Funny Hospital Chart Bloopers


Posted: May 21, 2010

My sister sent me an email yesterday with these.  I thought you all might enjoy reading them.  I told her this is stuff I get with ASR every day.  I, of course, do not know if they are ASR or not, but it sure looks like a lot of stuff I get on that.  Hope it gives you a smile:

Funny ASR BloopersNov 13, 2009
I had a report today in which ASR interpreted a doctor's name as "Dr. Vagina."  LMAO.  His name was not even close to the word "vagina."  I had one a couple of months ago I will never forget.  ASR:  "The patient is going to hell."  Corrected:  "The patient is going to Iowa."  How do you get 'hell" out of Iowa?  LOL.  If nothing else, ASR is good for a few laughs on occasion. ...

Medical Bloopers, Very Funny.Nov 17, 2009
These are mistakes and bloopers which were put together from medical charts.  Some of these are very funny. The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.

She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life until 1989 when she got a divorce. The patient was in his usual state of good health until his ai ...

an hour ago.  Aside from feeling good to be home, I also feel protected because I have Medicare. If Romney were the president, I'd be out on the street with no insurance for instances like this because he hates Medicare. This is my 14th hospitalization since 2006 for the same problem, which is very painful and caused by a genetic disease I inherited. My disease is incurable.

Seattle Children's Hospital - See MsgNov 05, 2013
Seattle Children’s Hospital ranks No. 11 on the U.S. News & World Report best pediatric hospital list. When Obamacare rolled out, the hospital found itself with just two out of seven insurance companies on Washington’s exchange. Seattle Children’s is the only pediatric hospital in King County, and offers keys services, such as cancer care, which are not available anywhere else in the region. So if you sign up for Obamacare, good luck surviving. Fortunately, that represents ...

FIL Is In The Hospital, And It's Just A Matter Of Time Before He PassesMar 25, 2010
He's not on any life support and is resting comfortably. To make a long story short, apparently he ran through all their retirement money and now she has no savings. On top of that, he ran up about $60,000 in credit card bills that she knew nothing about, because the bills were sent to our house.He's been living a pretty secretive live for years, telling her he was working out of town when in fact he was right here in town, but living elsewhere. We don't know where he was living. ...

Eye-opening Information On Hospital Costs.Jul 05, 2012
I watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta's piece on CNN this week where he was explaining why hospital costs were so high.  Of all the bills collected by the hospital from all sources they only end up actually collecting 4%, that's 4 cents for every dollar billed!  To compensate, they bill accordingly so they come out even or ahead, $800 for a disposable chest tube that in reality costs less than $50 from the supplier.  This was really shocking to me!  To be fair, labor need ...

More Emphasis Being Placed On Multiple Hospital Admits?Jun 13, 2014
I'm an acute care MT. I have been taking notice lately of the emphasis on how many hospitalizations a patient has had within the prior 12 months from the most recent visit. All for seniors (over 60) and seemingly with an effort, urge or suggestion to transition to DNR/DNI status. Are the death panels auditing these hospitals? Is this what was being talked about regarding the ACA limiting how many times a hospital can admit a patient before being penalized? Don't get me wrong, my family ...

Legionairre's Disease In Indiana HospitalApr 04, 2016
This is the hospital I worked in for years. I also was a patient over the years. Sometimes our little hospital has to send people there if they cannot provide the right services (ours a little hospital). Latest on this is that the person got Legionnaire's from the hospital. They were not at all sure of how he acquired it. On the local news, they said no one would say the condition of the man, but that he had been extremely sick. Said the tests won't come back for at least 10 days, ...

Can You Challenge The Amount Billed For A Hospital Inpatient StayJan 13, 2012
 I hope someone who has done hospital billing might be more familiar with how that works and can explain this to me. So, I had to have emergency surgery.  Since I was laid off 2 years ago and have not been able to find a full-time job that offers insurance, I have no medical insurance at all.  The surgery was done by an M.D., and her assistant was a PA-C.  I always assumed that an M.D. Surgeon charges the most and any assistant would bill at a lower rate, especially if she ...

Nonprofit Hospital Systems Belie Their Title, MakeAug 11, 2013
This article is from CBS News, one of many on the subject around the country.

One of my accounts (I AM an MT/ME)  is officially a nonprofit that, while raking in big profits by providing luxury services to wealthy, and/or just well-insured patients  - and very ...

Doctor Armed With Assault Rifle Kills 1, Injures 6 At NYC Hospital,Jul 01, 2017
A doctor who apparently harbored a longstanding grudge opened fire with an assault rifle at the New York City hospital where he used to work Friday, killing one and injuring several others before taking his own life, according to police sources. In the wake of what New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called a "horrific" instance of what appeared to be workplace violence just before 3 p.m., the suspect, Dr. Henry Bello, who hid the AR-15 under his white lab coat, tried to set himself on fire an ...

Obama Directs HHS To Establish Rules Ensuring Hospital Visitation Rights For Gay, Lesbian CouplesApr 15, 2010
President Obama has signed a memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to establish rules that would bar hospitals from denying visitation rights to partners of gay and lesbian patients. Many hospitals currently restrict hospital visitation to a patient's family members by blood or marriage. Because gay marriage is not legal in most states, partners are often unable to visit their loved ones--even in emergency situations. Any hospital that receives federal Medicare ...
