Mr Tea!
ER radio goes off, to my surprise, I'm getting a grown ass man that drank some tea he found in basement that he thought might be two years old; he wasn't really sure! In rolls Mr Tea, both eyes closed and unable to open. I thought PLEASE! I assist Mr Tea in his gown and gently laid his starched shirt on the side. I explain our procedures (keeping him informed) and walked out the room to enter his unnnecessary ER visit in the computer. When I return to the room, he opened those pittiful eyes to tell me I owe him for dry cleaning! So I gingerly explained to him his clothing was in better condition than my last patients, I cut right up the side of the buttons with these fancy scissors they give us to work with! I smiled with empathy!

Sorry, Dude. When you come to the ER, getting clothes trashed is part of the deal, along with loss of modesty and strangers seeing your ass through the back of the gown.
ReplyDeleteKinda dirty cutting non-trauma, non-unconscious dood's shirt off. I like it though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he might have needed an enema.
