Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Years ago I read a dictated history & physical by an experienced doctor. He described the male patient's genitalia as "unremarkable," which is a common medical term, but I'd like to hear the patient's reaction to that!

Actual writings on hospital charts: She has no rigors or shaking chills, but her husband states she was very hot in bed last night. 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 disappeared. The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed. The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993. Discharge status: Alive but without my permission. Healthy appearing decrepit 69 year old male, mentally alert but forgetful. The patient refused autopsy. The patient has no previous history of suicides. Patient has left white blood cells at another hospital. Patient's medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40 pound weight gain in the past three days. Patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch. She is numb from her toes down. While in ER, she was examined, X-rated and sent home. The skin was moist and dry. Occasional, constant infrequent headaches. Patient was alert and unresponsive. Rectal examination revealed a normal size thyroid. She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life, until she got a divorce. I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy. Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation. Examination of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized. The lab test indicated abnormal lover function. The patient was to have a bowel resection. However, he took a job as a stock broker instead. Skin: somewhat pale but present. The pelvic exam will be done later on the floor. 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. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. You snooze, you lose. Get messages ASAP with AutoCheck in the all-new Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 , don't you know it. A couple of weeks ago I got a copy of my last chest CT, done in 12/06, and one place said, "Mild apposed heart disease of the aorta." I thought, What the Heck?!? I looked on the Internet, then asked an ER doc about it, but got no answers. So I asked Baughman when I saw him last Friday. He had a dvd of my CT & went through it bit by bit, showing me my aorta, which was fine. He thought that it was probably supposed to say something about adipose tissue (fat) around the aorta, which is from the Pred weight gain. How they came up with "mild apposed heart disease" is anybody's guess. These people are supposed to proofread the transcripts before they sign them. I know I used to get delivery notes or discharge summaries to sign, and sometimes there was stuff in there that made no sense at all, and I would have to figure out what I meant to say. If there were a lot of errors or changes, I would have them retype the entire note before I signed it. Apparently a lot of clinicians just sign the transcripts without actually reading them. It certainly can be entertaining! Ramblin' Rose Moderator Reply-To: Neurosarcoidosis To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: Re: Re: hospital chart notesDate: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 08:04:10 -0700 (PDT) LOL!!!
