A minor source of amusement, when one has time to waste, is to play around with sentences like this with Google Translate. Use it to translate one’s chosen phrase of butchered English into another language and then translate it back into English. When I did that with this sentence using English to Latin and back I got “He is the patient whom I have followed, in the ascetic, who follows the time in this I will teach”. A positive improvement??
Is this a resident who is evaluated on word count or do they have a resident supervisor who stops reading after a few lines in the record and assumes the record is good if there's a lot of words there?
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.

It’s folly to follow this fallow fellow.
Don't you hate when autocorrect won't let you write "fuck?"
Following Symptoms... so the patient is a stalker.

I don't follow....
Possibly urban legend but...
When "out of sight out of mind" gets translated into Russian, it comes out... Invisible Insanity.
