Man: My grandmother is very sick! She needs antibiotics!
Me: Yes, the doctor just ordered them, and I'm going to go get them right now.
Man: But she's having cardiac arrest over there! (gesturing to his little grandma who is sitting up in the bed, smiling and eating a tuna sandwich)
Me: Do you know what that means?
Man: Uh, no. It just sounded important.

So .. that is an attempt to work like "I'm having chest pain that radiates down my left arm" in triage?? Buys you a room (or hall spot with portable monitor) But not as believable with the tuna sandwich eating, huh :-)
Only in the ER.
"Gimme a sammitch!" shoulda been taught in nursing school. Damn.
-5 points for schmuckitude.
+1 for copping to it.
Haha.
Brilliant!
There are a bunch of things that need to be taught in nursing school!!!!!
It will never happen though, don't want to scare away all them impressionable newbys!

a good one...
Tell them that you would be glad to get out the crash cart and light her up. That should make them think twice about pulling that little stunt. ARGH!
