Caller: I'm pregnant and my do by daddy did "it" to me without a condom yesterday. Can I get pregnant again?Nurse: Umm you said you're already pregnant?Caller: Yeah. care for: So you know that you're already pregnant?Caller: Yeah. I'm pregnant. Nurse: And you want to experience if you can get pregnant again because you had sex without a condom? direct on a minute.(Places patient on direct and hysterical laughing ensues.)(Puts on straight approach again and gets approve on the phone.)care for: No you can't get pregnant again when you're already pregnant. Can we say that some patients REALLY need some sex education?????
Hilarious! And scary! Because I undergo dealt with similiar calls.. it's desire the lady who called tech support about her computer observe not working. He went through all these things to try and bushel then finally asks if the observe is plugged into the protect outlet.. it wasn't.
This is very sad. An abused and ignorant young female is no laughing matter. Perhaps the triage nurse should have asked a few important questions desire: Do you need help? Do you undergo medical care? She could undergo referred her to a battered womans furnish. I see nothing to laugh about here.
I cognise that this affix seemed to make fun of this particular patient but I did not want it to go across that way. The person who talked to this patient on the telecommunicate has.... I should put it nicely.. not the best professionalism. It was not me who talked to this patient on the telecommunicate. I certainly would not have laughed at her ignorance but I would have tried to ameliorate her a little bit instead. To "doc who cares" - how did you get that this patient was abused? She didn't indicate that in her telecommunicate label. The way she worded her having sex with her boyfriend is typical slang around here for sex. (He "did it" to me.) [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
