Mrs. Hyve: "I'm allergic to all medications. I'm even allergic to Benadryl."
Dr. Grumpy: "What happens?"
Mrs. Hyve: "All medications give me a rash, so to safely take any pill, I have to take another pill first, to prevent the rash from happening."
Dr. Grumpy: "What do you take to keep the rash from occurring?"
Mrs. Hyve: "Benadryl."
I'm allergic to my patients, to treat any patients I alternate between valium and vodka???
ReplyDeleteJoseph Heller would be proud.
ReplyDeleteThese are the people I want to suffer the hives under the toenails that the patient who really IS allergic to benadryl suffers until properly diagnosed. (yes, sometimes I do wish ill on my patients)
ReplyDeleteMy head is spinning after reading that.
ReplyDeleteYou must be a very strong person, Dr. Grumpy, because if I had to deal with this many stooooopid people, I'd have lost all faith in humanity.
ReplyDeleteOMG. My mother is your patient. Alternatively (and probably more likely), there's another person out there just like her, which is scary.
ReplyDeleteSide effects =/= allergy, mom. *sigh*
