Lithium Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I'm going with psych emergency. Bingo! Male patient with suicidal ideations ... Either that or drowning. I wonder if they'll be using fresh or salt water ... hmmmmmmmm peace
Arachne Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 It's too bad that "stupidity" is not considered an acceptable chief complaint. It is, after all, the underlying problem for many of our patients. Perhaps "hypoxia p/ near drowning"? "respiratory complications p/ water accident"?
