Comic 8! The last post I make as a first year medical student. I know the dysphasia all too well. One time at my internal medicine preceptorship, I went into a room to talk to a patient. On her chart, under "Reason for visit," it read what I thought was "FLU." I began to ask about flu symptoms, coughing, scratchy throat, achey muscles. She denied all symptoms. I checked the chart again. "Are you sure?" "Yes." "You don't have the flu?" "Um, no." Long pause. "Why don't you just tell me what you are in for," I said, completely flummoxed. She then told me about some other problem, one that she was at the office to follow-up on. Follow-up. F/U.Whoops.
