I haven't really had too much in a long while for this segment, but it's getting better and better everyday.
Here's a few I've had recently...
"Please call the minister. I want to let him know what I want for my funeral." Patient #1
He's not even dying yet, but this guy wanted us to do everything to get the chaplain on the unit right away recently. Chaplain had already left for the day, so we left the service a message. Now if he starts dreaming about the dead relatives and the farm...that's a whole other story!
"Is that a beer bottle over there on the shelf?"
"Where's my good luck kiss before I go in the ring?" Patient #2
This patient is demented and his worst periods often happen in the middle of the night. No, there is no beer bottle, but the flashlight we keep there sure can look like one in the dark.
I get the pleasure of reorienting him back to the hospital, which isn't nearly as exciting as his career in the Marines, the boxing ring, or as a bartender.
Stay tuned for more goodies!
