I was a firefighter for several years.

Every call at 3:00 in the morning was an older person with "trouble breathing."

In most cases they weren't breathing at all.

Hey, I happen to know that you can be mentally alert and forgetful at the same time.

Ok, I lost my train of thought...

Ellen said...

The patient refused an autopsy? I wondered how that request was made.
You'd almost think the people writing the charts would learn a little proof-reading... but then we wouldn't have these little tidbits to pass around on the web would we?

Haha.... you are so clever to find them!

Grimstarr said...

Jeezusss, where do you come up with these things doll? Is there a web site or what? That shit is funny. The last prostate exam I had, the doctor also checked my thyroid (or at least that's how it felt! LOL) Have a great week Love.

My genitalia is circus sized... FLEA CIRCUS SIZED! HEYO!

Lee Ann said...

Beck ~ I agree. That is how, I think, my car gets me to work some days! ;)

Ellen ~ I know...I think I would refuse one too (but probably not after the fact). I used to work in the newborn nursery in a hospital in Texas. I would see mistakes, but usually not to that extent.

Rob ~ Thank you, I hope you have a super week!

TG ~ Hey! I know, some of this stuff is nuts, isn't it! You have a great week too, cutie!

Jiggsy ~ Awww...you are the cutest little...uh, I mean cutest! I heart you Jiggsy. ;)

One of my medical school buddies sent me that list. I laughed hysterically, but then wondered what kind of run-on sentence mistakes I made on my histories.
