Nursing Note of the Week
Here is a nurses triage note I came across lately:
"Pt here seeking treatment for new "spots" on his legs, thinks it may be ringworms. Reports he was released from jail last week and has been staying in a crack house x 4 days. Also reports "bugs" in his groin area and axillary area and reports when he smokes crack that the bugs in his groin area form a V. Unable to inspect this "V" or groin area at this time."
Pretty funny stuff.
