This was scribbled on a patient info sheet, apparently from someone confused over their family who's who.

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.
Singing Foo!

I was expecting the link to go to "I'm My Own Grandpa," but that makes more sense.
I expected the same as Moose.
In fairness, "Mother--Son" is an accurate bilateral description of the relationship, like "Husband--Wife" or "Cousins". The form, of course, was asking for a unilateral descriptor.
Clearly, these are the days of gender fluidity.
I was thinking "Mother and Child Reunion" by Paul Simon

I have to admit I was expecting "I'm My Own Grandpa" too.
Mother divided by son?
I was also expecting 'My Own Grandpa"...tom Lehrer made me laugh out loud..but then I had TWO simultaneous earworms going for a while..felt like I had tuned in to the sound track of a sitcom family therapy session!
Thanks, I think, Dr. Grumpy!
The answer to this question eludes me too. Often when I am looking at the 'contact' and see the answer to the relationship between the person mentioned since it doesn't have a date of birth, I wonder which is the 'child' or 'parent'. I guess it doesn't matter much when whoever is mentioned is the contact.
It took me a while to figure out which button to press on the elevator, too, the 'up' or the 'down', but then I was in the basement and there was only one button to push.
Self-policing grammar ... I mean (anonymous at 3:07) .. it doesn't really matter in the generic record as to the answer is 'child' or 'parent' in the the situation for whom someone just wants a name of a contact. Still, I think that it could be worded a little differently such as 'relationship TO the patient'
it makes me unreasonably happy that I knew exactly what song it was going to be.
Or, what happens when two members of the family decide to share one insurance card.
As a Lehrer fan, this was the first song I thought of. You did not disappoint. :-D
