This is a weekly series of funny stuff I overhear in medicine. For the previous post, click here.
I'm still busy with stuff I discussed in A Death In The Family, so I'm doing reruns. You may have seen these on Twitter and around teh interwebz, but I bet they'll give you a laugh anyway. See if you can spot where these doctors went wrong:
ACTUAL UNEDITED NOTES WRITTEN BY DOCTORS ON PATIENTS MEDICAL CHARTS

Where do you find your energy? I am SO. FREAKING. TIRED. Mum's sick, a whole bunch of relatives are in hospital, I have some long-distance travelling to do...argh. I wish caffeine pills still worked on me (developed a tolerance for them in med school. Don't suggest that damn 'Eye of the Tiger' song - developed a tolerance of that too. In fact I pretty much can't freaking bear to listen to it anymore without perforating my own eardrums).
Ken Wooi: Wow, pretty damn good for a non-doctor! Then again should I really be surprised, coming from a successful blogger and tech master like you?
I'll post the rest of the answers soon!
Erm... Where's the post celebrating Chelsea's CL victory, or at least a couple of photo-shopped photos with John Terry taking credit for other people's achievements?
Dear Dr Angry,
Did you have anything to do with this?

John Terry's Greatest Fan Anonymous: It's rare that a comment manages to make me crack up laughing immediately. This did. Will get on it ASAP!
Newswatch Anonymous: Shit. I knew, I knew I shouldn't have fried that damn 10-year-old mainframe computer trying to get it to play Diablo 3.
Sorry. Now keep your voice down, won'tcha?!
