Funny Typos

Published

With computerized charting I have made some interesting typographical errors that I catch when I am reviewing notes. Today I noted a patient called because of his terrible abdominal craps (instead of cramps:idea: ). Ant one else?

when I was still a "unit coodinator" (that's what it said on my badge- coodinator), a doc was in late one night writing orders. I want to take them off, and read "mri breast with contrast, r/o cva". I ran it by three nurses and they all agreed tht that was what it said. Any guesses as to what he had been staring at the entire time he was writing orders?

Hate to say this, but in the doc's defense, if "coodinator" is written that way on your name tag, I'm wondering if he noticed that "coordinator" is spelled wrong? :lol2:

Considering I ALWAYS wear my badge on my waist (always have had horrible pictures on badges), I'm pretty sure that he didn't realize that i was a "coodinator". Nope, i kinda noticed him staring, out of the corner of my eye, but was pretending not to notice. After that night, I always had a jacket on when he came around.
