Doctors' Chart Bloopers

not exactly charting, but instructions on a prescription for a yeast infection medication read: Insert vaginally until exhuasted.

ha!

Oh my!!!!

Well, that sort of thing can be very tiring. At least if done properly.

I really thank God for this site.Its really entertaining.

today this one was written
"Referred to our service for evaluation of 3 day hx-n/v/d. patient seen at 10 am and stuffed with Dr. ____ at 1030."

another weird abbreviation. "bbs-gntb", when asked we were told "bilat breath sounds-good, not too bad"

But dont tell me that one can be tired to the extend of being exhuasted.

Celexa every day prn.

this was a mistake i made when i was doing externship hrs @ a clinic for my Medical Assistant training...... the office was really busy that day with a staff consisting of Doctor , his wife(office manager!! yeah i know not fun enviornment), Medical assistant that worked there for 15+ YEARS.... and me!!giving them my very educational fee labor..... so plenty of people that day coming going both waiting rooms were to full capacity with patients in each of the 3 exam rooms and lab area the office manager always ordered me to do like 3 diff things at the same time!! so she was ordering me to make a chart for a new patient that had just walked in and at the same time she wanted me to give someone their appt... and couple of other things she was ordering me to to .... so i made the chart ... vitaled the patient put it in the chart holder to be seen ..... the doctor later on started yelling out asking where in the heck was this PT!!!! office manager screams well he left over an hour ago what is your problem!!! doc sez WHY IS HIS NAME ON THIS CHART!!! oopsies my bad i know ....

Not charting, but still pretty funny.

A doctor was assessing a patient who had spilled hot coffee on her face and burned herself, he proceeded to ask, "was the coffee that spilled on you hot?" We ribbed him about that one for a few days!

Ok i know this is old..but OMG if i ever see these on a chart, there is NO WAY that i will be able to keep a straight face when i see the doctor. You would think that a doctor would be able to get these things right???
