Funny how similar "eighty to ninety" and "eighty-two ninety" sound.
I think you're exactly right about what was said.
LOL!!!!
Eighty to Ninety maybe?? I really hope otherwise that person might be close to exploding....

That's a transcriptionist who wasn't thinking while listening. Or speech rec, which has no brain at all.
Yeah, that looks like a transcribing error more than a typo.
There needs to be some sort of lab value spell check.
doc is slow multiplying by four.
@Anonymous at 2:30: You're right; all the hallmarks of a Speech Wreck that went un-proofed.
@Rotating Intern--There is indeed a lab value spell checker: A competent and experienced editor/transcriptionist.
(As long as docs appear to think it's okay to let crap like this go on patients' charts without being proofed--because, after all, the vendor told them the software was 99.9 percent accurate--I'm gonna offer these gentle reminders that it just ain't so. It's kind of like having a free Risk Management consultant. Heh).
@Horse on a Mattress - well, never have been a transcriptionist, I didn't want to be rude - but I completely agree with you.
Bit tachy eh?
Grumpy,
You're a neurologist. Why are you concerned with the patient's pulse? I thought the heart only exists to pump blood to the brain, spinal cord and the synapses.
And the heart sounds a lot like a drum roll.
