More good stories

"32-yr old man who went out to dinner with his friend. After dinner, during an argument about who would pay the bill, the friend stabbed the patient in the chest with a steak knife. In an ironic twist, neither of them wound up paying due to the arrival of police and paramedics. (Incidentally, patient's blood alcohol level was 0.400 at the time he arrived at the hospital.)"

"28-yr old man who became depressed, drank some alcohol, then jumped off the roof of a gas station."

"46-yr old woman who lost consciousness when her boyfriend assaulted her, punching her in the face. She awoke to find her house on fire and a bystander dragging her from the blaze."

"29-yr old man who presented - incidentally, on the night of his birthday - immediately after being shot in the abdomen."

Yup, those are my patients!
