*DING* goes the call bell for room 4. . .
Every time I hear a call bell, I get an impending sense of dread. Is it one of my patients? No? Ok, good. Oh, but that person's nurse isn't ready available? Ok, let's do this.
*Enters room*
NurseHubba: Yes, sir? What can I do for you?
Grumpy Guy With Complaint Unknown To Me: I have the hiccups!
NurseHubba: Ummm. . . okaaay?
Grumpy: Well?!?!
NurseHubba: I'm sorry, sir. Unfortunately, modern medicine hasn't found the cure for that one yet.
Grumpy: This is bullshit!
*Hears nurses outside of room giggle*
C'mon, Hubba! The cure for intractable hiccups is Thorazine! (It's true--look it up!) ps love the blog!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard that before.
DeleteStill, the guy was there for something else and just happened to start hiccuping. Not sure I wanna throw down on some Thorazine for that.
Definitely learned something new, though. Thanks!
