Trying to figure out why a lady was coming to see me, I called the other doctor's office and asked them to fax over the most recent chart note.

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.

Someone didn`t know how to work the fax machine ? ;-)
Ever have to write a check to settle a zero balance?
"Helpful it is not"
"I was kind of hoping you'd come up with something."
Just make sure you vote for her next week.
Perhaps her yaks need herding
It's important to keep your options open.
Perfect! Sign her up!
Not the exact same thing (okay not even close); in roughly 1998, I was sent to collections by my local hospital for $.01 (yes, you're reading that right)! I taped a penny to the letter, addressed it to the CEO of the hospital & marked it personal/confidential and sent it certified mail (it was worth the ENTIRE AMOUNT)! Along w/ the penny I wrote something like, "Isn't this ridiculous? I'd love to know how much all of this cost the Hospital!?" Believe it or not, the CEO called me personally and agreed how stupid it was and that he and the "Board" got a good laugh! Because I wasn't laughing, I requested a letter for the Credit Bureau just in case but never needed it! If this happened during a time of FB I suspect this would've gone viral? Crazy, stuff!
Bonus for meaningful use.
As a 38-year medical transcriptionist/VR editor who just lost a wonderful acute care account to Epic/Dragon, so happy to find my sense of humor has survived the loss. Thanks, as always, for a good laugh. GIGO still applies:-) even with EMR.
Best VR chart blooper I encountered: "ALLERGIES: penis" (for PEANUTS)
You can't be too careful. The death panels have eyes everywhere...
They loaded the invisible ink cartridge into the fax/printer again!!
