One patient came in ALS and two others BLS where they were either tachycardic and hallucinating, or just plain sedated. The report from the paramedics was they all ate brownies an hour ago and began vomiting uncontrollably with syncopal episodes. The lady who was ALS has a history of cancer and saw a "naturalist" who gave her the brownies to help her with treatment. All of them had a urine tox with cannabis in it :)

Today a woman came into the ER complaining her "coochie cat was snotting". I couldn't help but chuckle

My partner & I were dispatched to a suspected cardiac arrest. On arrival we were met by a couple who said they had had seen a lady sitting on her front porch in the same position two days in a row and she was still there. When we approached her, my partner tried to call out to her and got no response. He felt her neck for a pulse and turned to me and said feel her hand. When I did a finger broke off. It was plaster maniquin, but even close up it looked like a perfectly good obese woman.

Young female presents to ER this evening C/O abdominal pain N/V. Can't get out 2 full words without screaming and crying, but can say (with no difficulties) "they give me dilaudid for pain". WOW!!! Imagine that! You can get all that out with no problems, but you can't point to where your belly is hurting? Guess what she got??? Give up?...Toradol!

30-something y/o male, resident of a state hospital for the insane. a regular at the ED where i used to work. cames in because THIS TIME he swallowed a DOORKNOB. last time it was a door hinge and a bedspring.

about 7 years ago, I was night shift, a male in his 30's was drinking and climbed a flagpole on a dare, when he slid down the flagpole, he did not realize that there is a "hook" to wrap the rope around. It took 38 sutures to close his scrotum! He presented back a week later with wound infection!

17 y.o. female presents with boyfriend with c/o "abd. pain". doesn't take the pill "all the time" cause she "forgets" but it didn't matter cause HIS mom was hoping they were pregnant anyway.... As I did my assessment - beginning with LUNG sounds... boyfriend interrupts to ask "so did ya hear 2 heartbeats?"

40 some y/o male comes in to the ED with his mother "she made me come in" c/o coughing up blood--lungs clear and no coughing, CXR WNL--imagine that. He jumps off the cart, closes the door and says he does not want his mother to hear--"I have something down there and its tying me up"--only 40 to 50 genital warts.

Had a DOA last week. Lesson learned: Never throw an old TV set in a fire. The shrapnel can and will kill you.

Had a patient brought in by ambulance after picking muhrooms from is backyard, cooking them up with some rice & brought in after having an altered mentation. Claimed he died & was a buddha. Scary part was his girlfriend did not seem upset at this claim.
