There is such thing as a stupid question

Please add your own stupid questions!

These are my picks for October*:
*These are genuine questions from curious or confused classmates!

Prof [on correlation]: Correlation can be positive or negative. Positive correlation is when one goes up the other goes up, and has a positive slope. Negative correlation is the opposite, for example, Age and Creatinine Clearance.
(Now bear in mind we are P3's so everyone knows or ought to know, when age goes up, kidney goes down. DUH!)
Class Prez: Um, can you draw that on the board for us?
👎

Prof: You might hear some irregularities in the heart beat. You can have "Regular Irregularity" or "Irregular Irregularity". Regular Irregularities occur, well, regularly. You might hear an extra sound every 6th beat, something like that.
Sudent: So what's an irregular irregularity?
👎

and my favorite dumb question I never heard:

Prof: Adderall and other stimulants could cause tics, especially if the patient has a family history of tics.
Student in front asks a question.
Prof: No... tics, as in Tourette's, not insects.

hahaha hey buddy! oh, how embarassed I am of what our P3 class is comprised of.

When asking what a vitamin K deficiency can cause.
Student: Scurvy
*we laughed so hard..pretty much b/c he's the class idiot*

There's more but I can't think of any right now.

We had a guy last year who recommended oral vancomycin for just about everything.

 

[off2skl]

I know I've heard some pretty good ones, but I can't remember them specifically now. 🙁 I swear some people just like to hear the sound of their voice, because I find it hard to believe that they got into pharmacy school and can be so stupid sometimes.


I remember when we were studying the reproductive systems, one of the girls said something like, "so the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube????" My friend and I just looked at each other in amazement.

Comedy gold! 😀

One of our students didn't know what does word "coalition" mean..

Me on IM: "my power went out last night"
My mom: "Is it back on yet?"

🙄 🙄 🙄

Dammit...I said Barlow's disease not scurvy. Everyone knows that scurvy is caused by too much potassium.

Well...you could have been on a computer at the library.

I have no class on Saturday and live 70 miles off campus. Way to give my mom the benefit of the doubt, though. 😀

During med chem class...

"What does 'union-ized' mean?" (as opposed to un-ionized)

lol--that happened in my chem class too

OMG! That is hilarious! I would have fell out of my chair laughing if I had heard someone say that. 😱

Tell me that you do not commute that far to school....

 

[imperial frog]

For most of my undergrad I had to commute about 90 miles each way. Lots of time to study...except at night coming home because it's harder to drive and read in the dark.

 

[off2skl]

And I thought my 35 mile commute was a pain. Only 1 more year of driving 🙂

 

[bananaface]

Tell me that you do not commute that far to school....

Yeah. My roomate and I take turns driving halfway, then we take a bus.

What I hate is when someone interrupts the flow of the professor and asks: "Do we need to know that for the exam?" What, is this high school? It drives me nuts, and there is one girl in my class who does this all the frickin' time.

I know her.

I know her.

She's in my class, too.

I wish "she" was in our class... If the professors actually give her an answer, it would certain help with studying.

So...I was at the APhA-sponsored Pharmacy-based Immunization Delivery course yesterday. All. Frickin'. Day. Long. Anyhoo...

One of the instructors was talking about the influenza vaccine when a student had a question. The following is a paraphrase of the conversation that occurred.

Instructor: "Influenza vaccines are produced in hen eggs, so patients with previous anaphylactic reactions to eggs should not be given this vaccination. Also, the youngest age for which the vaccine can be administered to a person is 6 months."

Student: "So how would you test to see if a 6 month old had an egg allergy? Could you do a skin test and, like, scramble an egg and put it on the baby?"

 

[pharmaz88]

Could you do a skin test and, like, scramble an egg and put it on the baby?"

LOL Awesome!!

 

[ultracet]

ok so this isn't a question but....

we had detrol LA people come in and discuss with us overactive bladder (OAB)
he had several things to say.... He was an OB/GYN from ATL. i wrote most of them down but don't have that list on me right now but i remember a few...

"the bladder is a very complex organism"

the audience was the DIC director, the two rphs that work in the DIC, and their rotation students
"looking at trials and fussing over those details can be fun if you're into that kind of stuff but its really not necessary"

 

[dinesh]

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Let me add to this:
Professor : So you now end up with 3 layers, the ectoderm , the mesoderm and the endoderm

Student : So there are 3 layers?

Prof : I would allow you to retract that question and speak to your collegues after 🙂

I was asked this week: "Do you want chicken or turkey for Thanksgiving?" This was following some mention by my mom of how she was making sweet potatoes because she was "a traditionalist".

Then, there was the time when I told her I was getting married and she said "You aren't pregnant are you? You know you don't have to get married just because you're pregnant?" No ****, mom. 🙄 (Oh yeah, and I wasn't pregnant.)

I called my Mom last week and said "Mom, I have a problem........." To which she interrupted, "Are you pregnant??? If you are you can tell me." I was just going to let her know about a school issue. Man, it was almost as if she was ready to raise her unborn grandchild herself. 😕
SO, I'm not pregnant either, but I'm starting to believe that it would be alright with my Mom if I was. I wonder if she wants me to go to school or breed???

Student: "Is it true that incontinence can be caused by excessive masturbation?"

Prof: <3 second pause> "...no just blindness."

 

[trinnieoh]

lol crying moo, how inappropriate.

In a math class
<student>: Um, I got that answer but I did it a different way.

<teacher>: *looks at the paper* Thats great, but thats not how you multiply.

<student>: Well it turned out right!!!!

<teacher>: Do you have a younger brother or sister?

<student>: *says nothing*

<teacher>: because I think you need to get with them, so they can explain to you how to cross multiply.

It was so funny because the kid got really mad and they had an in-class fight and he got kicked out of the class for the day.

I've got another one. One of our professors was drawing a receptor on the overhead to illustrate a point in the notes. He wrote "FYI" right by it. A student raised his hand and asked, "What's an FYI receptor?" The professor just gave him this look that was like "DUH!" and then told him it meant it was "for your information" and not on the exam. LOL.

Sorta related to topic...

me: "Yup, it's done and ready to go."

pt. on phone: "Is it done?"

🙄

If I were the prof I would have told him to go look it up and get back to me. 😛

argh.. I made a stupid question..

Tuesday I processed a Viagra Rx, and I got the following insurance reject which I haven't seen before:

DUR REJECT

REASON: ORAL SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION MEDS NOT COVERED

and I ask out loud: "What the heck is oral sex dysfunction??" 😕


And also: while filling that Rx we ran out of of Viagra 50mg! I asked the pharmacist if we were getting some in the truck that night, so he went to check his report. "We're getting ... three, no FIVE bottles tonight-" and he starts cracking up: written on the report next to Viagra: "seasonal lift item"
