A completely random assortment of weird/amusing things I noticed today:
- Patient’s Chief Complaint: “I want to know if I’m a virgin”.
- Record ED volume Monday, nearly vacant on Wednesday.
- Ford F-350 “King Ranch Edition” as a Domino’s pizza delivery vehicle.
- My Prius’ paint on one door has horrible overspray (found while waxing).
- The MythBusters have the best job on earth.
- Patient CC: “Bald spot on back of head”; redundantly foreheaded nurse muses “I’d be a major case, then”.
My seven in a row ends after tomorrow. Perhaps my muse will return during the break.
i’ve had the “am i a virgin” CC before but it was a mom bringing in her very embarassed daughter. how the fuck am i supposed to know? most women have lost the hymenal architecture during childhood from inoccent activities so what can you do? also, i love the “i want you to check my child for drugs” CC. i’ll get right on it.
I assumed you were kidding about CC #1 until I read 911doc’s comment. Good grief.
“Reduntantly-foreheaded nurse”… hrm… first time I’ve heard it called that before!
Mythbusters — absolutely the ideal job for overgrown boys!
Mythbusters is the best job on Earth, alhtough pizza delivery in an F-350 would be pretty fantastic, too. In fact, I think F-350 pizza driving might be 2nd in manliness to only the Dirty Jobs guy.

In regards to #1, I suppose you could have pointed out that there’s only one intervention you could have provided that would end with a definitive answer.
Zamboni driver at professional hockey games – best.job.ever.
why can’t we just average out our ER volume? I’m tired of getting killed one day and then thumb twiddling another.
It has always been feast or famine. I have worked in 10 different hospitals in 3 different states, same story third verse.
Reduntantly foreheaded nurse…hmmm…Don’t think of it as losing hair, think of it as gaining face.
My recent favorite cc, “I can’t keep alcohol down.”
I love the virgin question…”Doctor, could you tell me whether my arm is still attached please, I fear it may have fallen off earlier?”
Hehehe…the bf and I ABSOLUTELY love Mythbusters and want their jobs as well. :-P
