    I once saw "blocked breast duck" on a form.

    It's the inability to spell 'removal' that concerns me most! Doesn't everyone who writes in a chart (i.e. nurses/doctors etc.) need at least a uni degree to do so?

    3 out of 4. Outstanding. Wonder if 2010 is the correct year.....?

    Props for legibility.

    You can still have a normal life without your gull blatter.

    Actually, it was on a patient history form, not generated by the office system.

    I think it was supposed to read Gull Splatter removed and referred to an unfortunate incident when walking on the beach.

    Hey, c'mon folks, they did spell 1 out of the 4 words properly!

    And you REALLY don't want to know which part of the patient's body the gull blatter was lodged in.

    Is that etymologically related to the Ravenous Bug Blatter Beast of Traal?

    Did the procedure silence the gull?

    Obviously the patient was too gullible so they had their gull bladder removed so they weren't so easy to scam.

    I was providing my history to the nurse at a new PCP's office. I mentioned laparotomy, and not only did I need to spell it for her, I had to explain what it was. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

    Was this written by a medical professional, or by someone who cleans automobiles?

    I remember this one time in the late sixties when I took some blotter and then spent hours watching a gull. Changed my life forever.

    I think it would take a lot of skill to remove a duck from a gull's bladder.
    Did I read that right?

    So non-medical personnel get to do the charting now?

    Why would someone remove the gull blatter? How can you blat your gulls without it?

    *rereads*

    Oh, it was a removel. Nevermind, sometimes you got to movel the blatter a few times to get it lined up.

    I'm assuming that the blatter is the bit that goes "Mine! Mine! Mine!"

    I think this is the patient's handwriting. Hopefully the spelling was corrected when it was transfered to the EMR?

So wadda you think?
