I remember a kid at school was sent to the nurse’s office because his hand was turning dark purple and she correctly diagnosed him as having his wristwatch on too tight

I took my ex to the ER because he was in tears from abdominal pains. He wouldn’t go on his own because he was “afraid they’re going to find something seriously wrong with [him].”
There was, he needed more fiber in his diet because his poop was all stopped up. pic.twitter.com/LFIEzoqK0U

When I was an infant, there was apparently a medium sized brown birthmark on my head. My mom thought it was new so she didn’t wash that area before she took me to the docs.
It was chocolate.

One time, my younger brother dragged my mom to the ER in the middle of the night because he was convinced his throat was closing. Turned out he choked on his saliva while he was sleeping

Okay. So. The other day one of my kids “let me know” they were covered in hives/a rash. It didn’t look like measles. And we’ve had all our shots. But. Like. wtf. So I took him to the doctor immediately. Turns out he’s allergic to cold weather and he needed a warm shower.

I once went to the college emergency nurse as my tongue was like a WEIRD red color when I woke up in the morning.
After assuring them repeatedly I never had oral sex…awkward….we realized I had eaten chalky Pepto Bismal before bed and it had stayed on my tongue all night. https://t.co/v28Nl7ZHtr

This trumps me phoning NHS 24 when I was a student because I was throwing up black vomit and Web MD said it was stomach cancer.
Nurse: “And what were you drinking last night?”
Me: “Vodka coke”
Nurse: “that’s why it’s black…” https://t.co/MbWDoB6Kbr

My sister took out her contact lens because it was blurry and exclaimed “I can see without contacts! It’s a miracle!”
She’d had two lenses on one eye (hence the blurriness) and had taken off one, leaving her with the correct Rx.

My mom once freaked out our whole family because she thought she was having a stroke because she couldnt see even when she put her glasses on. Fast forward to the ER turns out she had put on someone else’s glasses. https://t.co/BBgCGenNGP
