AKA Oops!
When you tell a patient that they are doing very well for a 97year old in spite of all their medical conditions when in fact, they are ONLY 74 years old.
Yikess!!! I was only trying to be encouraging and thanks to being terribly busy, I only got a verbal report from the hospitalist who told me the pt was 97 and I didn't have time to look up the patient myself.
General: In moderate distress. Appears much older than stated age.
In my defense the patient totally looked 97
Praying to God I have a quiet night. We admit every night and so far it's been crazy busy.

Kpele oO, dokita Sting. I can imagine the look on your face when you realized your mistake :)
ReplyDeleteLuckily I didn't realize until I was staffing the patient with the attending.
