I have heard of the "FLK" also, but the one that got me was a when I was working bed control at the trauma hospital. A resident called (this wasn't common practice, the ER clerk usually just faxed over the pt's info), but this resident called to get this TraumaMale a STU bed. I asked for his dx, and he said "*****", I am like , and he is like "F***ed up beyond ALL repair/recognition" I was like , no he didn't!!! I have heard it used several times since then actually.

We have a large (supposedly best in the state) psych unit in our hospital that won't take psych patients from our unit til they are "leveled out" psychiatrically.

Duh, WHAT?

canna42 stole mine......
Not an order, but a progress note from md describing drainage as "*****" instead of purulent. Pretty ignorant of the English language I would say.

The stupidist order ive seen written was my daughter had dental surgery(2 extractions). When I asked about something for pain control, he gradually took out his script pad and wrote an order. Not thinking I took the script to the pharmacy considering I didnt even look at it. After handing the script to the pharm tech, I noticed she started laughing ? When I asked her what was so funny, she handed me the script back. It read: 100 milkshakes p.o prn. ......................What a idiot! lol
