Patients never cease to confound


During a recent shift in minor care (44 patient in 10 hours...Ugh!)

Complaints (as written by the patient)

Coold - Cold or URI

Trought - Throat pain or pharyngitis

Left (then scribbled out), right (something unreadable scribbled out) shoulder

Constipal - Constipation

Absest - Abscess (?Incest, obsessed?)

Absens seizurs - Not too hard

Urinary and progressive agressive behavior - cystitis and bipolar

Fell bab and stuch - Turns out an esophageal obstruction

I had one patient today that was seemingly named after a Laptop computer.
