Come check this out!

In certain professions there are things that should not be said such as "oops" at a dentist. As paramedics, when we find something out of the ordinary we want others to see it as well. Today our patient had some chest pain and in the process of checking him out it was discovered that he had very interesting lung sounds in the base of his left lung. Immediately the paramedic that discovered this said to my partner and me, "Hey, come check this out." I realize looking back that that is probably not what a patient would like to hear from their paramedic.
