I was on urology and they sent us a basic trainee who had hurt himself. It seems he woke for PT and they were being hustled to formation and his erection wouldn't go away so her forcefully folded it in half and went and did PT. When they were done with PT he realized he was hurt and went to the ER and then to us. His nickname? PBD... Private Broke Dick. Personally I hope he had a long career in the Rangers or SEALs or something because that was a feat of will most people couldn't even imagine. Folded, huh? I think I read about him...

Wish1pa Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I had a 30yo guy yesterday in the UC that said it feels like his organs are going to fall out of his back. Had low back pain and felt like when he lays down his organs are pushing outward and will fall out. When I examined him he asked if I could see them sticking out. Not sure if he was drug seeking but he sometimes takes Percocet for prior "back problems", he's allergic to NSAIDS and said hes been "putting things into his body lately he shouldn't be.."

Reality Check 2 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Best Parkland ER chief complaint EVER - Well, I was standing there - not doing nothing - and these two dudes........ There were almost always two dudes and we copped the phrase "innocent standing by" as the main job of our patient. Now, what they were doing in the worst part of Dallas at 3 am "just standing by" is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surgblumm Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I've had multiple experiences with some of my female patients who were placed on antibiotics postoperatively. To be somewhat holistic I would tell them to take cultured yogurt with their antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection. A few days later when seeing them at the office for a wound check, they complained that the yogurt that they were placing in their vaginas was very messy.

Guest ral Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 From the "You can't make this stuff up" pages of my ER days: Had a father run into our small rural hospital many years ago, screaming for help, while carrying his toddler. He basically throws the kid at me and says, "The last time his fever got this high, he had spinal laryngitis!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
