A patient complained about my co-worker's hair being too long for a male. So Administration made him go to the barber to get it clean cut. I thought it was funny because all the rest of us females have much longer hair lol!!!!!!!!!!!

I am an ultrasound tech and like others we have call. Once I got called in for a abdominal exam for gallstones "ABD PAIN", not so strange yet, right? Well, got the patient up and asked their symptoms and they reply "i feel like something is moving and it hurts a little". I put my probe down....and what do you know...the patient is in LABOR....I have heard about pregnancy denial, but for someone in labor to have pass through a doctor and ER without knowing the patient is in LABOR and to rule out gallstones instead....i find the strange and SCARY.

I had a patient come through the ER. She was obviously fearful and concerned. She would only talk in a whisper. She asked several times, " Are they here?" "Can they hear us?" When questioned further, she told me that her garden gnomes were telling her government secrets. Needless to say she became a visitor on our psych ward.

OK this is quite embarrassing but here i go a mum brought her to the ER when she was like 10 years old, yes I she two lumps on her chest and her mum was worried. So the doctor examined her and went out talking to the nurse rather laughing alittle. He came in and told the mother she is just starting puberty at an early age!!! So you can imagine the mothers reaction being told this I need not say anymore!!

A mom comes into the ER frantic. "My child needs to see a doctor quickly!" As the triage nurse I ask, "What’s the problem?" The mom says "My daughter has a bump on her arm its really itchy and red, she won't stop scratching at it! I called the pediatrician and he said to come to the ER." I say to the little girl, "Let me take a look, sweetie." When she lifts up her sleeve there is a small mosquito bite on her arm! You can't make these things up!

I work in a busy radiology office. One day, a man came in complaining of headaches. He had x-rays on his head. On completion of the exam, he asked me "if I saw it." I replied, "Saw what sir". Then he advised me he had been abducted by aliens and had a device implanted in his head. Actually, the look on my face was amusement but he said "by the look on your face, I can tell you did see it." Though the findings did not confirm any such thing, I often wonder could it be. Just kidding.

A patient once complained that she hated any types of injections and was mad that I was going to give her one. I told her that SHE had made the appt for a flu shot.

As a psych nurse, I encounter "strange" complaints regularly. I've met Jesus, Elvis, Superman, and the president. I've seen patients being pursued by aliens, those with microchips implanted in their brains, those who hear voices of angels and demons and those whose thoughts are broadcast on tv. "Bizarre" is the norm for those I see. How incredibly challenging it is for these individuals with brain disorders and those who care for them. Rather than relating this in a "shocking" way, I encourage empathy and respect for these often bright, creative individuals who face challenges that most of us cannot imagine. Frequently, with appropriate medication and support, these remarkable individuals can live productive lives.

It's crazy when people don't what is going on. When I brought a patient in the room, I asked, "Do you know what you are here for today?" The replied, " For a physical exam!" That reply would have been fine if I didn't work in an ORAL SURGERY OFFICE!

Thanks a lot for telling me now I can tell the teacher that your cheating......I said what? Oh no you don't you asked out of the blue so I will deny any cheating.

I work in the dental field in all my years I will never forget the patient who came in complaining of their tooth. Well it had broken days before I was told and the patient actually used SUPER GLUE to put it back together. Of course it wasn't straight and it was a nightmare of a mess. Really though SUPER GLUE in the mouth? yikes I will never forget her.....

I don't work in a hospital. I am a nursing assistant at a nursing home. I don't have any stories about patient visiting, but I have some stories about my residents making laugh. One night about a week ago, I was in the restroom helping a resident get ready for bed. I turned around to get the towels off of the rack on the wall and there stood my co-worker. She scared me so much I jumped and made a sound. The resident thought this was so funny, she just laughed and laughed. She actually laughed so hard she peed a little. Instead of being embarrassed by it, she just piped up, "At least I was on the toilet when you made me do that!" My co-worker and I laughed right along with her.

I used to work nights on a cardiac floor. One morning, a doctor went in to see my patient and asked how his night was. The patient, not knowing I could hear him responded, "Doc, I haven't been woke up in the middle of the night by a blond in 30 years! This is a heart floor, you shouldn't have so many cute nurses running around!" I could not stop giggling.

We had a patient a month or so ago that came in because they had put rubber bands up their nose. (I work in peds). I thought that was pretty CRAZY!

I am a Direct Care Staff, where I work in a group home for special needs consumers. It brings joy to them when they see the colorful designs on my scubs. It's the little things in life that often bring simple comfort to a person's life.

A patient once called me five minutes til closing and wanted to schedule an appointment to be seen that day, because a chicken had scratched her on the face by her eye. I asked how the chicken scratched her and she replied, "Well it was sitting on my shoulder..." I thought she was one of my coworkers and I said, "yeah right". Then she said she was the aunt of one of my coworkers and that explained it all, enough said.

We had an emergency walk-in patient whose dentures broke in half. Unfortunately, the patient put the broken dentures into his mouth and used superglue to repair the dentures himself! So there he sat in our chair, panicking, with his tongue glued to his denture and his denture glued to his mouth. I'm all for do-it-yourself, but sometimes there is no substitute for the skills of a professional!

Monday, September 14, 2009 by Stacy:

I was looking through your scrubs and wow was I surprised at the selection of tall and plus size scrubs that you have. I have a very hard time usually buying scrubs you just made it alot easier for me. Thank you

I had a patient who came in complaining of frequent nausea. Nothing unusual about that. But he kept asking different nurses and techs for toothpaste. By the time I caught on to what was happening and questioned him, he had eaten approximately 13 small tubes of toothpaste. And, being a black man, he had a hard time hiding his very white lips. The patients told me he has been addicted to eating it for years! I can't imagine why he would be nauseated? Can you?

I typically start my assessment with, "What brought you to the hospital?" to elicit the patient's presenting complaint. Occasionally I hear, "The car," "My wife," or "An ambulance."

I work at a assisted living and the residents say they love my scrubs. They say there pretty.

Patient presented to the emergency department with the complaint, "Can't stop pulling my hair." In fact, she had pulled out all the hair on her head, including her eyelashes and eyebrows.

A 92-year old woman had a full cardiac arrest at home and was rushed to the hospital. After about thirty minutes of unsuccessful resuscitation attempts the elderly patient was pronounced dead. The doctor went to tell her 78-year old daughter that her mother didn't make it. "Didn't make it? Where could they be? She left in the ambulance forty-five minutes ago!"

Thursday, September 17, 2009 by Bev:

A patient once came to the emergency department by ambulance with the presenting complaint, "I just need to use the phone." She said her phone had been cut off, she asked to borrow her neighbor's, her neighbor said no, so she faked a seizure to prompt the neighbor to call 911. I wonder how many phone bills she could have paid with the money it took to cover that ambulance ride and emergency department visit.

Years ago a patient came to the hospital complaining that he had swallowed bedsprings. It was true--confirmed by xray! He had surgery to remove them.

I work for a Pain Management specialist where we had an elderly man come in as a new patient. I went into the exam room to get his medical history and asked him what problem he was seeing the doctor for today. He proceeded to tell me that his wife is always nagging and that it is driving him crazy so he was there to find out how he could MANAGE because she was becoming a PAIN in his A**. It was very difficult to tell him with a straight face that he was at the wrong type of doctor because we only treat PHYSICAL pain and that we would not be able to help out with his problem. He was quite embarrassed but got a good laugh out of it himself.

I can't express how much I love Lydia uniform. I think I have almost every printed scrub top that you have. Everyone loves my uniforms and can't believe that I have so many. I have spent alot of money on scrubs and wish you would offer some sort of incentive for by so many get one free and so on. Something to think about. Some sort of incentive to continue people to shop at Lydia's. just a thought!!
