That's not what they look like to me...

I thought the same thing, Nanci.

Really now...just what were they thinking? Very strange indeed. There will be just a few jokes about them! (Just a few, I think!)

So.... the other day in the ER, I had an order for chest xrays on a 20 yo patient. She was complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. I go to get her and she wasn't there. The RN said she would be right back, she walked up the street to the store to get another pack of cigarettes.

Tonight, I had a patient complaining of abdominal pain. I took xrays and was wondering what I was seeing exactly. It ended up being a bottle of pills that she forgot she put "up there". (yes, there) They belonged to her BF. He made her mad about a month ago, so she hid his prescription pills on him and forgot about them. The weirdest part of the whole thing? I've actually had that happen before with another patient.

Neither had insurance or thought to go see a doctor for cheaper treatment.

Just in case you are ever wondering why the ER wait is so long or costs so much, now you know.
