Sounds like he should have gone into radiology
Aspiring lawyer
and the med student reading that note blinks 3 times, shrugs and assumes he means the patient if f----ed.
Too funny. I too was gonna say sounds like a radiologist.... the only thing missing is "please correlate with clinical findings and follow up with additional studies as necessary."
Good Lord, sounds like an overzealous freshman in their first college writing course.
= "Maybe, but probably not."
aspiring politician.
I get dizzy when I go around in circules.
Or, as a surgeon would say...
r/o sz.
Is he getting paid by the word? Why do some people have to be so wordy, and say the same thing over and over.
Diarrhea of the medical record...yuck!
I've read it three times and still don't know what he or she was saying.
Is there any patient you couldn't say that about?
Eh, what was that?
Hearty laughter here from the medical records person, particularly at the contrast between the content of the note in the post and the comment from Anon 4:52 above. I've seen both kinds of notes from providers, and they each have their place, I suppose. Sometimes too much information is as bad as not enough.
Of course, we know it really translates to: "this wacho really isn't having seizures but I don't want to write that he is a nutjob in the chart"
S/he's saying that the ictal event is possible, can't rule it out. But that as of right now, there's not enough data to make a firm ruling on it. I didn't find it hard to understand at all. *sigh* sorry, just drives me nuts.
