A patient came to the ER complaining of severe abdominal pain. Me: "Na-ospital na po ba siya dati?" Patient's dad: "Opo, dok." Me: "Ano daw po sakit niya?" Patient's father: "Meron daw kasi siyang kidney e." Me: (I have a kidney, too! )
A four-year old patient with a two-day history of fever suddenly becomes unresponsive, opens and closes his mouth rhythmically and had eyes moving upwards and downwards. He was having a seizure. He was immediately brought to Pediatrics ER. Pedia doctor: "Tumirik talaga ang mata?" Patient's worried mother: "Opo, dok! Akala ko natakot lang siya doon sa mama e!" We all looked at the man outside who had a large body and gruff beard on his chin. (Scary nga naman! )
A psychotic patient (strapped to a stretcher that was just given an anti-psychotic intramuscularly) raises his hands to the heavens and shouts, "Oh God, pareho na tayong high! Ang pagkakaiba natin, ikaw ang most high at ako high lang!!!" (He has a point! )
