While rounding on the SICU, me and a visiting student from the east coast were asked why it is important to avoid hyperglycemia in critically-ill patients. The visiting student quickly replies "to keep their teeth from rottening" 😱

i thought it was because sweet blood attracts mosquitos and you don't want to worry about a case of west nile virus when controlling ICP in the traumatic brain injury patient.

Did he really say rottening?
Recently had an email of a news clip...dude was interviewed about a car crash he witnessed...
"Yeah, that dude was MESSED UP...before the AMBOOOLANCE showed up a couple guys pulled him outta the car and started doing UPS on him!"
The student really did say rottening and the attending looked disturbed by the comment. I found out the student is going into family med.

Saw that myself. http://www.break.com/articles/giventhemanups.html?t=4433 Anyone who hasn't needs to check out the "medical ebonics" thread in the EM forum. It's hilarious.
