Wow! Detailed note! Maybe needing a bit of detail, for example 'She probably can take acute migraine meds intermittently, her trigger is mostly smells of perfume at church.' Just a guess, but that would make sense to me.
I know the computer charting leads to some weird entries, but this seems like a very very lazy doctor note...or a typist who couldn't understand most of the note, likely because many docs are only able to eat a meal while they're dictating, but that's a different issue with U.S. health care, sigh.
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.

She would be incensed if she knew that someone had written that in her chart!

My kid brother gave off smells when he was in church, too.
OOO, OOO what is that line about a fart in church
Oh, yeah This blog entry went over like a fart in church.
I love it.
That sounds like a mnemonic for something.
But, does she inhale? (sniff, sniff)
Is that a cryptic crossword clue?
Mostly spells in church and an unfortunate typo? As in having dizzy spells maybe?
Maybe it's time to wash that Sunday-go-to-meetin' outfit.
"Patient explained that she worships a giant block of Limburger cheese."
Was this written by a medical professional, or a disgruntled fellow parishioner?
