18yr old pt came in w/ father. Dx: fx requiring ORIF. He consented to surgery and was taken up to the OR quite quickly. About 30 min later we hear a racket in the ER, screaming, crying, yelling, banging the walls. Turns out it's the patients mother, not agreeing to her son being operated on, even though he is of legal age and quite able to decide for himself. When we're not immediately trying to stop the surgeon from fixing her child, she falls to the floor and continues her loud objections.

Three pts were brought in: one w/ meleana, taking a dump (Oh, the odours!), another one just two beds down the line, w/ diarrhea plopping mighty plops of doom, and in between I had to see my pt: married straight guy who contracted HIV and had no idea how ('probably a toilet seat', as if that would fool any healthcare pro). That day I cursed curtains, why no actual walls? (much has changed since)

This is actually quite sad. A while ago we had a pt brought in after being resuscitated after cardiac arrest. His heart was now doing kind of ok, but he was still unresponsive. The ironic thing is that it turned out he was the driver of a hearse and he'd had an arrest at a funeral. Don't think he made it out the hospital alive.

Chief complaint: "I am a nursing assistant. I took a bath in Pine Sol a few days ago to get the germs off, and I've been having vaginal irritation ever since."

"I need to go to the ER" says the pt "-OK whats the problem?' I ask "I cant get my ring off my finger" she replies "-Oh well i can take care of that...let me get my ring cutter out of my bag." I offer "I want the doctor to make sure i didn't loose circulation in my finger." she said ..."-?????" I look at her blankly "I haven't been able to take it off for 3 days" Long story short i took her to the ER

A lady came in with complaint that a tampon had been stuck in her vagina since last month's menses. She has since started her period this month and has been using tampons without issue, but has noticed BLACK discharge and foul smell. She wants the old tampon removed. She came in for same complaint three days before today, and LWT because the wait was too long!

2 am, dispatched by 911 to possible code blue. Upon arrival, find two very inebriated frequent flyers duking it out. PD is separating them. Turns out that pt passed out, his buddy was too drunk to tell the difference, so he assumes his friend is in full arrest, calls 911 and starts CPR. Passed out guy comes around while his buddy is lip locked onto his face and that's when the swinging commenced. PD explains the situation to both parties and when we left, they were hugging each other.

pt called 91 to report chest pain. amb arrived to find pt on curb w/LARGE suitcase. pt gets in amb, and ask emt's could they take her to the bus station. (2 blocks from hospital) they replied that they could not, since she had called complaining of chest pain. She got to the ER, got an EKG ( which was normal) and then asked for a cab voucher to...the bus station.

Man checks in after getting drunk, climbing on top of his RV and promptly falling off, landing directly on his skull. A skull fracture and epidural brain bleed later, he earns himself an OR visit.
