Can We Help You?

I was at one of our Northend clinics today, helping with an electronic medical records implementation and saw posted at one of the provider's desk a listing of some of the "Reason for Today's Visit" that have been written on patient's charts over the years:


Fist in armpit

General wart

information regarding chicken pots

Herniated Dick

skin falling off penis

F/U CK

stablish care, GAU assing pt

pt wants Dr. to interfere with her virginity

pap snear

f/u on freezing of face

pt able to walk 50 yrs before he needs to stop

get her tubes tight

Dumbness in fingers


*

Sounds like a fun place to work.

Thank you for these! I have hundreds, yet several of of these are new classics for my list.
(F/U CK is going to the top of the charts with a bullet!) In 2 decades of transcription, my favorite is still "baloney amputation." New transcriptionists are the mostest fun. Really.

Glad you all found these amusing. My personal favorite was "Dumbness in fingers." Hahahaha . . . on so many levels.

Pamela: it took me a few minutes, but i finally got it: "baloney amputation" is "below knee amputation." hehehe, priceless!
