A 23 year old female (moderately attractive) came in for headache, fever, chills, and stiff neck. Obviously needed to rule out meningitis.
So when it was time for the spinal tap....there was an odd tattoo to her lower back.
It had a sign that said "Put It In Here" and an arrow pointing down. And it wasn't pointing to the area of the lumbar spine that the needle was supposed to go in!

Classy.
ReplyDeleteHer parents must be so proud.
ReplyDelete@Anon: if her parents have been reading that tattoo, then the tattoo is the least serious issue to be concerned about.
ReplyDeletemoderately attractive your a doctor use the pain scale to describe please
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of tattoo that you need to picture on a little, old lady.

ReplyDeletePlease, continue to put it there, exclusively, because at least you aren't reproducing.

ReplyDeleteI love it! Yes, that is so true.
Trampy will probably figure out that reproducing thing one of these days...and/or come to her senses and get it removed.
I'm guessing that you didn't follow the directions.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I am sure when she is old and wrinkled she will still love the tat. Not!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Moderately attractive? You got her number after the LP right?
ReplyDeleteWow don't you just love it when they come with directions!?!
