In all my years working in healthcare you'd think that I would have seen everything. But no, I'm still constantly surprised by the odd people out there.
The other day I had a patient whose first name was Cellophane. Yep. Cellophane. What the hell were her parents thinking?
Today I had a patient, a young man about 47 years old, who had throat cancer. He'd stopped taking his cancer meds because he was having drug interference and it was making him sick. What was the cancer drugs interfering with you ask?
The cocaine, and pint of gin that he has every day.
Of the three, it was the cancer meds he stopped? Seriously?
I don't know why I'm surprised.

Yep, sounds about right.
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
"Celophane" is clearly out of order in the name department.
Sorry, couldn't be helped.
Now, was her name pronounced "cellophane" or was it something like Chell-oh-fain-ee?

Cellophane. Brilliant. That's better than the politician Ed Balls I've been laughing at all week.
unbelievable to both!
