Man falls 13' onto concrete, writhing in pain, healed with mere words

[hoosierdoc]

Just wanted to brag about the guy I saved today. Poor guy fell 13' from a ladder onto concrete. He went from excruciating pain and possible neck fracture, spleen rupture, and pneumothorax to walking quickly for the exit to continue his life journey. All it took was me explaining to him he was here a month ago with an identical story but a different name and our police officer would be along quickly to help confirm his true identity.

Words can hurt, but they apparently can heal too. Use this knowledge for good. Happy Thanksgiving.

Amazing how that works!

So you really don't have to show any type of ID at the ER? If that is the case if I ever have to go again I will be a deaf/mute with no wallet.

I was thinking , man all those symptoms the guy must be old , until I got to the end .

"Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot"

Sorry... Everything is taking me back to '90s music today.

we have had at least three of those type of runs today... all three transported to the ER, not a single one really NEEDED to use the 911 system.

Doc, you should be on television. You are a true healer.

Well, anything that will help... but he's allergic to Vicodin, ibuprofen, naproxen, Demerol, Morphine, and the non-yellow Percocet.

Oh, and he's never had Dilaudid, but he's willing to give it a try...

I love gomerblog, they are so spot on with their spoofs.

The worst thing about doing charts at night is you have the opportunity to check on patients and some who were critical but you thought might have done OK ended up not doing well. Life doesn't take a break on holidays, it hits you right between the eyes with impunity sometimes.
