Medical bloopers on Patient Charts

We've all seen sports bloopers and TV bloopers -- well, how about Medical bloopers?

We have collected all of the unintentionally funny things that doctors have written in medical files. Everything you will read, including bad spelling and grammar, has been lifted directly off of these reports. Keep checking here as more bloopers are submitted. All of the names have been omitted to protect the innocent and not-so-innocent!

oo much work, too much to think about are probably the reasons that lead to the following mistakes and bloopers which were assembled from patients charts!
