Hahahahaa...ms. vagus. Love it. So true. Patient comes in, presents with nonspecific pain, allergic to every OTC non-narcotic out there (naturally), it's the "worst pain they've ever felt", they have to have meds NOW (in the middle of the night), and then they get pissed and say they hate you when you refuse to write them a scrip for an absurd number of pills. Perfect.
So unbelievably true. Even in a hospital in a swanky high-income suburb of the SF Bay Area, we saw those "patients". I firmly believe in a "No-Fault Discretion" law that would, once invoked, allow hospital staff to 'evict' these sorts of people and grant immunity from all non-criminal legal complaints. THAT would clean up the EDs in a hurry!
If I were not laughing I would be crying from how true this video is. I work full-time in the ER and people in the general public cannot conceive how frustrating a majority of the patients in the ER are and how very NOT sick 99% of them are
This is so funny and soooo true. I had a guy come to triage one day with a complaint of abdominal pain for 10 years. So I asked him why he came in today and he told me he finally got a ride.
i get the "it starts with 'D'" thing a lot. and when they're on the floor, they never say "10 out of 10" for pain. that would make them sound like a drug addict, as if everything else they said didn't.

So painfully true. And painfully funny: "A very lucky nurse will be with you shortly."
