I've heard about it, but I didn't know that it existed, until the other day.
4AM - working on my couple hours of sleep before rounds - pager goes off...
"Doctor, Mr. So and So's Labs are back"
Na=140
K=4.0
Cr=1.1
BUN=22
Me (To myself) = What the hell is going on? Is this a dream? Is this nurse reading lab values or a textbook? What did I do to piss this person off?
(To Nurse)=Well, those lab values sound excellent. I don't think we'll need to do anything at this point. Thanks for calling...
We even have a replacement protocol to keep that from happening. Not sure if this person was having a bad night or what...I've heard the old adage piss off a nurse and they'll call you for ridiculous stuff.
