   Here are a handful of chart bloopers from my office. I'm sure I'll be adding more to this list as I come from an office where English is not the native language for most of the employees, including our doctor: "Patient is also here for RT Foot pain ...

    bunnylovinggrl replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired
