Admitted in error.
Patient was seen in consultation by Dr. Blank, who felt we should sit on the abdomen and I agree.
Large brown stool ambulating in the hall.
Patient has two teenage children but no other abnormalities.
Discharge status: Alive but without permission.
Dr. Blank is watching his prostate.
If he squeezes the back of his neck for 4 or 5 years it comes and goes.

 The patient has no past history of suicides.
 Patient has left his white blood cells at another hospital. OK, who forgot to bring them?
 Between you and me, we ought to be able to get this lady pregnant.
 Since she can’t get pregnant with her husband, I thought you would like to work her up. Hoo boy, I wonder how they're going to explain or bill for that procedure??
 She is numb from her toes down.
 Occasional, constant, infrequent headaches.
 Exam of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized. WHOA!
 Rectal exam revealed a normal size thyroid. Now that's one thorough exam!!
 The patient was prepped and raped in the usual manner.
 Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation
Who cares if this thread started in 1999, keep them coming, please! I'm sure there's other funny ones.

I had a Dr. one night write H2S04 dressing change bid. I couldn't figure this one out. I faxed it to pharm. and they said there is no such thing. Had several nurses that deal with this Dr. a lot come and look at it and they couldn't make sense of it either. I finally had to call him. He told me I just wrote for a Silvadine dressing change. I told him no you wrote H2S04. Wow did I? I took me 2 hrs of invesigation. Arrrghhhhh.
