Librarians always say they should write down some of the wacky questions and requests they receive. Well, here's our little place to do just that! Share your dumbest requests here or just sit back and enjoy the stupidity of others.

An elderly woman came in the other night and asked me to help her find out how to do a wheatgrass or chlorophyll enema. Of course, handing out medical information of any sort is tricky so you always have to qualify the things you get off the internet by saying, "This isn't a recommended site" or some such. You wouldn't believe the stuff out their for home 'remedies'! It's scary.
Apparently she's been doing coffee enemas for years. I thought that was just for celebrities?!

So tell us. How many things do you enemy yourself with? Enemy. Funny. I meant enema, obviously. The funniest moment I had as a doctor was one evening late a woman came into my office and said, "I can't do this" while raising her arm above her head. I said, "You're doing it." She looked up, said "OH!" in a surprised voice, and left.

A very dumpy woman came up to me and said, "I'm in nursing school. Do you have a book "Nursing for Dummies"? This doesn't give me much faith in the future of the nursing profession. Then I gave her a few books on lung diseases for her homework assignment and she turned to me and said, "How long can I have these ones out?" Yikes!
