"Whenever" and "Seen"

[cassiesmom]

Dear Medical Students,

You are future doctors! Please note the following.

A course is something where you sit in a lecture hall, with a professor at the front of the room, and you take notes. Coarse is how my lungs sound through your stethoscope when I am very congested.

A border is what you put around the edges of a box sometimes in Microsoft Word. A boarder is a patient in one level of care waiting for a room in another, usually lower.

The patient is lying in bed... please don't write laying!

Be sure you understand the differences between due and do, threw and through. You should have learned these in high school, if not before. And if I ever see "prolly" in a chart again I'm going straight outside to bang my head on the sidewalk.

Thank you,
A Nurse

Oh, and one more: a bowl (not a bowel) is what you eat cereal from! Please!

I found another one! The patient's skin is taut (not taught) from edema.

I have a new favorite: "Specimen walked to lab." I know what that means... I didn't send it via pneumatic tube, I didn't wait for the lab runner to take it with the next pick-up, but I physically delivered it to the lab in order to get the results back quickly. But it always makes me think of test tubes with legs sticking out of them, walking their way to the lab!!

How about this one. A friend says this a lot. "Sore to speak" instead of so to speak. He also spells a lot as alot. We all have done that at some point

Title of newspaper article: "Pawn shop operates discretely in Hinsdale"

Dear Editor: Shouldn't that be 'discreetly'? Yes, it is a separate and distinct business, but the whole point of the article is that it is intentionally unobtrusive because of its location in tony Hinsdale.

I'm bumping up this old thread with a new one: "Epic Fail"
Fail is a verb. Failure is the corresponding noun. Should it not be Epic Failure, then?

That would take another 7 keystrokes, and in a world of twitface, that just ain't happenin.

BTW, the above grammatical errors were not made on accident.
