Discussing pseudo-addiction for a 75 y/o WF overusing her BT meds. Dictated about increasing her long acting and workingto make sure she was not a chemical coper.


"chemical cobra" was on the page.

just noticed this am looking at a note from last fall - I dictated "I injected the piriformis" , it was typed "I injected the area for months"

 

[fastosprintini]

" the patients lower back was prepped and raped in a sterile fashion"

 

[axm397]

from my co-resident's note:

"the patient also has persistent priapism that he cannot control"

(I think she meant he has persistent spasms that he cannot control)

Will consider a trial of "highly ironic" acid injections for his bilateral knee osteoarthritis.

 

[SSdoc33]

...the patient displays decreased "gay" tolerance with short step length on the left......


...no evidence of "eggs you hate" (exudate)........

On a patient whose insurance changed and she had to switch pain doctors (from a colleague of mine to my practice):

Dictated: "All that I can add to Dr. X's previous care is a little embellishment".

Transcribed: "All that I can add to Dr. X's previous care is a little intelligence"

. . . and cc'd to the other pain doctor.
