The following is a list of errors given to us by the med school which
previous students have made when reporting on a patient. They were all
quite hilarious, but since the list is long, this is just a
sampling. I think they’re pretty funny.
(By the way, these are all supposedly written on actual patient charts…)
1. Went to bed feeling well, but woke up dead.
2. Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.
3. The pelvic examination will be done later on the floor.
4. Patient stated that if she would lie down, within 2-3 minutes something
would come accross her abdomen and knock her up.
5. Dr. Blank is watching his prostate.
6. Discharge (from hospital) status: Alive but without permission.
7. The infant was handed to the pediatrician who cried spontaneously.
8. Pain in his ear with inability to breath through his ear.

10. Patient left his white blood cells at another hospital.
11. Physician has been following the patient#s breast for six years.
12. The patient is 71-year-old female who fractured her little finger while
beating up a cake.
13. She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate
directions in early December.
14. The patient left the hospital feeling much better except for his
original complaints.
