In the ER, when you hear an incoming paramedic unit give report on the phone/radio and the paramedic is barely able to reframe from laughing—something is up. Patient arrives via ambulance with a complaint of being 7 ˝ years pregnant. Our pregnancy test is negative. Her response is, “they’re always negative.” Have you seen your doctor(s) for this and have they found a pregnancy? “No, they don’t believe me.” What do you do then? “I sue them.”
Pelvic examination shows a non-parous os, without any secondary signs of pregnancy and no bleeding. Her response, “that’s because the baby is wrapped in plastic.” No pregnancy was found and patient was discharged with an impression of pseudocyesis. A month later, at a cost of $10, she files a lawsuit. Several months later, after many hours and thousands of dollars, the case is dismissed on a general demurrer.

In one of a few stays at a hospital there was this lady who thought she was pregnant as well. She would stand up and say shit like, "I have to go deliver my baby now" and go to her room and you could hear her yelling about whatever. Then she would come back and do the same thing or talk about her twins she just had. It was fucking disturbing
The staff would simply say, "Okay!" in that okay have fun tone.

He figured he would let me keep the computer inside the cage. He is so wonderful.
Actually, getting laid off kind of threw off my interwebing. Work hours were just the best time for that.
