A student that enjoys video games and has been loving Mochi very recently. Has no profession yet, but is bound by his chains of stupidity, and eats nothing but sugar-filled stuff that makes you have an unpleasant time. Loves any type of meat, especially beef, or pork. Will upload videos on YT if I have any spare time in my life. Thank you for reading,~KRML

Me: "do you have any chronic diseases like Diabetes or high blood pressure?" Patients: "no :)))))" Me: "but you do inject Insulin daily?' Patients: "yeah :)))" "What's that for then?" "oh, for my sugar, ya know"

Had a male come in with pancreatitis. Asking him some basic history.. "How much do you drink alcohol?" "I don't use alcohol." Ok, well not my first time so.. "Do you drink beer?" "Yeah well after sauna I have some beer." (we are in Finland where sauna and beer go very well and frequently together) "Ok, how many beers you have after sauna?" "A case" (24 cans/case) "And how many times per week you got to sauna?" "3 to 4 times per week" So he doesn't drink any alcohol, but 70-100 cans of beer per week.PagingDrLecter reply
As a patient, but this is too fresh not to share. I'm 32 and at work Friday morning (as in 2 days ago) I started having pain in my lower molars around 10:40am. It eventually got so bad I left work and went to urgent care (noon). I thought it was a gum infection and I'd get some antibiotics and ibuprofen and be told to see a dentist or something. I had to keep apologizing to the intake person because I was stumbling over my words, unfocused because of pain. When the urgent care Doc came in (1pm) she talked to me for about 30 seconds before peeping in my mouth and saying my gums were fine, then checking my eyes with a flashlight and calling an ambulance. By the time I got to the hospital (2ish?) I was basically nonverbal and my attempts at texting had become disjointed. My spouse met me in the ER after a CT scan and helped me consent to an IV clot buster (TPA) at about 3pm. I'd had a stroke. For those doing the timeline math at home, YIKES. Good news: the TPA worked very fast and I'm hopefully getting discharged tonight. I owe that urgent care doc a thank you note.

Had a patient come into the ER with some sort of spider/bug bite on her hand that had progressed to a red line running up her arm. She stated she put Benadryl cream on and it was very itchy. We continued talking and I asked if she had any allergies…”yes, Benadryl.” I thought good lord wtf and I’m sure it was reflected on my face. We washed the Benadryl cream off her arm and miraculously it stopped itching.

Had a male in his 50s WALKS into trauma to have his left thigh stitched up. Not an uncommon wound in an agricultural area. Speaking to him while stitching him up he tells me he fell off a ladder while cutting a branch and the machete sliced him on the way down. Told him I was going to write him up for an xray of the entire leg just in case. He kept on saying he was fine, his knee hurt a bit but logically that was from the fall, I agreed, but asked him to go to the xray department just in case. He reluctantly walk there and back. X-rays showed a helical fracture almost the entire length of his femur! Besides being a dangerous fracture the femur is supposed to be the most painful bone to break and he was walking around. In the end had to show him the break to get him to sit down on a wheelchair and into the hands of orthopedics. That man's pain tolerance still impresses me.

Intercepted a young woman who was just hit by a car. Her boyfriend was standing with her freaking out. I do a basic physical exam and get a history, and make her comfortable as we wait for the ambulance to arrive. Once the ambulance arrives they ask for the same information, except this time the boyfriend mentions he was the one who was actually hit by the car and was shielding his girlfriend's body. The entire car's windshield was cracked by the impact of his back. He was just freaking out and worried about her, and was in shock and hadn't begun to feel any pain yet.Show All 18 Upvotes
