While consulting on a morbidly obese, congestive heart failure patient who goes into fluid overload at the slightest hint of salt in his diet, I was treated to this gem written by another doctor in the chart:
Patient is currently in an acute exacerbation of chronic CHF, precipitated by accidental dietary indiscretion this afternoon.
The “accidental dietary indiscretion” was 3 quarter pounders, a large order of fries, and a liter of cola.
It would be funny if it wasn't so true.
ReplyDeleteI can almost - almost - accept the 'accidental' part of 'burger and fries'. But three quarter pounders? A liter of cola?
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteaccidental?
ReplyDeleteWho was the enabler?
Ronald McDonald, of course.
