Had a patient yesterday ask if I could get them a cupcake because they were feeling ‘so much better.’ I thought it was cute until I remembered it was only 9 AM. What’s the funniest request you’ve gotten?
, I can totally relate! It’s always those early morning cravings that catch you off guard. Just last week, I had a patient ask for a full breakfast at 8 AM.
It’s funny how a patient’s cravings can really put our early shifts to the test! I once had someone insist on a five-course meal at 7 AM, like they were prepping for a cozy brunch. Can’t blame them, though — who wouldn’t want a cupcake to kick off the day?
I had a patient ask me for ice cream at 8:30 AM once! 
Ever had anyone insist on something unusual?
