I had a patient last week ask if I could help them ‘unbake’ a potato because it was too hot; it cracked me up! Does anyone else have ridiculous requests from patients that left you wondering how to respond?
I’ve definitely had patients ask for some wild things! Just last week, someone wanted their blanket adjusted because it was ‘too woolly.’ It’s always good to keep a sense of humor — maybe even suggest they try a lighter one instead. What’s the craziest follow-up you’ve had with that potato request?
Isn’t it wild how patients can come up with the most unexpected requests? I once had someone ask for a ‘warm hug’ instead of a warm blanket! What’s the strangest thing you’ve had to do lately, @heron?
