Weird Patient Interaction
Had my final year medicine ward test and got handed a long case of lower respiratory tract infection and a right wrist drop, i asked for consent and touched the right hand just to ensure that there wasnt any swelling, tenderness of the joints, if i was able to move it passively and where exactly the problem lied (i.e. the restriction) and after i did (barely took 40 secs), i went to write abt it in the HOPI and the patient out of the blue said "aap kay haath to itnay naram hain, meray itnay sakht hain" i just smiled awkwardly, and countinued to write and ignored him cause tf? and then after 10 seconds he says "itnay naram hain jesay bachon kay hotay hain" 💀💀💀 mind you, as part of my long station, i still had to do the respiratory examination on him, which would have meant exposure and palpation and percussion (more touching) but after that initial comment from him, i was so weirded out that i skipped all that, just auscultated and luckily the patient's file was on the bed so i just copied that part from there but like wtf bruh 😭😭😭
