Actual writings on charts in a MPUMALANGA hospital (South Africa)
These are pretty funny. Apparently these were actually written in real patients’ hospital records. And I’ve certainly seen some things almost as strange as this. If you don’t think this is funny, blame my dad, who forwarded them to me… (thanks Dad!)
1. The patient refused autopsy.
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.
