Dumb things I've heard (or heard about) residents saying

1. I don't know. How do you think I should treat him (her)?

2. Those nurses don't like me because I'm smarter than them.

3. That's not my patient. Is that my patient? Wait, who are we talking about?

4. Nurse: Doctor, Mr. Smith's potassium is low. Would you like me to hold his Lasix?
Resident: Huh? Mr. Smith isn't on any potassium....



Sigh.
