Some Patients to Never Forget


the pregnant young teenager texting on her iPhone during a trans-vaginal ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, then actually picking up her phone and talking to someone when it rang...and the trans-vaginal ultrasound probe is still inside her

the 89yo Russian man with a huge picture of Lennon tattooed over his chest, over his heart actually

the 19 year old Male with chest pain that I helped diagnose with pericarditis and then ended up having Troponins of 35 [myocarditis!]

the young lady who was having a miscarriage and brought in the contents in her maxi-pad. then showing us and actually seeing the fetus [with eyes!]. A white/clear piece of tissue about the size of my thumb nail and clearly resembling an alien. I held a fetus in my hand that day. incredible.

a young teenage girl being wheeled into the resuscitation room in the pediatric emergency room for an overdose after having found out she was pregnant. she posted a goodbye note to her friends on facebook, so they went over to her home and found her passed out in the bathroom. [she ended up being just fine, physically at least. this was her 2nd suicide attempt]
