As I was reading through the chart of a pt I was taking care of I noticed that the clinic doc, one of the most loved in the facility charted, "Cyst on left tit" I almost peed myself reading that note. But it was true, she did indeed have a cyst on her left tit!

Not a blooper, I actually wrote this in a pt's chart.

D: Pt had large loose BM this evening.
R: Pt reports feeling much better

Just came across a funny note from a newly grad nurse:

"Received patient on bed, comatose, GCS 3/15 but patient is ambulatory with assistance. "

I once saw an order that said: O2@4L/Foley cath. I think he meant it to be 2 separate orders.

Haven't you heard people say they have to go so bad their eyeballs are turning yellow? This is one way of dealing w/ the situation!

Well, I DID have a patient come back from the OR w/ an order for foley to intermittent wall suction...and an NGT to bedside gravity drainage! Maybe the doc's mind and fingers weren't working at the same speed?
