Okay, I know the entering interns are a bit nervous...

So, to lighten things up, here are a few things I've seen actually written in the charts of babies over the years by residents. I bet our new interns won't write these as they have had years of training in evidence-based medicine that we didn't get.:)

Please add your own or other humorous pearls for the interns!

1. "Extubate at half-time"

This was written during a March Madness game by someone who wanted to be sure they had a full 20 minutes to watch the baby after extubation.

2. "Bed Rest with Bathroom privileges"

This one I've seen in the charts of several preterm infants after various surgeries. Um, we don't usually worry about this too much in neonatology...


In any case, Good luck interns! Only 36 more months to go!:thumbup:
