A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
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.

Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.

LIVES large.
This is'nt, by chance, referring to the same person earlier who was kicked out of hospice is it for not dying?
Ha! Thanks, good belly laugh with this one :)

I think you are afflicted with Hyper Observational Disorder, which is an extremely rare diagnosis in this day and age, it is characterized by being overly attentive that which is going on around oneself, a heightened sense of awareness to environment and is only cured when you recognize the need to stop paying attention along with the remainder of the human race.
Found in a PCI chart today
PROCEDURE PERFORMED:
5. Plain old balloon angioplasty of the right posterolateral branch artery.
*LOL*
In other words, he has a life.
I suppose this is in an electronic charting system which has a lot of built-in boilerplate fields. It's understandable that a medical professional would want to speed through the tedious parts and concentrate on the substantive parts.
In paper charting days, I once had a physician draw a tombstone saying RIP with an arrow saying PATIENT. I shit you not. No note..just a picture. I was amused and horrified. Thank God for EMRs.
Eh, what was that about 'brevity being the soul of wit'? (At the time of the original quote, probably 'wit' was used, as opposed to 'witless' and not 'witty'.)
As for the tombstone in the chart, sometimes 'horrified' is a good thing, such as pertains to those unfilled blanks on the EMR that provide simply no useful information at all.
