Aw...that's lazy. I always chart the vitals (proof you're alive) then I'd make sure someone got a definitive sighting of the discharged patient making it into the car and puts on the seatbelt.
No way is some litigious character gonna say, "I fell" in the parking lot if I have anything to do with it.
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.

Get him outta here quick.
Succinct. But lacking in detail. The Russian judge gives is a 5.2
Some alien slime monster leaking from a wound?
Well, technically, "undead..."
Best way to go home from the hospital!

About time someone finally let me out of that fucking box. Why did it take so fucking long, anyway?
QA will flag this record - patient at high risk of readmission to ER within 30 days and that will cost us money.
Written by a surgeon perhaps
life is frittered away in the details
"Anything he still cannot cope with is now your problem."
Sounds like his sense of humor was was dangerously close to changing that status from the doc.
