TSK: A little blood goes a long way

Nurse Cranquis: Oh my god, Dr. Cranquis, you should go see the bloody mess in room 3.
Cranquis: Oh, you mean from the guy with the nosebleed that was here earlier?
Nurse: Yes! You know when he first walked in, he was just dripping blood everywhere, so I handed him an emesis basin and he blew his nose into it, and this huge clot came out!
Cranquis: Yeah, those nose-clots can look pretty big.
Nurse: No, this was humongous. It was like he blew a placenta out of his nose!
Cranquis: Ok, maybe we're getting a bit carried away here.

Medically-Correct Nursery Rhymes: Humpty-Dumpty

Rachel Marie Merritt cranquis: Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men Couldn’t put Humpty-Dumpty together again. Probably because horses make lousy surgeons, due to their faulty fine-motor skills and lack of opposable thumbs. Plus the King’s men had never heard of a sentient egg, so they must’ve assumed that the gelatinous...

– Who knew China was tribal? The diversification of Chinese society has seen a flowering of a new vocabulary. Perhaps most fascinating has been the division of people into tribes (zu in Mandarin). (via theeconomist)

“America spends five times as much on defence as China does, and even though...”

– Rachel Marie Merritt While America still tops a few league tables, the year when the Chinese economy will truly eclipse America’s is in sight. It would be a mistake for American leaders to try to block China’s rise—it is better to be number two in a fast-growing world than top dog in a stagnant...

 Rachel Marie Merritt
Cranquis: Ok, let me try asking the same question in a different way -- Is there any part of your body that DOESN'T hurt today?
17-year-old female patient: NO EVERYTHING HURTS AND I'M JUST TIRED AND I FEEL LIKE S--- AND THIS SUCKS.
Cranquis: Okey dokey. (Does physical exam, determines a sinus infection and bronchitis). I'll be putting you on some antibiotics and cough medicine, and I think you should stay home from school today and tomorrow.
Patient: I WANT TO BE OFF ON THURSDAY TOO, SINCE IT'S JUST A HALF-DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK AND I'M JUST TOO TIRED TO GET OUT OF BED.
Cranquis: But of course. (A bit of paperwork and prescriptions, and the patient is discharged). Ok, I hope you get well soon, bye-bye.
Patient: YEAH YEAH. (Patient goes into waiting area, starts yelling at her mom without realizing that I can totally still hear her) COME ON MOM, LET'S GO GET SOME TACO BELL!
Cranquis: Ah, the satisfaction of curing the ill.

I’m pretty sure my transcriptionists must hate me, because I don’t always manage to pull the handset away (or hit the “Pause” button) before bellowing into their ears. My self-diagnosis: I’m...
