This is from a patient note that another doc faxed to my office this morning. The only things I've whited out listed the patient's pharmacies.

Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Was the patient sent to you for jaw pain?
*snicker*
As a medical transcriptionist, I cringe when I see these EMR entries. WTF? Oral and oral? Um...p.o. perhaps? It doesn't even specify the dosage or frequency!
So, am I to assume that this patient takes oral meds??
Perhaps this is computer-talk for "takes by mouth twice daily?"
I think I have "Allegra Oral and Oral" on DVD.
EMRs are always programmed by people who know nothing about medicine. It's totally counterintuitive. I ended up basically having to re-program the one at my last job because it never printed what the surgeons wanted it to say. If I saw this, though, it'd be way too tempting to program it to say Oral and Anal. ;-)
Nystatin oral and oral? Forgive me if i am mistaken, but isn't that a "swish and swallow" med? (Or mouthwash type med?) And you take it........orally? Opposed to rectally? *scratching head*
Wow...there's a whole lotta oral going on in that office....
I read "oral" so many times in that entry that I think I need to take a shower. Don't ask.
This is obviously the medication list for Zaphod Beeblebrox.
re: MomNurseWife ... i can't resist: the programmer must have an oral fixation. ;-P
What if it said "anal and oral"? Just curious...
Where can -i- get a perscription for that much oral?
If she's got candida, then take her off the ruddy Pill!
