April Fools

Yeah so I know that its no longer April 1 which is why this is an April Fool's Post. The shear stupidity of people often amazes me. In the ER last night there were two 20 something people that came in with Boxer's fractures. Then they proceed to give the most ridiculous history for how they came about with these injuries. I wanted to say "come on people that makes no sense" I don't understand why people constantly lie to emergency room physicians. It not like they are going to be judged for what they did. Well lets be honest they will but it really has no bearing on them whatsoever. The only thing they are doing is hurting themselves because given a mechanism of injury we can evaluate the possibility of other injuries that would otherwise be missed. So people, when going to an ER give the whole story and it is only going to benefit you. Don't be stupid people. Tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
