More fun stories:

"20 y/o who became intoxicated with alcohol, ran into the street and fell into the bushes. He now complains of right knee and ankle pain." Just another example of how ridiculous people are when they get liquored up.

"33 y/o woman who presented with nausea and vomiting. She was also wondering why she has been so emotional lately." While looking at the patient's gallstones, the sonographer noted something moving in her abdomen. On further investigation, that something had a heartbeat! As it turns out, she is 33 weeks pregnant. It was unclear why this was such a surprise to the patient, as she already has four kids and therefore presumably knows what it is like to be with child.

"20 y/o man who punched a refrigerator. He presented the next day complaining of pain in the right hand." The following radiograph shows the classic "boxer's fracture" suffered by those who punch without being very good at punching, and therefore hit with the knuckle of the small finger instead of the index and ring fingers. Can you see the fracture?
