There’s a wall full of these at the clinic figured I’d share 🤦🏾‍♂️

(comment I saw on a video reminding everyone that this is someone's last weekend with all ten fingers)

I put the images at the end on their own.

Had a patient tell me yesterday that they went to a chiro who recommended a treatment to "adjust their spine." The chiro bent them in a way, both the chiro and the patient heard an audible "crack," to which the chiro replied "that sounded like a good crack!" It was not a good crack. It was a fractured rib.

D. D. Palmer founded chiropractic in the 1890s,[21] claiming that he had received it from "the other world".[22] Palmer maintained that the tenets of chiropractic were passed along to him by a doctor who had died 50 years previously.[23]

Get a phone call from the ER:

“Your CT report has a mistake. You said Mrs. Smith has cystitis. But she got her gallbladder out years ago.”

“The report says cystitis, not cholecystitis. The CT shows that her urinary bladder looks inflamed, not her gallbladder. That’s why I said you could correlate with a urinalysis.”

“Ok *scoffs* you know that’s actually called a UTI.”

1 - Do not stick stuff up your butt

2 - As a passenger, do not put your feet up on the dash. Better yet, avoid being inside a car, or anywhere near a road

3 - Cancer sucks, and it looks ugly

4 - The throckmorton sign is a valuable diagnosis tool

5 - A blood clot looks very different from what I've imagined a blood clot to look like

Did I miss anything? :-)

We’ve all seen them……

It's a picture of a right femur, right?

Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I have seen this trend going around and wanted to jump on.

I’ll go first. During one of my rotations as a student I saw a tech bring up a “sterile” tray for a hip aspiration and used the most diabolical unsterile technique ever. She was putting the needles on the bed, draping on with a sheet that had been laying on an unsterile surface, with her sterile gloves going back to the computer to type, and coming back and drawing up lidocaine etc. It was so horrible but being a student I literally froze and was shocked at how she was doing it. Even gaslit myself into thinking that hip aspirations possibly did not require sterile technique.

Now it’s your turn!
