Found in the History and Physical section of a patient's chart who had experienced visual hallucinations while ill:
Quote "Patient vehemently denies any auditory, tactile, or old factory hallucinations."

"bowel obstruction likely d/t all the p***s the pt ate"
We notified Dr and it was corrected to "bowel obstruction likely d/t all the peanuts the pt ate". ??

Order blooper by a resident:
To administer potassium 80mEq IV continuously in one hour (with the 20mEq/50cc bags).
I told him that I was not going to do that and kindly explained why.

OMG. EIGHTY mEq? Maybe even by peripheral access.
I remember waaaay back when, the end of shift charting often said, "Status quo." Then you'd have to page back to find out where, when, or how the supposed status quo started.

An order I recently D/C's due to being a duplicate and containing a swear word...
"Monitor laying, sitting and standing BP every sh*t"

On psychiatry when a student. Pateint who menstruated all over the floor as she took off sanitary protection, then went off her head:
"Placed in seclusion for a short period"
As a CNS I once received a referral letter:
"...on biopsy his lover was cirrhotic" (I think they meant liver).
