practitioners<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>&ldquo;A woman came in for a baby check with her 6-month-old and she had what looked like chocolate milk in the baby\u2019s bottle. So he started explaining to her as kindly as he could that she shouldn\u2019t be giving her baby chocolate milk. At which point she interrupts him and says, \u2018Oh that isn\u2019t chocolate milk. It\u2019s coffee! He just loves it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I had a patient come in for an STD check. She was very upset and continued to tell me that she only had one partner. Progressing through my assessment, she further divulged that even if he was sleeping with other people it shouldn\u2019t matter \u2018because he uses a condom every time and he makes sure to wash it thoroughly after every use\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Had a lady who measured her baby\u2019s temperature by pre-heating the oven and putting one hand in front of it while the other hand was on the baby\u2019s forehead. She told the nurse her baby\u2019s fever was about 250 degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Lady has to have foot amputated and is given waiver forms to sign pre-op. Buddy asks if she needs time to think about it. She\u2019s very nonchalant and doesn\u2019t seem to care much what they do. He gets suspicious and probes a bit as to why she\u2019s not more concerned. She says she gets that they have to operate and it\u2019s OK because the foot will grow back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I had a couple who had been trying to conceive for over two years. I asked all the usual questions, how often do you have sex, any previous pregnancy, etc etc. Something seemed off to me during the consult, so I continued to ask questions. Finally I asked if he ejaculated while inserted into the vagina. Both parties looked confused.Turns out the couple was not having insertional sex at all. I had to awkwardly explain to them how insertional sex works. Diagrams were required.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Patient comes in, she\u2019s upset. She\u2019s pregnant, and she doesn\u2019t understand why. She\u2019s on the pill. Upon talking to her at great length, I find out that she only takes the pills\u00a0<em>on the days that she is sexually active<\/em> \u2013 no other time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Patient comes in with her bf. They are indignant, as if somehow I could\u2019ve prevented [the pregnancy]. The problem? Well, the pills were bothering the girl\u2019s stomach, so, being a gallant bf, he decided to start taking them instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was explaining the treatment to the husband of a patient about to be discharged. He kept nodding and agreeing with me, but I knew it was flying over his head. Turned out a fundamental problem was that I was describing the drugs as \u2018tablets\u2019 and he had no clue what those were.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/comments\/27p6z3\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit thread<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anecdotes by medical practitioners &ldquo;A woman came in for a baby check with her 6-month-old and she had what looked like chocolate milk in the baby\u2019s bottle.
