Here's some things you guys have sent in that somehow made it into medical records. Just remember folks, somewhere out there your doctor may be the culprit.
First, from the "wait, what?" department is this unusual treatment for anxiety:
 |
| "I guess it depends on what's making you anxious, nudge nudge wink wink" |
From the "I'd like to buy a vowel" category cums comes this gem:
 |
| "I guess that's nudge nudge wink wink again" |
From the case files of Captain Obvious, M.D. we have these notes:
and
And, lastly is this note from the "How lazy can you get?" department:
This brings back memories from when I worked at the VA 30 years ago. A patient would come to the floor, and the admitting note said "Past history: see old chart." The old chart was inevitably at least 5 volumes, each one 3-4 inches thick.

That spelling is one reason we're facing such an uphill battle in our efforts to give this delicious and nutritious food a more wholesome and less sexualized image. Of course, that's not the only reason.

ReplyDelete"Told patient that's exactly where mid back pain should be, and to come back if it moved somewhere else."
ReplyDeleteIs patient taking Cumedin orally, or by some other route?
ReplyDelete"If you can't find the patient's previous ED visit note, just use some other patient's instead. In the long run, we're all going to die anyway, so what does it really matter?"
ReplyDeleteCum'agin?
