Found this in a hospital chart today:
"She has dementia and osteomyelitis in her right foot."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
"She has dementia and osteomyelitis in her right foot."
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.

How convenient that she's been able to limit her dementia to her foot. I wish I could teach that trick to all my patients.
Hm.... maybe THAT'S why I've been so clumsy lately.
Multi-Infoot dementia
I hope that somewhere that is in a transcriptionist's blooper file. I have similar things in mine. Lots of similar things.

One of these days I must get an open id
When I read this the first thing that popped into my head was the chess scene from Blazing Saddles. "Yeah, but I shoot with this hand!"
This is a funny blog! Married to a resident so def can relate Dr. Grumpy :)
"I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith."
"Really? What's the name of his other leg?"
Oh no does this mean Ive failed my clinnical dementia essay, I wrote about it being in the brain :S
What, nobody's made a crack about "the right foot doesn't know what the left foot is doing"?
And nobody said, "Open chart, insert foot."
But I did.
If there can be "Happy Feet", why not "Dementia Feet"?
Someone should anonymously slip that person a copy of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves."
Maybe that's what Davy Crockett had in his third ear? You know, he had the left ear, the right ear and the wild front ear...
"Unfortunately, the ceftazadime has been ineffective at keeping the dementia at bay in her foot"
Does that mean she needs a podiatrist instead of a neurologist?
Is that her excuse for not dancing--she has a stupid foot?
"Let's eat Grandma!" Punctuation saves lives people! Unfortunately the grandma burger is becoming more popular...
If I ever get dementia, that's where I want to get it. If it starts to spread, I can always get my right leg amputated below the knee.
I love your posts AND the comments. It multiplies the hilarity.
hahahahaha that is so funny!
