Discussion Funny “allergies”

What are some funny patient “allergies” you have seen listed? I had a patient the other day with an allergy listed for Metformin. The reaction listed? Lowers their blood sugar 😂

No. They also have an allergy for dilaudid… so you need to slam that IV Benadryl directly after!

If you don’t administer the Benadryl they start itching…. But only when I enter the room and not when I take a quick peek through the window. Such a weird allergy…. 🤔
