Multiple Choice Questionaire

OK, quick multiple choice test. Answer tomorrow.

An Elderly Lady presented with a fall and fractured wrist which happened while she was “Chasing after her husband”. Which choice correctly describes the circumstances of this situation:

1. She was chasing him with a frying pan after discovering him to have had a Tiger Woods-style harmem of girlfriends

2. They were having a bit of role playing prior to sex and she was a “cop” and he was a “robber”

3. He was demented and after getting out of the house, was heading down the street into traffic

4. A diehard Repulican, she was upset that husband expressed support in the “public option”

5. He startled her out of sleep with a “dick tag”

    What, no “all of the above” ? :)

    I pick #3 but I hope for her sake it was #2.

    Dick tag? Don’t mix your personal fantasies with your blogging!

    Number one.

    And Nurse K, did you o back on hiatus, or am I just banned from your blog? I just got done spending a month in the hospital (Necrotizing Fasciitis hurts, BTW) and went to visit your site, but was stopped at the door by the blogger bouncers. Did I finally succeed in pissing you off to the point of banning?

    No Mongo Lloyd, her blog is down for an indefinite time. No one can get in. :-(

    Thanks, Dr. ERP!

    I go for #3 but it would be hilarious if it was #1

    I want to know what Dr. Grumpy thinks is the right answer….

    Dr. Grumpy would think the husband had taken the old lady’s Diet Coke and she was chasing him down to get it back.

    Clearly, the old lady needs to learn to stash extra Diet Coke around for these situations.

    I dunno! I feel like this was a # 2 but what do I know?? LOL

    Must be dick tag, otherwise there wouldn’t be a definition…

    Andrew Wiggin on December 16th, 2009

    In MY practice it would be #3.

    Dr. Grumpy on December 16th, 2009

    Adn I’m so flattered so many want to know what I think!

    Dr. Grumpy on December 16th, 2009

    It was number 3 (Good job Dr Grumpy!). Although when we read the triage complaint in the Dr’s charting area, all the other options were bantered around as possibilities!

    ERP on December 16th, 2009

    Has to be number 3. If it’s number 5, I’m gonna throw up! LOL Part of me does hope it’s number 2, though!

    The only reason I don’t wander off into traffic, like that (#3), is that I don’t have a wife who would stop me. ;-)

    OTOH, 3 is the same key as the pound sign (#), so clearly this is some kind of conspiracy. It seems that I have uncovered your Skull and Bones/illuminati/Jewish/KKK/jihadist/Papist/fluoridation/moon landing conspiracy. MwaHaHaHaHa!

    Feel sure it’s #3, but maybe because he WOULDN’T play dick tag?

    Around my house “dick tag” is known as “sharking” (via http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1397)
