Man, most of those are..epic.

"When your 15yo daughter gives precipitous delivery to a bleating, underweight infant 30 minutes after presenting to triage c "gas pains", you should run around the department loudly yelling, "I don't know what y'all did or who that baby is, but my lil' girl warn't pregnant when she come in here" "

Seen that one.
Except she was 14, and was doing the pregnancy denying herself on the way to L&D. As the illusory infant was crowning at the launch window.

The funny part was the doc who hadn't seen her for her "abdominal pain" (because she came in at the last 1/2 hour of his shift) stopped his charting, looked up and said "Y'know, come to think of it, she was moaning just about every 3 minutes on the dot..." then went right back to finishing his night's paperwork, as the patient screaming on the gurney ("It's not mine! I'm putting it up for adoption!")could be heard all the way towards the elevators.

My body, my choice. Represent for the sisterhood. :lol:

I spent something like 2 hours reading that today. Hard to stop, it was oddly compelling.
