So, see, there's this running thing in our group about the ER labeling our patients with a chief complaint of "psych" or "psych eval" (which invariably translates on the phone to, "I've got one for you!"). Check out the complaint three lines above my patient.Not "neuro eval"?
::sigh:: Somehow I think this may be a commentary on how our patients are treated...

What if you want a psych eval just for curiosity's sake? (To see what they would say about you).
poor circulation in left foot.... Does that really require an ER visit? If so I should head out now, mine has been asleep for 10 min!
D - Uh, they'd say, "get the heck out of the ER!"
(You're always welcome to come to the clinic for these things, ps.)
A - just start yelling, "Wake up! Wake up!" at your foot, it'll be fine. Unless, of course, you're in public, in which case you'll end up coming in for a psych eval...
Oh, shit, it's the ER? Well never mind then, I guess. Would they really see someone who wanted a psych eval just for the hell of it? That's cool, for the next time I just want to piss $200.
