I just can't stay away from this thread. I read this stuff and laught til I'm crying and coughing. My family thinks I'm nuts.

Doctor meant to write, "Wean off O2, keep sats > or = to 92%. However, he was busy/stressed and didn't like the patient very much so wound up writing, "Wean, keep sats

I had a Dr. one night write H2S04 dressing change bid. I couldn't figure this one out. I faxed it to pharm. and they said there is no such thing. Had several nurses that deal with this Dr. a lot come and look at it and they couldn't make sense of it either. I finally had to call him. He told me I just wrote for a Silvadine dressing change. I told him no you wrote H2S04. Wow did I? I took me 2 hrs of invesigation. Arrrghhhhh.
