Very warm coffee enemas are an "alternative treatment" for cancer. I have had several patients that insisted on using them.

This wasn't an order a Dr wrote but was a diagnosis on an ER chart. Female patient came in with an ulcer on her leg...badly infected. On the er record our doc wrote for diagnosis...copious ***** drainage..ha ha ha totally left off where ...laughed until we cried. Next time he worked of course we brought it to his attention. The look on his face was priceless. Afterall you cannot alter a permanent record.

OMG!!!
Had to keep reading this....I am thinking..."that's not where the drainage is coming from...." tooooooooooooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a child come in with a bead in his ear. After we removed it; the discharge order read "don't do that again."

Oh, yes. I got an order, when I worked med/surg, for "foley cath, low continuous suction"

on a 26 yo guy! It was pretty obvious the doc left out part of the order, like "NG tube" but if carried out w/o clarification.....

Saw this in a chart this weekend, and the 4 of us on all agreed we were reading the same thing:

T*ts with vital signs



It was written by one of the pulmonary docs.
