Another resident.

Maybe she doesn't know what "incredibly" means.

"... as well as a history of polio when she was incredibly young."

This resident is DRIVING ME CRAZY.

She has a strange speech habit (maybe she cannot help it) where she never says the combination of the K and S sound. So, like every time she says the number 6, it's "sits." And I never noticed how many times the number 6 can show up in a discharge summary. "Infection" is "infetsin." "Antibiotics" are "antibiotits." Grrr.

I just want to SHAKE HER.

Edited: Hmmm. She seems to have trouble with the K and T sounds together as well. I never noticed that before. "Multifactorial" is "multifattorial."

Doctor seriously said this:

"The patient is full of feces."

That's why they pay me to spell.

"We then introduced an awl to the center of the tibia. Spelled O-W-L."

Doctor being circular

SKIN: No rash or lesion noted except as noted in the skin examination. 

Perhaps she did not understand the followup plan?

On a 2-year-old girl: "She has been noncompliant and lost to followup until 14 months of age."

Helpful doctors who help with spelling, helpfully

"The C loop and duodenum were essentially held taut - T A U G H T - ..."

So what was he like before?

"He is sleeping. He is much more alert and awake since I saw him last."

Is it supposed to do that?

"The colon was decompressed and removed from the patient."

So much wrong with this sentence

"This went directly into the CSF-oma, and 600 ml of CSF fluid were aspirated."

Small for gestational age

"The baby weighed 3340 mg." - A tired resident

An understandable mistake

"The patient is now being transferred to the penitentiary - I mean, the assisted living facility."
