I'm left wondering if doctors never actually read each other's charts and this is just some kind of wild joke, or if we have doctors that come out of school thinking this is appropriate diagnostic, OR if someone just wrote this stuff down in a computer somewhere because he/she couldn't actually read what was on these hospital charts anyway.
Good stuff, I got a nice laugh out of it. |

Try asking me to make this a logical IF ELSE IF statement for me and write it in code more politely. _________________
