15 May 25 Doctors And Nurses Share Sinister Last Words They Heard Before A Patients Death

You’d imagine someone in the medical profession being completely fearless. After all, they see blood and guts all the time. However, when you’re dealing with death, things tend to get creepy.

A Reddit thread tackling just this has sparked some seriously eerie stories. The question posed was: “Doctors & Nurses of Reddit, what were the creepiest last words you heard from a patient right before they died?” Below we have the very best and scariest stories of them all. Be warned, you might need a nightlight tonight.

“I work in a cardiac ICU. We had a patient who had a pulmonary artery rupture (a rare, but known complication of a Swan-Ganz catheter).

One minute he was joking around with us and the next bright red blood was spewing out of his mouth. His last words before he died were ‘why is this happening to me?’

It still haunts me years later.”

2. abbztract

“I’m a nurse and was previously working at an assisted living community on the dementia/Alzheimer’s unit.

My very favorite patient had been declining pretty steadily so I was checking on him very frequently. We would have long chats and joke around with each other, but in the last two weeks of his life, he stopped talking completely and didn’t really acknowledge conversation directed at him at all.

I finished my medication rounds for the evening and went to see him before I left. I told him I was leaving for the night and that I’d see him the following day, and he looked me in the eyes and smiled SO genuinely and said, ‘You look like an angel.’ I thought it was so sweet because he had not seemed lucid in weeks.

He died the next morning. It really messed with me.”

“‘But I don’t know how to get there…’ Grandpa in hospice. Hadn’t spoken in days. Died about two hours later.”

“‘Get home safe, little one.’ It wasn’t what he said – he said the same thing to me any time I had him as a patient for the evening. It was how he said it. He gave me this look and pause like he knew. The DNR’s in my experience, always know when it’s time. It’s creepy.”

5. Kabc

“Cardiac ICU: Had a gentleman who was DNR on comfort care. He was demented and was cursing like a sailor. He seemed to have moments of clarity and would ask to see his brothers (who were both passed).

After a particularly worrisome heart rhythm, he went back into a Sinus tachycardia and look me in my eyes and said

‘Hey, what’s your name?’
‘Kabc’
‘What do you do here?’
‘I’m a nurse.’ After this, he was quiet for some time… then he said…
‘F*ck you.’

And then he died about 20 minutes later.”
