What are some of the more unusual, amusing, scandalous, and funny symptoms/diagnosis you have come across? Include any strange, comical, odd, outlandish, bizarre, humorous, weird, phonetically written, miswritten, misspelled, misunderstood symptoms and diagnosis or any that you just plain like.

Any websites or books on the subject that you know of and could post would be appreciated as well.

One funny one I came across was ‘Pain in the A**’, the ER clerk was either sick of dealing with patients or didn’t like dealing with this particular patient. I suppose ‘L buttock Pain’ wouldn’t have been as fun.

:lol2:

:roll

A classic one I enjoy is ‘Can’t Read’. I don’t know why, but I always think this is a funny comment to put in. I suppose ‘illegible’ is too difficult to spell and again isn’t as fun.

:smackingf Here’s a weird one I came across, ‘Knocked out by Pan’. Not sure if that meant he was hit by his wife with a frying pan or he was boxing with the mythical little pipe playing half man half goat, Pan. Either way I love coming across the symptoms that make me do a double take.

:lol_hitti

Post as many as you wish and as often as you wish, I will include more as I come across them. Enjoy. :yeah:

my fav was a mom who was trying to get her son re-admitted after he left ama he had alcoholic gastritis and and irritated esophagus. she informed me that we could not discharge him because he had a hole in his asparagus.

from a progress note of a very tired neurosurgeon: pt is feeling much better after recieving head in physical therapy. as you might imagine he was very imbarrased when i suggested that the girls in pt were really going above and beyond, they usually only use heat.:blushkiss
