How do nurses and doctors keep people from lying about their medical history?

They use the de-FIB-rillator. Works every time.

The nurse called me and said, “Under ‘medical history’, we were hoping for something specific to you...”

You wrote down “Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928.”

My dad got checked into the hospital for surgery today.

The nurse began getting my dad's medical history. This is a small excerpt from the middle of the history. Nurse: "Do you have any implants or anything we should know about?" Dad: "The dentist put in a crown last week." Nurse: "Where is the crown?" Dad: "In my mouth!"
