Medical Records...

Having worked in the medical field for nearly twenty years now, I do appreciate medical humor. I hope you do, too...
 
The following are actual medical records [supposedly] taken from patients' actual medical charts...
 
  • The patient was in his usual state of good health until his airplane ran out of gas and crashed.
  • I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy.
  • The patient lives at home with his mother, father, and pet turtle, who is presently enrolled in day care three times a week.
  • She is numb from her toes down.
  • While in the emergency room, she was examined, X-rated and sent home.
  • The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.
  • Occasional, constant, infrequent headaches.
  • Patient was alert and unresponsive.
  • When she fainted, her eyes rolled around the room.
My personal favorite, from a record I saw with my own eyes, was a radiologist's review of a chest x-ray, in which he stated that the placement of the penis was good (!?!?). Who do you know that keeps their penis in their chest?
