This came from one of our er charts. the husband and wifr came into er after a fight. The husband had attempted to stab his wife with a knife, the wife put her hand up to defend herself. The husband stabbed her in the hand, severing a tendon. The wife then threw an iron at her husband, hitting him in the head which gave him a bleed/ closed head injury. Our ER dr charted all of this, then wrote, " I asked the wife if she would like to take a stab at ironing things out, but she was still too steamed.":roll

MAybe a Local thing but we refer to heat moisture exchange units (HME"S - you know the little adpators that go on tracheostomy tubes to moisten the air ) as "SWEDISH NOSES". Fell out of cahir onw day when saw written in a chart - patient breathing well through Parson's nose!

My favorite came from a "new" RN. Actual admitting note" Took strecher to ER to pick up pt. Brought pt to 207 window. No c/o":confused:

at my facility nurses are notorious for putting "d/i", that is "dry and intact" under the "color/temp" section. so that would read color = dry, temp = intact?. ha!
