This is how a note I received from a neurosurgeon ended. Thanks, guys, that really helps.
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.

Brain: Brain is not available for this doctor.
Well...writing an impression and plan isn't brain surgery...
so there's that.
And I suppose Medicare paid for this wonderful consult, the results of which are available only to the consulting neurosurgeon, and therefore of no use to the treatment team - or the patient in the bed!!
almost as good as one I recently came across from an ER doc: "patient was probably seen by me."
One can only assume this means he has no idea what is wrong with the patient and doesn't even want to guess, and thus, he has no idea to treat the mystery illness...
I wonder if it's a moronic EHR error, rather than a doc error.
What Nurse Lilly said...
He found the patient totally unimpressive and made no further plans. I'm sure you met some women like that back in your dating days.
Payment: Payment is not available for this doctor.
At least 20% of the notes I get from the ER look like that. Makes me nuts.

So now you have to spend even more money to upgrade to a patient who has these features available?
