Moderator True Anomaly Posted August 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2012 On shift tonight, pt came in c/o dysuria off and on x several months, and I decided to do a pelvic exam. She says, "Oh, I've been to the GYN doctor much more than the regular doctor, so when I get pelvic exams I just sit back and read". So she pulled her book out while getting into position. I do the exam without any issues. After I go back to my station to chart it, the nurse who was in the room with me asked if I noticed the book she was reading. "No," I replied. "What was it?" Nurse: "50 Shades Of Gray". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstudentCanada Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 lol. That's funny. On shift tonight, pt came in c/o dysuria off and on x several months, and I decided to do a pelvic exam.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted August 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2012 Did you at least get her to buy you dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaltide Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sounds about right. I work at an OB/GYN clinic and of everyone I've ever seen bring a book in while waiting for their annual appointment, 98% of them brought 50 Shades of Grey.

Just Steve Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 So if I understand this correctly, this woman comes to the ER for painful urination that has been intermittent for several months.... I'm no expert, but a pelvic doesn't take long enough to read a couple of pages, does it? So what sort of attention seeking behavior/DSM IV code would you give her? Did she have any sx found on direct exam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Did she moan? One pt in our ER did... Also another one grabbed the junk of one of EMT's. Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAdamsPAC Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 the question begging to be asked..... what is the antibacterial property of peanut butter? (sorry) I'm on call up here in AK and a guy calls telling me his burned hand still hurts after an Aleve and his covering it in peanut butter wanting to know what else to do. This call is after I had spoken with his girl friend hoiurs earlier and told her not to apply any ointments or salves to the burn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackjacks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My grandma and mom both bought the boxed set of all the 50 shades books :=-0: I'll stick with Hemingway and LotR. On a related note, there has to be a thread on here about the weirdest things pts have done, right? I told a pt, "we need a urine sample, can you go to the bathroom in here?" and handed them a urine cup, they came back with a small stool in it and said "tried really hard, that's all I could get" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for any doctor who's named Christian Grey. I also hear these are pretty poorly written books. Lot of hype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerlily Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I feel sorry for any doctor who's named Christian Grey. I also hear these are pretty poorly written books. Lot of hype? I heard from 2 different sources that the hype is mostly over the explicit content of the book. They also mentioned that the way it was written was simplistic, maybe 8th grade level reading.
