【故事一】 Actual conversation I had with a guy a week ago. Any past
medical history? "High blood pressure. That's it" No other history?
"Nope. That's it." (Proceed to take off his shirt.) Sir. What is
that huge scar on your chest? "Oh that's from my triple bypass."
That's medical history sir. Anything else you want to add in now?
"Oh does CHF and diabetes count? I have those also" 【故事二】 This
happened to me 3 days ago! A guy came in with a wheelchair. "Do you
have any medical issues?" "No" "…. Umm, why are you in a
wheelchair?" "Oh, I have a degenerative neuromuscular condition.
And type 2 diabetes." 【故事三】 I admitted a guy for pneumonia, which
was odd because he was young and strong, no other medical issues,
x-ray didn't look quite right. The pieces just didn't add up and so
I started questioning him more closely. Me: Do you use any drugs?
Patient: Drugs! That's disgusting. I'm not a druggie! I've never
touched drugs in my life. I move on to other questions and
suddenly: Patient "ok, doc, I just want you to know I may have used
cocaine once or twice many years ago. I just snorted it though.
That wouldn't cause this, right? Me: How long ago? Patient: Like
ten years, maybe longer. Me: It shouldn't be affecting you after
this long. Patient: ok ok, well actually, more like five. Me:
Years? Patient: Uh, like five months ago. This goes on forever,
until he admits he spent the past three days in a hotel with some
people smoking crack non-stop. He finishes with: "But I don't want
you to think I'm one of those dirty druggies.” No, I think you're
the idiot who lied and was getting treated for pneumonia instead of
getting the proper treatment for crack lung, which is what he had.
Here's a tip: I genuinely don't care. I'm not your momma, your
spouse, or your priest. Don't waste my time and endanger your
health. Whatever horrible twisted thing you think is too shameful
to talk about, I promise you, I've seen worse. ---- 想分享節目給不是 iPhone
