Ha. I work in a doctors office (not neuro, worse, with sinus patients) and we have patients fill out a general health questionair when they come in. There is a section about family history and a place to list your parents age if alive and a seperate one if they are deceased. Typically, patients only fill out one box or the other, but a recent one filled in her parents age in the first box, and then wrote "don't know yet" in the other one.
Ginger, those forms are just begging for self expression. Under "Sex" I usually write: "Sure, your place or mine?" Being a geezer I often get away with it.
@Anon- Yes, I get lots of "jokes" written in as well, but they are never as funny as the unintentional errors patients write. My all time favorite was a man who wrote under "History of present illness" that he had had "multiple autopsies".
I plan on living, no I mean really living , until I die.

ReplyDeletethat's a very common inherited illness.
ReplyDeleteSo death is basically what killed them?
ReplyDeleteYou can't argue with that.

Anon 8:17: Perfect answer! Because if the form were correctly worded to ask for gender, you couldn't get away with that answer.
