This shit pissed me off at work the other night. Our Er as every ER this time of year is busier than usual d/t flu sniffles and cold type symptoms. I was in triage and had 20 papers in my hand still to triage and a line of 15 more signing in.
This mexican couple comes in to be triaged. They speak little to no english. This is fine. I hate using the translator phone but if the pt is sick then I have no probs pulling it out. So I ask her what is gong on:
Stupid Bitch: " My husband thinks I have been with another man. I want a test to prove I am not cheating on him"
Super ER nurse: There are no tests that we can do to prove you were or were not cheating. Do you still wanna be seen by a M?"
SB: Yes, I want to show him with a test that I am not cheating.
Me: ma'am there is no such test to show this. I can still check you in but there is not a test to show this at all. It will be atleast an 8 hour wait and the MD is going to tell you the exact same thing. I am just tryng to save you from wasting 8 hours of your day and your 3 kids day.
Dumb ass Bitch and stupid ass husband: I want to be tested.
Me: We are not guna sign you in. yall ned to see a family counselor to work this problem. This is not an EMERGENCY room situation.
I actualey felt dumber after having this conversation.
