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.

Yeah--comatose patients always deny being suicidal.
Ahh, thank you mark-all-the-boxes-even-though-they're-irrelevant electronic charting software. I'm just going to bang my head on that wall over there..
He would be both if he knew the skill level involved in his care.
Attorney: It's obvious the doctor does not understand the medical situation here. He's obviously guilty of .
Nor does he take illicit drugs. Also, he is not sexually active.
I can be talked into anything when I'm comatose.
That brings to mind Sesame Street: "One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong...."
Typical EMR note. The advent of electronic records has worsened care or at least the documentation of care more than anything else. You have prefilled blanks or blanks you check off and the computer writes the note. I suspect the doc just checked on the required box saying he was not suicidal and the computer wrote the note.
Telepathy?
"But the TSA have still chosen him for an enhanced pat-down."
I usually just put 'NA' or 'not applicable' in those blanks, but I wish I could just 'control' 'c' those lines of script and leave the pertinent details. Thank goodness I am usually in too much of a hurry to feel the invisible hand of Big Brother composing the consult note per the template.
If you could wake him up, I wonder if there wouldn't be some suicidal ideation ...
Damn interns. Probably didn't even examine the pt.
That's the trouble with electronic record-keeping ... it gives you a series of boxes to check that doesn't even apply to the situation, and won't let you complete the record without checking one. Leads to notes like this lol
Well, that's one way to get them to stop smoking! Medically comatose and ventilate them. LOL!
LMAO @ Anon from 6/6 8:12!!!
