Writing your own history...
So in one of our clinics, in order to save time, patients are asked to write out their own medical/surgical history, allergies, medication list, and various other information on a form that becomes part of their chart. I like to look at these sheets because they provide a lot of information about the patient because it is in their own words. I saw one last week that is my all-time favorite and pretty much allowed me to make the diagnosis before I even saw the patient.
(Patient's own writing/spelling)
Past Medical History
1. Miagranes
2. Possible seizures
3. Paralized stomache muscele and nerve
4. Nerveous type person
Past Surgical History
1. Childbirth
2. Histerectomy
3. Gladder bladder
-------
So wait, if the gladder bladder is gone, does that mean the patient still has their sadder bladder?
