I wanted to do something special for my 13th entry but I lack the time. I'll share with you a couple of things from my past few shifts at local trauma center/ER:
- Mid 20's Male patient was found on side walk in semi-conscious state wearing cowboy chaps (yes fringes and all) with no undergarment, naked from the waist up and no cowboy hat. Tells ambulance crew he is looking for a plumber. Pt is brought to hospital and when Doc asks pt his drug of choice the pt responds "Cum!"
"Hi yo silver, Away!"
- Female early 20's patient brought in. Schizophrenic and off her meds with history of drug abuse (pretty much you name it she takes it when she is off her psych meds) Pt has serious delusions of grandeur and feels as though she is caught up in some sort of universal conspiracy involving an an ancient evil. Which naturally EVERYONE except her is a part of she is just trying to bring all us "evil mother fuckers down". She is highly articulate and even convinces the Doc to discharge her. Shortly after doc leaves she goes into a manic phase where she yells "Shut up!" for nearly 30 minutes straight. Staff pleads with attending to admit patient. Attending comes back to talk with patient. Doc tells pt he just wanted to check on her one more time to which she responds "Your army of cockroaches will never capture me, I am the queen of the universe!" At which point she throws her blanket at the Doc.
Pt is admitted to the psych unit.
