Today, we had a patient with very inappropriate attitude. He was there for varicose vein scan. He came in wheel chair. I think he was mentally unstable as he kept talking to himself and kept apologizing.
The moment I saw him, I noticed something was different. Hmm....Oh, his left hand! His left hand was inside his pants! He was rubbing or scratching his private part with his left hand. I accidentally saw it and quickly turned away my head. I thought i was the only one noticed thus I didn't say anything. I quickly go and check if he was my patient. I was very relieved when I didn't see my name appeared in his request form.
Slowly, everyone in the lab started to notice the inappropriate attitude. When it was his turn to be scanned, we overheard him kept apologizing to the sonographer, "Sorry mixi (mixi stands for nurse among Chinese), sorry mixi, please save me, please save me," before a long moment of silence took place. At the end of the day, we only realized that whenever he wanted put his hand into the pants, the sonographer moderately hit his hand with a ruler!
Oh FYI, the ruler was already there for a reason. Every cubicle has a ruler for us to measure distant of occlussion or severe stenosis from groin/knee/arm crease, etc. And NO, the ruler was not there for the hitting purposes.
