Humor is a shield in the ER. It helps us cope. We laugh a lot. At each other, at ourselves, at the weirdness. Check these out. They’re all real complaints of real ER patients.
- "I have Bavarian cysts."
- "My doctor said that I may have a blood clog in my leg."
- "I have a stiff neck. My doctor said it could be Smiling Mighty Jesus." Either that or spinal meningitis.
- "My lips are chapped."
- Attacked by an ostrich.
- "I can't get the apple out of my vagina. The orange came out fine last night." It had to be surgically removed.
- "The left side of my brain isn't working. It gets better when I eat beets."
- Superman got hit by a car. He came in naked, wearing only a cape and socks. Why? "The FBI implanted something in my brain and now I can't fly!"
- "I got attacked by a squirrel."
- "I was cleaning my butt with my electric toothbrush and it got sucked in, the whole way.”
- "Ghosts are sexually assaulting me."
- Got attacked by a yak while cleaning the yak pen.
- "I was sexually assaulted by the mushrooms I ate. They melted my brain."
- "Ghosts are touching my cat."
