Doctor was not the most optimistic person I've ever met but when he wrote in the chart of a patient with a chronic blood disease. He states this situation is hopeless & patient will die if they don't come back for their next appointment.
Started to see FOS on several monthly Dr notes... finally had to ask....he responded Full Of ****!!!!! Everyone has been complaining about not going to bathroom....then realized their had been several colace and Senna orders....
The dictation software constantly replaced Minocyclinr with "minnow cycling" and doctor doesn't ever catch it. Love having health records with that in it forever.
