Stupid Reasons Why People Rushed To The Emergency Room

#1 Why Am I Bleeding??

How did this girl go all her life without knowing she would soon start her menstral cycle?! Did her mom not feel it was important to maybe warn her? "Their daughter's first period. Wayyyy more often than you would hope, we have mothers bring their young daughters in with complaints of 'abdominal pain and blood in urine'....didn't you go through the exact same thing yourself at one point?" a nurse revealed.

#2 Imaginary Poop Problems

"One of the most common worries of patients during my family practice rotation in med school: having to poop soon after they ate."

#3 She Panicked Because Of Bumps...

"Had a patient come in because she was concerned about bumps on her tongue. Did my history, went to examine, diagnosis: taste buds."

#4 I'm Having A Heart Attack

"Arrived on the scene, guy says he thinks he is having a heart attack because his left arm is hurting. Vitals all looked great. He was sore from exercising at the gym. He actually said, 'Yeah but my left arm hurts worse than my right arm.' To which the paramedic (basically my boss) was like 'Well did you work your left arm more than your right at the gym?'

'Uhh, actually yeah.'

'Well that's probably why.'

"2nd day on the job. As we were leaving he was like, 'Yeah we get a lot of bulls--t like this. And half the time it's right when you're trying to eat dinner."

#5 The Ebola Scare

"The reasons: 'I cleaned up a dead bird in my yard,' 'There was an African guy' on the bus 'coughing and hacking and contaminating everything,' 'I was at an airport Thursday,' 'I just know I have it.' There were no documented cases in Michigan."

#6 The Condom Broke!

"This couple kinda tickles me... they walked into EMD at 2:00 a.m. The wife appears to be in slight distress, was crying, hyperventilating and hair was messed up. Finally, at triage, they told their nurse "My wife is worried [because] our condom broke."

#7 My Vagina Looks Weird

"Woman came into the ER one time saying something was falling out of her vagina. Doctor did a pelvic exam, the whole deal. Turns out she was just so fat she hadn't seen her vagina in a long, long time...It was her labia."
