Had a remarkably quiet night at work. Nothing like this list of "highlights" of ED chief complaints over at Deadspin.
A choice selection:
• 56YOF INJURED RIGHT PALM WHILE OPENING CHOPSTICKS PUNCTURE WOUND OF HAND
• REPORTS WAS ANGRY&HIT SELF IN THE HEAD WITH A BEER BOTTLE, DENIES SI/HI >>LAC
• EYEBROW LAC-13YOF-HIT W/A THROWN SIPPY CUP-@ HOME
• 17 YOF PRACTICING "FAKE FALL" AND THEN ACTUALLY FELL HITTING HEAD ON FL OOR SUSTAINING CHI
• PT FELL DURING MARCHING BAND PERFORMANCE & HIT HEAD ON INSTRUMENT (POSS SAXAPHONE), NO LOC, NOW W/HA, CONFUSION & BLURRY VISION; HEAD INJURY
• PT DOING SUMMERSAULTS AT HOME AND STRUCK HER L SHIN ON A PORCELIN DUCK. HAS CUT ON SHIN. DX L LOWER LEG LAC
It is funny because it is true. (Including the complete inability of triage nurses to spell things correctly.)
