Four-Fer?!?
This from a twitter-follower @em_ilicious.
All ER staff dread “two-fers” – when two pts, usually two children with the same chief complaint are placed in the same room. It sucks because whoever pics up one chart, has to see the other one too. Painful.
Well, here’s the even more epically painful. The “Four-Fer”!!!

I’m staring at a six-fer on our tracking board right now. Bedbugs.

BEDBUGS?! Omygoodness. What are you guys supposed to do for that??

Frontline Plus? Oh wait, yeah, humans. I never understood why people are supposed to use the much MORE toxic pyrethrins and crap to get rid of head lice and treat their house for bedbugs when the dogs and cats get the safe and effective stuff.

I’m a med student and on my pediatrics rotation I spent a week in the local community health clinic. We regularly had two, three and four-fers. We had one lady who brought in her 6 foster kids all with completely different complaints and some of them had some very complicated medical history. That gets really hard to keep straight to present to the attending…

Emerg Doc in Canada here, fee for service payment system. I love the 2-fer it’s the easiest money I make. My greatest was a 7-fer, 7 people in a van had a trivial MVA and although they all told me they had no injuries they wanted to be checked out. They all checked out chequed out and I bought a round of pizza for the dept with the winnings!
