David had been extremely anxious for years. It
got to the point where his compulsive worrying was ruining his life, so he went
to a psychiatrist, who recommended that David hire a professional worrier.
After
he'd been working with the specialist for a few months, David's friend John
noticed a change. "What happened?" John asked. "You don't worry
about anything anymore."
"I
hired a professional worrier!" David answered.
"That
must cost a fortune," John said.
"Yes,
he charges RM10,000 a month," David said sheepishly.
"Ten
thousand ringgit! How can you ever afford to pay him?" John exclaimed.
"I
don't know," David said. "That's his problem."
Can you
please stop asking Santa for the perfect woman???
I
almost got kidnapped 3 times today!!!
Children
were called upon in a classroom to make sentences with words chosen by the
teacher. The teacher smiled when Jack, a slow learner, raised his hand to
participate during the challenge of making a sentence with the words
"Defeat," "Defense," "Deduct," and "Detail."
Jack
stood thinking for a while; all eyes focused on him while his classmates
awaited his reply. Smiling, he then proudly shouted out, "Defeat of deduct
went over defense before detail."
There was a competition to cross the English
Channel doing only the breaststroke, and the three women who entered the race
were a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde.
After
approximately 14 hours, the brunette staggered up on the shore and was declared
the fastest. About 40 minutes later, the redhead crawled up on the shore and
was declared the second-place finisher.
Nearly
4 hours after that, the blonde finally came ashore and promptly collapsed in
front of the worried onlookers.
When
the reporters asked why it took her so long to complete the race, she replied,
"I don't want to sound like I'm a sore loser, but I think those two other
girls were using their arms...
Apple
announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play
music. The iBoob will cost from RM4,999 to RM6,999, depending upon the cup and
speaker size.
The
developers are hailing this as a major social breakthrough because women are
always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.
Our
consumers need to own the biggest and most expensive version of just about
everything. Our compulsive desire to drive off-road vehicles in cities and use
corkscrews that resemble offshore drilling equipment is well documented. As
marketing targets, men are suckers for terms like "professional" or
"industrial strength," because inside every man is the germ of every
profession, he ever imagined himself one day excelling at. Most of these
purchases are harmless, little more than childish wish-fulfillment played out
at a higher testosterone level. But occasionally we go too far. The guy
upstairs from me once boasted that he had a filter that filled his flat with
"operating theater-quality air." I kept him away from my surgical
steel steak knives.
It’s
been raining for days now and my husband seems very depressed by it...
He
keeps standing by the window, staring.
If it
continues like this, I’m going to have to let him in.
From: Hospital Director.
Subject: Proper Narrative Descriptions.
It has come to our attention
from several emergency rooms that many EMS narratives have taken a decidedly
creative direction lately. Effective immediately, all members are to refrain
from using slang and abbreviations to describe patients, such as the following.
a) Cardiac patients should not
be referred to as suffering from MUH (messed up heart), PBS (pretty bad shape),
PCL (pre-code looking), or HIBGIA (had it before, got it again).
b) Stroke patients are NOT
"Charlie Carrots." Nor are rescuers to use CCFCCP(Coo Coo for Cocoa
Puffs) to describe their mental state.
c) Trauma patients are not CATS
(cut all to shit), FDGB (fall down, go boom), TBC (total body crunch), or
"hamburger helper." Similarly, descriptions of a car crash do not
have to include phrases like "negative vehicle to vehicle interface"
or "terminal deceleration syndrome.
d) HAZMAT teams are highly
trained professionals, not "glow worms."
e) Persons with altered mental
states as a result of drug use are not considered "pharmaceutically gifted."
f) Gunshot wounds to the head
are not "trans-occipital implants."
g) The homeless are not
"urban outdoorsmen," nor is endotracheal intubation referred to as a
"PVC Challenge."
h) And finally, do not refer to
recently deceased persons as being "paws up," ART (assuming room
temperature), CC (Cancel Christmas), CTD (circling the drain), DRT (dead right
there), or NLPR (no long-playing records).
I know you will all join me in
respecting the cultural diversity of our patients to include their medical
orientations in creating proper narratives and log entries.
