I took care of an 8-year-old boy who broke his leg in October and underwent surgical intramedullary nail placement inside his femur for stabilization.  He came back last week for scheduled nail removal.

On admission interview:

Med student: When was the last time you pooped?

Boy: Ewwww!

Med student: Come on now.

Boy: I have always been able to P-O-O-P-O-O. [He spelled it out]

Me: Poopoo?

Boy: I didn't want to say it.

On discharge exam, the Ortho intern removed the ACE wrap around his leg to check the dressing underneath.  There was a splotch of dried blood on the dressing.

Boy [wide-eyed]: What is that?  Is that ketchup?
