Good Ole Mom
Mom's can mean well, but sometimes they can be just a little frustrating too. Here are some funny examples from the last week.
1) A 28 year old female drove her car into an overpass b/c she was so distraught. Why was she so distraught??? Because she walked in on her mom doing her ex boyfriend who just broke up with her!
2) A 38 year old male called EMS for a sore throat and being upset after his mother told him to "Get a job not a dog!"
3) A 53 year old male came in for severe constipation. He was mad b/c his mom gave him some of her medicines, but they weren't working. The medicines were Dulcolax suppositories. When asked how he was taking the medicines, he stated with a glass of water....meaning he was swallowing them. For those who don't know, suppositories are meant to be placed up the butt, so no shit they weren't working (pun intended).

number 1: never drive when you are emotionally distressed.
number 2:
You called EMS for a sore throat?!
number 3: There are instructions for a very good reason.
