Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.

On the second day the knee was better and on the third day it had completely disappeared.

Father died in his 90's of female trouble in his prostate and kidneys.

Skin: Somewhat pale but present.

The pelvic examination will be done later on the floor.

Vomiting of unknown origin.

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.

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.

thanks guys for making me laugh today. I really enjoyed them all
