Humorous Hospital Charts

HUMOROUS HOSPITAL CHARTS

I came across some notes supposedly found on hospital charts, and I thought you might enjoy them as I did:

• The patient refused autopsy.

• Note: Patient recovering from forehead cut. Patient became very angry when given an enema by mistake.

• Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.

• On the second day, the knee was better, and on the third day it disappeared.

• The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993.

• She is numb from her toes down.

• While in ER, she was examined, x-rated, and sent home.

• Patient was alert and unresponsive.

• I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy.

• The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.

• Skin: Somewhat pale but present.

• Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities. (Marshall Shelley, www.PreachingToday.com)

No doubt, these were probably written by some sleepy intern or frazzled nurse. But that describes most people in our society today – underpaid, overworked and weary. Perhaps, it describes you these days.

It certainly described Moses in the days after God used him to free the Israelites from Egypt.
