I just read an article about the problems with electronic medical records - which I heard about here first. Now I understand why I'm always asked if I could be pregnant - I'm 65. :(
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.

Electronic medical records really are a bad joke. It would be funny if they didn't cost so much.
And the cost can be lives, not £,$ or €...
Maybe those are the names of his pets.
It doesn't appear that the Neurontion jellybean has a different last name. Maybe the person is not allergic to the gabapentin jellybean.

Of course the patient was feeling no pain at time of interview
Maybe patient is lying.
Did the patient later say, "They gave me a drug that starts with D... Dee lo did?."
