So I used to work as a "Patient Representative" in an ER. Basically, I admitted patients into the ER. You'll notice I'm using past tense...more on that later.
Anyways, I was working in the ER on a particularly busy day when a man and his son stepped up to my cubby.
Me: Name?
PT Father: _______
Me: Great, what's your address?
PT Father: ____________
Everything is going along swimingly until a patient is rolled into the front door...
Then it turns into this...
Me: Are you employed full time?
Pt Father: ((RAAAAAWWWWRRRR-patient in the waiting room vomits into sick bag))
Me: I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
PT Father: ((RAAAAWWWWRRRR-patient in the waiting room vomits into sick bag)) blah blah blah
Me: Great, What's your cell phone number?
Pt Father: _____________
Me: Ok, does your wife work?
PT Father: ((RAAAAWWWWRRRR-patient in the waiting (PIW) room vomits, yet again)
Me: I'm sorrry, could you repeat that?
PT Father: Yeah __
Me: Ohh, OK, what's her number?
PT Father: ((RAAAWWWWRRRRR-PIW vomits....again))
Me: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[10 minutes later]
PT Father: Umm, are you ok?
Me: Yes. (still laughing)
One of my supervisors happened to be in the ER and watched the whole thing unfold. This patient managed to throw up every single time I asked this guy a question, what was I supposed to do??
She threw up like I imagine a dinosaur would. RAAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!!!!!
Ironically, this is how I throw up when I get any type of alcohol in my system besides beer. RAWR.
