Thank you for your recent letter on my patient's progress.
I noticed that instead of writing out "exercise" your therapist used the abbreviation "ex's". It took me a minute to catch this, but it was pretty easy to figure out when I saw it used in phrases such as "strength ex's", "coordination ex's" and "home ex's program".
However, there was one part of your note where it gave me pause.
In the "treatment plan" it said "She'll be building up her arm strength using her ex's balls."
I hope (for her ex's sake) you still meant "exercise"...
EXcellent! :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe that was on purpose? Either way, good fun for you and us.
It depends on the ex . . .
ReplyDeleteIf hubby ever tried to divorce me...
ReplyDeleteToo funny, Dr. G.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, The Mother. Although after what husband just said re how he'd feel if more permanently rid of me, I may not wait.
Now where's my garden lopper?
Yep, I'm 12. Bwhahahaha
ReplyDeleteIn which case it didn't need the grocer's apostrophe as it would be exercise balls.
ReplyDeletewv dynomi must be my grandaughter Naomi - she never stops!
LOL!!! I hope he also told her to f/u after she'd worked with them for a while.
ReplyDeleteIf that's not the case, someone might want to call the Guiness Book of World Records...
ReplyDeletedon't ya just love non-standard abbrevations
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a guy who abbreviated often-used terminology in client charts. "Nutrition" became "nutrit.", as in "Good nutrit." meaning the client ate well that day. He took it a bit too far and finally I had to break it to him that one cannot write "good nut.," "poor nut.," or "bad nut." in the progress notes of one's mentally ill clients...
ReplyDeleteThat was hysterical! I love your blog!
ReplyDelete.......OK, I guess the efficacy would depend on the size, weight and tactile quality. Then we can definitively prescribe the appropriate ex's.........
ReplyDeleteHas her ex consented to this?
ReplyDeletei wouldn't play with my ex's balls for any amount of therapy
