Boring patients...
...I tire of certain types of patients I get in my ambulance (the ones that when you ask "Do you have any allergies?" will always reply "Yeah, women”) and so I take great secret pleasure in asking them a totally irrelevant but supposedly medical question – slipped in the middle of actually relevant questions.
A good example would be “So, do you have any history of asthma, epilepsy, bukkake or diabetes?” If they ask you “What’s that then?” you simply reply “Oh don’t worry, if you have had it you would know about it” and then get distracted by the heart monitor or something so that they can’t press you on the matter.

Although originally a purely private pleasure, I got sprung by a colleague recently who decided we should develop our very own “Question Of The Week”.

This week’s task involves slipping the word Gerontophilia into the questioning process.
(Gerontophilia = sexual attraction to old people.)
