i work in a cardiology clinic, performing nuclear cardiac perfusion studies. so basically ive got a patient, a camera, and a procedure. for the record, i love what i do, but there are just some things that get on my nerves. hahaha... hope you get a laugh out of these. and lets hear some of yours.
PP#1
me: ok just lie down on the table and ill take care of the rest
pt: want me to take my clothes off?
me: no, just lie down on the table
pt: what about my shoes?
me: no, just lie down on the table
pt: ok, well i should probably leave my cell phone with my wife/husband in the waiting room
me: no need, just lie down. if there is anything i need done, ill let you know.
pt: ok so you want me to lie down now?
i swear this happens at least once a day.
PP#2
this is more funny to me than anything. but it just makes me wonder "why???"...
patient comes into the camera room there is a desk with a computer on it, and patient charts all over it, and a nice office chair in front of it. so, i would think, obviously there is work being done there by someone sitting in that chair. so why do patients automatically just lay their stuff on my chair as soon as they walk in? hahaha. and its not even like hanging their coat on the back rest. its leaving the three bags of whatever they brought with them on the seat of my chair hahahaha.
PP#3
-i call a patient's name in the waiting room.
-a patient stands up
-i ask them to follow me
-verify patient's identity by name and birth date
-its not the patient i called
-the names arent even similar
-"why did you stand up when i called someone else's name out???", says me
-"i wanted to be seen right away", says pt
-"do you realize how dangerous what you did is? what if i didnt verify your identity? i could have gotten started on a procedure that could potentially kill you because it was tailored to the patient i was looking for", says i
-"oh i didnt realize that. im sorry. but since im here, can you just take me now?"
-"no. you will need to wait your turn when i am ready for you. please have a seat in the waiting room until your name is called"
