Charting bloopers

Admissions clerk note: Diagnosis: Pre-infarted angina.

One of my goof ups that I caught was:

Pt found sitting up in electric chair, no s/sx of distress or anxiety noted.

I caught myself charting this the other day:

"No Lasix given for I>O due to inaccurate output record on previous ****."

It was suppose to say "shift."

Patient satting 95% on 50% "vinny" mask.

Patient with history of "cabbage" in '07.

Heparin and TEDs s/c.

In home health, I once charted "pt discharged home from hospital with assistance of "souse"...wearing "thigh high RED hose" (typos on computer charting)

It sounded like those two had quite a night ahead of them!

I may or may not have written "Pt states hx of pancreatitits, thinks is having relapse" on an intake form, but I cannot confirm or deny any such occurrence.

Keeping a list of admitting diagnoses lately.....

Inflammatory BAVEL disease
Hyperbilirubin Anemia

...can't remember the rest...should have writtent them down!

Heres my favorite:
Med transcriptionist charting a transfer summary listed a med as :"Cigarette 180mg daily" (it was supposed to be "Cardizem 180mg daily").

One Co-worker had a mental block. On the ER chart she would write, "C/O head" everytime some came in with a headache. I guess she preoccupied.
