Haha, I hear “epidermals” a fair bit.Epidermals
my doc said when I was young that one leg is shorter than the other so I need my percs

“Well...it’s been a minute”
Why can’t I just get a straight answer?

ThisSpouse - I had the same thing. I got the L4.
“Show me where it hurts.”This
I feel it, it’s my L5
Was it blue ribbon ?Haha, I hear “epidermals” a fair bit.
Another classic on the NPPW recently,

To be honest, if she had a good cigna plan, he might have said that(Patient with mild cervical stenosis from the boonies)
Patient: The surgeon said if I don’t have surgery right away I’ll be paralyzed
Me: I bet he did ma’am. I bet he did.....

God I hate it when patients do that. The funny thing is it’s primarily educated, well to do patients who say stuff like that to me. A little bit of webmd is a dangerous thing.“Show me where it hurts.”
“My MRI shows I have a bulged disc at L3”

“At L3” *points to sacrum*
WC case mgr brought a pic of her mom’s X-ray showing grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L4/5, doc in Mexico told her the same thing 🤦♂️(Patient with mild cervical stenosis from the boonies)

Had a guy last week hand me a 6 page typed up novel on his neck pain when I walked in the room and stared in disbelief when I said I didn't need it.
The minute they say this I know they are looking for one thing.My back pain all started when I was 5 and I fell out of a tree....... SMH
