Beriatric Calls

Well this isn't the way I was aiming for the thread to go, but it it hilarious.

ER doesn't so spelling checks haha We're still on paper call sheets so I don't have spell check.

i read a thread once with alot of atrics, it was a veryatric thread
 
Recently passed by a cattle truck rollover, I heard a dairyatric unit requested.

Whenever one of my lacrosse players gets hurt it's called a sperryatric incident.

Seriously though, spelling does count. People read do sometimes read run those pesky run reports, and even if they don't tell you that your spelling sucks, they will laugh at you behind your back and your credibility will sink to depths previously though unattainable!

And when you end up in court with your PCR blown up on a screen for everyone to see it wont be pretty. They don't care if it is typed or handwritten, spelling and punctuation needs to be correct. I suck at english, it was more worst subject in school so I feel your pain. Have your partner proof read it. Who cares about co-workers, they shouldn't be reading them in the first place unlace they are the QA/QI person. Even then they shouldn't be talking about it.

I've seen a few partners either called out or laughed at by ER charge nurses, and our QA person is pretty merciless when it comes to spelling. I don't care, I take time to do it the right way. I kinda think you deserve a good ribbing from the supervisor if you are unable to spell "acute."

If they are directly involved in pt care they have every right to laugh at you, if not, they have no business reading the PCR. That's a violation of patient privacy. I haven't had the misfortune of our QA/QI person encountering any of my spelling mistakes, yet. Thank god for spell check on our ePCR. Grammatical errors are a different story :lol:

I remember taking an old, large, hairy guy from a hospital in Seattle to a SNF on Bainbridge Island. That was a very-hairy-geri-beri on the ferryatric call.
