    we had a new unit secretary that when she read the proctologists order "order donut for pt.", she called dietary and ordered donuts. We never let her forget that one.

    applying live yoghurt ie with acidopholus and bifidus (not with fruit) to vagina is great for yeast infection (plus eating yoghurt is good too)

    An elderly patient needed a note from the doc to give to her apartment superintendent to allow her to have a pet.

    A prescription was written: "One cat, use as directed daily and PRN".

    I photocopied it and blacked out the patient ID info and added it to my "funny pile" which I read on the bad days at work.

    Can I ask... approved by whom? Not trying to be argumentative or anything but doesn't *sound* like a diagnosis,much less an approved one. JMO
    Thank you.
