Sep. 21, 2009 - Funny from work

Posted in Just for fun

I was typing in the info for a female patient today.  When I typed in the ICD9 code, it said something about the scr*tum.     I said, "I don't think you are here for a problem with your scr*tum."    

My patient sure got a laugh out of it.  She couldn't wait to get home and tell her dh what happened.  

It's funny what kind of diagnosis will show up if you are just one number off from the correct diagnosis.  (And it was the doctor's error, not mine.)

On a side note -- what a day!  It seemed like only 90 minutes had passed from the time I had lunch to when it was time to go home.  Very busy, but enjoyable day.  And even better that time flew.

Yunie,

I'm sorry, but I don't remember that link. With working, I don't have time to try to search it w/o knowing exactly what I'm looking for.
