Patient comes into the ER with this chief complaint: " I saw flying saucer land in the desert and I have been abducted. I think they put in an alien probe inside my body and I want it taken out! Do you think my insurance will cover it?" The ER doctor answers; " I don't know about the insurance but I can tell you this. You need to go to (mentions name of a nearby hospital) because they have a special machine there that will take out that probe. We don't have that kind of machine here!"

Dispatched to local nursing home for 'pt needing to go to the ER'. UoA facility's nurse says pt going to ER, the only level I trauma center in the area, for an IV. Just to start the line-no drugs pushed, not even saline, no other problems. Just an IV placement.

We went to a call at 2am for a 21 year old female with hemerrhoids and she "can't walk". I ask the patient what she's be treating her hemerrhoids with...she responds "Tiger Balm" (if you are unfamiliar with it...it's somewhat caustic and NOT designed for hemerrhoids). My partner and I both cringe. She walks. The triage nurse had the same response....followed by "Oh my god...WHY!!??"

Patient brought to the Emergency Department (ED) with a minor gunshot wound. When asked how he got shot, PT stated his bullets got wet, so he was drying them on the stove top.
