever forget an absolute HUNK of a doctor, who had, presumably to deliberately titillate his numerous admirers, donned a scrub top that was ripped down the side, from armpit to waist. We all took turns walking past him to admire the view....
