Dr. Cranquis' Mumbled Gripes

I'm an American physician who works in an Urgent Care clinic. I see lots of stupid or funny things that people do with-and-to their health. I cope by mumbling under my breath (and then posting about it on this pseudonymous blog). Thought you might be interested.

(Disclaimer: Questions related to medical topics will be answered to the best of Dr. Cranquis' (and Google's) knowledge, but the internet-delivered wisdom on this blog CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT SUBSTITUTE for your Real-Life Doctor's personal attention + examination, and your own common sense too! If you think you're having a medical emergency, hang up and go email 911. The author of this blog takes no responsibility for any medical, relationship, scholastic, financial, or other decisions you may make based on information found in this blog.)

And since people seem to be a bit confused about this: any "real-sounding" patients names are just horrible puns, and not HIPAA violations.

Blogs I Follow

So recently, my Urgent Care changed our “Sign In” procedure, so that patients themselves have to write down their Chief Complaint for the visit.

Did you know people can’t spell?

See if you can figure out these mysterious symptoms:

  • Soar Throw (Hi, Brett Favre!)
  • Twisted Ancul (I loved their first album)
  • Ear Infek Infecs Hurts
  • Ichi Rash (Ooh, Asian Food!)
  • Problems with my sighnesses sinises (Sighness. Ahhhh, LOVE IT.)
  • Soljer Pain (Crank That, Shoulder Boy!)
  • Dyar Diurr Dyureha Lots of poop (We’ve all been there, buddy.)

    What’s sad is that I’ve had physicians that are just as bad at spelling things… when they dictate something and think it...
