"Let's get this suicidal paperwork done so I can apply for SSI."
 
not a CC, but...

me: have you ever been diagnosed with any psychiatric conditions?

pt: I have the antisocial personality disorder.
 
"I'm just being a consumer of your fine services."

and,

"the TV at Mike's house isn't doing me no good."
 
In the ER: "I'm here for my check-up"

In the office: "Is it ok to have a 13 incher?"

If I had a 13 incher, I'd find equally creative ways to share with others. If you're a cute female, don't be surprised if he's malingering 😉
 
Also not a CC, but:

"patient strengths: math, friends, eating Skittles."

Seriously?!? Fraking Skittles?!?
 
This one caused me to pause for a second to make sure I heard it correctly before continuing.

In the office: "I was having sex with my boyfriend, he went into the wrong hole, and then I had a seizure."
 
ED attending to me, close to midnight about a consult :

"he's saying he's anxious and needs a friend"😍
 
The patient? Or the doc calling the consult?

^The patient..he was anxious and needed a friend. That's the chief complaint per ED attending who consulted Psychiatry.
