Craigslist wack jobs

A serious question: Is that legal?

In Bowling Green, Ky around 1970 no one was concerened about legal. It was and probably still is a Bible Belt area.

Pretty sure a few landlords turned me away because i was moving _from_ a fraternity house. I wanted a little peace and quiet and they apparently thought i was bringing the party with me.

well, maybe a party of two now and then.

just about everyone is absolutely fuc*ing nuts in one way or another.

two of my sayings:

we're all nuts.
&
there's two kinds of nuts, those that are locked up and those of us still roaming around free (the rest of us).

If someone starts a "wack jobs interacting with the medical community" thread I'll get things rolling...

+1 Count me in on that as well. My wife is a nurse, so are a few other family members. Holy crap. Awesome stories.

My favorite involves a cucumber lubed with peanut oil and a guy alergic to peanuts.

I see no reason to exclude any nut jobs from this. If someone can change the thread title or tell me how to do, I am all for it.

OK.

My college roommate and best friend from HS are both doctors.

I like this one. Far from the best, but I like it.

College roommate is a pediatrician. He is doing clinic, and is with a teenage girl, maybe 16. He has her diagnosis, and walks back into the room with the verdict. Parents, grandmother, siblings, and perhaps a few others are in the room.

He asks do you want your whole family for this, your diagnosis is personal and you could ask them to leave. No, she says, they are my family and they can stay. "Are you sure?" he asks. Yes, they can stay.

OK, he shrugs, fine, whatever. "You have chlamydia."

Mom says "Chlamydia? That run in our family!"

Can't make this up...

Recently was selling a few guitars...had one guy tell me I had to sell him the guitar for half of what I was asking because he was a "virtuoso."

ahah. I know a general surgeon who told me about a plastic water bottle that a guy ... um ... misplaced inside himself.

Yeah. This particular story the patient came in having an allergic reation, going into shock and all that. He wasn't answering questions truthfully and not being any help to the doctors. They did an xray/catscan/something and found the cucumber in...himself. It was a big one. Wouldn't lay flat in the little puke pail they give people. Anyways, that was weird, but he wasn't allergic to cucumbers, so it didn't explain the allergic reation. Further questioning he finally admitted that his boyfriend had lubed it with peanut oil. He's allergic to peanuts.

Other stories:
-finding dead cockroaches in a woman's fat rolls
-a patient came in after taking the V pill to have some "me time" and it's effects hadn't worn off after 4hrs and he couldn't finish it off himself. No, the nurses didn't 'help him along'. They drained it with a needle. This wasn't his first time being in there with the same issue.
-A patient's family member wrote a letter to the CEO of the hospital calling my wife a racist because she didn't look him in the eye while she was in the room checking on the patient.

That's all for now.

The worst I've heard was a prisoner with a colostomy bag who had some sort of STD where you wouldn't expect.

I would imagine most people have had some interaction with craigslist. This is the email I got today from someone looking to rent an apartment:

"Hi xxxx, thank you for getting back to me.

But I am very sensitive to EMF fields, cell phone towers, wifi etc and seeking a place where there is not a lot of ambient radiation in the airwaves. (The xxxxx area is good, but it has been like looking for a needle in a haystack). If there is any possibility that your house would be a good fit I could come any night at your convenience, thank you, xxxxx"
?

We should all be so conscious of these things

Oh my God. This has happened at least twice. Twice is too many. The story that I didn't want to tell.

I'm a jail nurse. This is fully believable.

When I was apartment hunting in the city, I found a list for a dude who'd let you live there rent free as long as he could spoon you at night; no sex. Found another one for someone who couldn;t keep a roommate because they couldn't keep themselves from coming into your room and throwing ice cubs at you while you slept.

Gross.

The only whack-jobs I've encountered are the usuall scam: "Is your item still available?" (like they can't even write "bike" or "wheelset"). I guess I've been lucky.

Ok, I'll start the "medical side" to this thread.
So many stories....

Ok, here it is. Just this one;

Late one night a woman fell out of bed. Wasn't injured, just needed assistance getting back into bed.

Upon arrival the medics found the woman to be:

*Young

*Very large and

*Very naked.

It was also a warm summer evening and she was "glowing" (that's Suth'un fine talk for, "Sweating like a pig").

One member of the crew (a body builder, of course) said, "Ok, I'm going to "squat" her.

He got behind this young woman who was sitting straight legged on the floor, put his arms under hers and with a (mandatory... he's a body builder) yell hiked the patient onto the bed... well almost. Her feet were on the floor and her cheeks were on the edge of the bed. The medic then jumped onto the bed and attempted the same manuver while another crew member grabbed the young woman by the ankles and shoved.

What happened next will live on only in bar stories.

One last lift with a blood curdling yell and while the medic had the strength to lift the patience he didn't have the strength to maintain his grip. She was slick from sweating (oh, sorry. "Glowing like a pig") and the medic went flying over backwards into the closet, but not before taking off both doors as he (in slow motion) glided through the air. The medic on the ankles shoved hard, and though the patient didn't move, the bed did, pinning medic #1 upside down in the closet.

Medic #1 had to stay in the closet while the patient was hiked up onto the bed. The rest of the crew managed to then slide the bed away from the closet and extract medic #1 along with the closet doors. One of the female medics, through uncontrollable hysterical laughter said, "That's the funniest thing I've ever seen!"

After the closet was rebuilt the (still naked) patient was asked if she needed anything else. Her only reply was, "No, I'll be ok, just so long as no one else screams in my ear!"

Maybe sometime I should tell the story of the guy who was trying to impress his girl friend so she wouldn't leave him. It involved a .22 handgun, the fine, but unpracticed art of "quick-draw" and an unmentioned item that resembled a kielbasa, after five minutes in the microwave....

I'm sure THAT impressed her.
