For a sequel to last week’s popular list of bloopers, we present another list of bloopers.
Now, our sources insist that these are all real. That’s what makes them so dang funny!
Our Favorite Mistakes Made in the Pursuit of Care
1. Discharge status: Alive but without permission.
2. The patient has no previous history of suicides.
3. Patient has left white blood cells at another hospital.
4. She has no rigors or shaking chills, but her husband states she was very hot in bed last night.
5. Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.
6. On the second day, the knee was better, and on the third day it disappeared.
7. The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed.
8. Patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch.
9. The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993.
10. Patient’s medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40-pound weight gain in the past three days.
11. While in ER, she was examined, X-rated and sent home.
Got any more good bloopers to share?
my favorite written by me, supervisor laughed so hard
Alert and organized x3
Another funny one-
“Patient was present when suppository was inserted.” lol um, was the nurse there too?
“Patient vomited a large amount of emesis”
“Alert with episodes of forgetfulness”…this was a daily chart entry at a SNF I used to work for…:/
ER Nurse: “I’m almost finished with my 12 hr shift. I’m so tired I don’t even know what I’m saying.”
Patient: “But you know what you’re doing, right?”
one of my coworkers wrote on an assessment for a 5 day respite: possible long term stay if patient still alive after 5 day respite. lol I gave him so much heck for that!
