When I was 14 my grandmother was in a coma. For some reason, the hospital kept sending food to her room, despite the fact that she obviously wasn't going to eat it. I was there, I was hungry, so I ate it! Hospital people wrote down on her chart that she had eaten everything.

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.

It would be nice if deferring the review of symptoms was easier, but in many EMRs if you don't check the boxes you don't get the money.
