As you know from all of the other references on this site and at ChartFarts.com, a chart fart is a medical blooper written or said or entered into a computer by doctors, nurses, techs, patients, etc.

Well, when I was first called about this medical chart blooper, I laughed out loud (real LOL, not just texting it or tweeting it). The attending covering this patient noticed that an intern had written “EKG after each BM” in the admission orders.

I asked him for a copy of it and before receiving the copy, I posted it on Twitter. And as usual, I made a snide comment after it in parentheses. I said “If you really want to tick off the nurses, order that with some kayaxelate”.

Well, here’s the original order…

… complete with the kayaxelate order… Doh!

So… my daughter has a very cute habit of drawing pictures and leaving them on my desk for when I get home. Very cute… until lately… when I started to see all of the medical disorders these renditions of Daddy had embedded in them.

Like this one (above)… It’s cute… it’s funny… until you see that (a) I’m obese, (b) I have a DVT, (c) I have a right facial droop, (d) probable sleep apnea, and (e) a frozen shoulder. Oh… and I probably have gas.

Yeesh… kids these days. I blame the internet.

This colonoscopy humor video was featured on GiggleMed back in the day (in 2008 or something). Anyway, I’m relinking it, because it is truly a classic…

A heavy, rough-around-the-edges nurse, a disco ball, and a colonoscope… Just think of the possibilities… The look on Damon Wayans’ face is priceless.

Patients already say some funny things during conscious sedation, what if Lou Rawls was putting you under like this? Imagine the things you’d say.
