Doctors' Comments On Patient Charts
You wouldn't think there were so many ways to misstate a health problem.
The following are comments from doctors as recorded on patient charts.
- "Patient was seen in consultation by Dr. Blank, who felt we should sit on the abdomen, and I agree."
- "By the time he was admitted, his rapid heart stopped, and he was feeling better."
- "The patient was in his usual state of good health until his airplane ran out of gas and crashed."
- "When she fainted, her eyes rolled around the room."
- "Patient was released to outpatient department without dressing."
- "The patient will need disposition, and therefore we will get Dr. Blank to dispose of him."
- "The patient expired on the floor uneventfully."
