Nurses and non-medical staff always complain about doctor's handwriting. How are they supposed to make any medical sense out of a trail that looks like a line drawn while the writer kept sneezin'?

My take? Occupational Hazards.

I read a joke from the Reader's Digest:

"We were really confused.
While transcribing medical audiotapes, a collegua came upon the following garbled diagnosis:" this man has pholenfrometry."
Knowing nothing about that particular condition, she double-checked with the doctor. After listening to the tape, he shook his head.
"This man," he said, translating for her, " has fallen from a tree."


If you are ever asked: Why don't you be a nurse instead of a doctor?
This example sums it up pretty well.



Classic.
