Just had a nurse call in asking about Ultrasound scanheads.

Her call:

Nurse: This is Nuse Jane Doe at XXXX Dr.'s office. I was having problems last week with my 12 inch vaginal probe, it had begun vibrating. (at this point I was trying not to laugh.)

Me: Ok, Ma'am, I see the tech has ordered you a new probe, has it arrived yet?

Nurse: Yes it came in this morning. Is there any way to test it out?

Me: Ma'am, I am not aware of any testing you can perform on this probe.

Nurse: Can i test it on myself?

Me: ( At this point, I just about lost it) Ma'm, that is completely up to you if you wish to do that.

Nurse: Well, I just want to make sure that it doesn't vibrate.

Me: (trying not to LMAOWROTF). Ma'am, I am not aware of any diagnostic testing for that situation. I will page your svc technician and have him/her give you a call.

Nurse: Thank you so much, but while I am waiting foe his call, I will just go ahead and test it......

Me: Have a good day ma'am.

Hang up

Me: ROTFLMFAOWPIMP!!!!!!

And you didn't ask her if she needed help in testing it? I would have offered her a hands on demonstration, well if her voice sounds hot anyway.

I work in a medical support center now. and Yes I do get calls for ultrasound units.

I have had some ones that made me laugh, but not as bad as this one. I had to take a 10 minute break to compose myself.

Yes, the 12 inch transducer is used in OB/GYN applications.

Not a crank call. she had a valid serial # for the base unit ultrasound.
