drink

So there is an elderly gentleman who was in an automobile vs pedestrian. He has tenderness around his 9th rib on his flank so we order an abdominal CT with contrast.

Slight problem. He doesn't want to drink the po contrast after trying it out and the nurse in the room refuses to encourage him. So every few minutes I had to go by, encourage him to drink, watch the unhelpful nurse smirk, and listen to him yell at me about how he won't drink anymore.
