    My favortie was a FEMALE patient who underwent a TRANSVAGINAL ultrasound. The results read: No testicular torsion noted.

    At one home health agency where I worked, I frequently saw in the admit paper work of female pts that they had a hx of an orchiectomy. Then I noticed that these entries were all made by the same nurse. I asked her one day if she knew what an orchiectomy was and she responded that she did not. I pointed out to her that she had entered this on a number of pts charts. She then became defensive stating that she only copied what the doctor had written on the discharge sheet.

    Unquestionably, I hope you shared your knowledge with this nurse, and for the newbies out there "orchiectomy" is a form of castration typically if testicular CA is suspected. BTW, your post still funny when one is familiar with the procedure... ALOHA~

    An expiration note on a patient that read:

    Called to bedside by nursing to assess patient. Patient transitioned to comfort care and extubated at 1205 a.m. per family request. Asystole on monitor. Unable to palpate central or peripheral pulses. Chest examination reveals no rise or fall. Bilateral breath sounds present with lungs CTA. Unable to auscultate heart sounds. Patient pronounced deceased at 1208 a.m.

    I did not realize you could be breathing and dead.

    An ambulance run sheet on a pt. brought to ER following a GSW to the leg: Pt. inititially refusing transport. Pt. states "I want to finish my fried pork chop first." Pt. agreed to transport when allowed to bring the fried pork chop with him.

    Had a History and Physical come from the Main hospital on a patient that the doctor stated "I am currently suffering from a migraine headache so I am not so sure my dictation is entirely correct". Wow.....why didn't he just wait to dictate after thus said migraine was gone??? I was amazed and horrified!

    Came across a nurse communication order that read: "Please provide pants for the patient. Thank you very much!"

    Initial diagnosis of "flaming pumpkin vs. pedestrian" (which was an accurate portrayal of how the patient got burnt.)
