So it's Friday, so I'll let this one slide...

But do you ever notice the ones who check in late for their scheduled injection often have to use the restroom, just as your trying to get into the room?

sort of like the patietns who have waited 1/2 hour for a shot, and when their name is called ot go into the injection room, they "need" to use the bathroom. WTF?

Deuce pun intended?

Seriously though, that fricking drives me nuts when people decide they need to use the restroom while they are walking down to the procedure room.

i think the patients are nervous - so i don't fret about it.

however as part of our procedure scheduling we always advise patients to potty before they come in for the procedure.

Ive had a guy pee on the table during vertebroplasty cause he couldnt hold it any longer. Same guy also took a pee break without breaking scrub on a pump explant.

Funny as heck.

they're rushing to the office/ASC to not be late and hold it because they're worried it'll delay them

pt on table, tech rotating fluoro and we hear rumbling sounds, tech looks at me and asks "was that the C-arm?", pt says "sorry that was me." same tech different pt, puts grounding pad on leg and dude rips one while she's leaning over him. hilarious

It's amazing how many people will lay cable in a doctors office.

Anyone else have a patient $#!+ in the UDS designated bathroom. How rude is that knowing people are going in right after you 👎

Because of our office flow I usually have 1-2 patients to see/inject when I bring someone back for a procedure from my office. I tell them there will be a short wait, so if they need to go... seems to help a lot. Many take up the offer, usually the elderly.

We've had to replace two chairs this year after patients peed on them in the waiting area.
