From another doctor's note:
"His father, mother, and all of his other parents died of cancer."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
"His father, mother, and all of his other parents died of cancer."
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.

Parenti in Italian means "relatives." Maybe that's what they really meant?
He grew up in a commune so everyone was his parent. The commune was located under high-tension power lines, over a pool of cadmium, downwind from a nuclear reactor. In the commune they all smoked, used cell phones constantly, and ate lots of burnt bacon.
Wait...what's the problem with burnt bacon...?
Aw - you made me laugh at a Bad Thing. It was a real guffaw too, none of that nambypamby lol stuff. I need to go and pray now.
Hippies?
STEP parents?
Child of polygamists?
biological parents
adoptive parents
foster parents
step parents
god parents
host parents
any more?
Did he mean the in-laws? Maybe grandparents? I give up. . .
Maybe the patient is an oncologist and the note should have said "patients" . . . gosh, I'm terrible! I'm going to have to join Lyonheart now.
The doctor meant "relatives"?
I thought you may appreciate this story. This is from my home, the province of Alberta, Canada, which is very wealthy due to that tarsands people love to hate. Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and home to 1 million people, not some tiny rural town.

And they wonder why there are times when those of us in medical records tear our hair out in utter frustration trying to make sense out of the notes...LOL!
