As proven by the last hospital I worked at. A patient labled this way came in in pre-term labor and no one paid any attention to her she ended up preciping a 30 week infant breech.<br/>The infant was transported to the nearest NICU and has many major medical problems. We as nurses need to quit labling and care for our patients. This term can be detrimental to patient care. As proven by the last hospital I worked at.

Anytime the New York Yankees are in the playoffs, he goes to the ER, tells them he has a history of DVT, his leg hurts, and he gets himself admitted for a week of Heparin, free television and 3 meals a day. After a week someone usually figures out his scam. “they enjoy the health and life-threatening roundabout of continual admission, treatment and discharge.”
