Abdominal Pain

-Can you tell me what brought you to the ER today?



-The ambulance.



-Why did you call them?



-My stomach hurts. I came to the hospital yesterday for my tooth pain and ya'all gave me these pills. I took one an hour ago and now my stomach hurts.



-Have you had anything to eat today?



-Just candy and that pill. Your pill made my stomach hurt.





Just a little background to this story...the EMS personal had to wait on this patient to take her to the ER so she could finish heating up her BBQ sandwich at Quicktrip a block up the road. Which during my interview was half eaten in her purse. But it was the pill that made her stomach hurt.
