It’s not only the GMC that makes spelling mistakes.
Mike has dropped Hospital Dr a line about a soldier he once had to anaesthetise for reduction of a fractured ankle. The solider fractured his ankle climbing over a wall as he attempted to escape the camp. He was at the time confined to barracks.
The soldier’s handwritten report of the injury stated: “I broke my ankle jumping from a wall on my way to meat my girlfriend.” Hmmm, could be interpreted a number of ways that one, and ties in rather neatly with another dodgy referral letter sitting on my desk:
Dear Doctor,
I would be grateful for help with this lady, whose relatives are concerned about her behaviour. They fear she may be having paranoid thoughts, for example, she has sheep hung up in her kitchen which she says is to stop the neighbours looking in. She has a third floor flat which is not overlooked.
Yours…
That’s enough of this meat feast. Send in your examples to editorial@hospitaldr.co.uk
