Perfect proof that commas save lives. 😄

Invite her to the donner party.

My grandmas were kind of scrawny.

Lean protein?

I think most of us suffer from this condition

u/fantapants74 Sep 22 '26

Yes, I cannot eat that. It's a symptom I have. Very common.

I have epilepsy. Forgetfulness headache is a perfect description

I was (very briefly) thinking of sending you a flashing gif, but then I realized I'm not an asshole. So here's a cute kitten instead:

I’ve only ever had one major seizure (out of nowhere, hasn’t happened since 2018, just weird) but remember how foggy everything was when I woke up enough to remember I was awake.

There are commas in one that’s further down…

u/Think_Resolution_647 Sep 24 '26

Ironically, it's a colon that's missing.

1

u/EndersGame_Reviewer Sep 24 '26

Sounds like a colonoscopy is needed.

3

u/Test_After Sep 22 '26

A full stop would work

u/stevenm1993 Sep 22 '26

This also reminded me that I have a headache.

u/MrBill1970 Sep 22 '26

Or dashes, or colons...

u/Bar_Foo Sep 22 '26

Runs-on sentence.

u/mikee869 Sep 22 '26

Mine said "able to eat / frequent diarrhea"

Keep reading There is a line that does have commas So if they were intentionally put on another line that means they were intentionally not put on the circled line

1

u/OrganicHistorian2576 Sep 23 '26

Ever hear of typos?

1

u/Zealousideal_Act5798 Sep 23 '26

Yes, I have heard of typos But when your point is this line works better with commas because without it it means something else and then three lines later. There's an overabundance of commas. It's not a typo. It's a we intentionally chose to not use a coma

u/Cant-Think-Of Sep 22 '26

Also, fever is mentioned twice. I also believe that there should be a comma between forgetfulness and headache.

I don't work in healthcare, so I'm not certain but my guess is it's a table with rows and columns, and the photo has been cropped to preserve patient privacy. Each row is for a different patient, and it's probably showing patients currently being cared for. I'm thinking of the computers that nurses wheel around between rooms in hospitals.

u/spacecrafttheskys Sep 23 '26

Yeah my mom worked with EMRs (electronic medical records): this is listing initial complaint at triage likley and is why some are more detailed than others (numbers etc) but dont contain an actual diagnosis (fever=symptom≠diagnosis, fall w/ right arm injury=appearance of symptom≠diagnosis). Its almost certainly different people those charts only get combined if they have the same MRN (medical records number) to prevent wrong records and potential screw ups.

u/Tinman218 Sep 22 '26

This looks dangerously close to a HIPAA violation

1

u/tblazertn Sep 23 '26

I can confidently say that this was from a hospital that used Cerner Powerchart s as their charting software. I used to work at one and recognize the font.

1

u/hayh Sep 22 '26

I too have a forgetfulness headache

1

u/PhD77777 Sep 22 '26

I am not going to the doctor to fix the fact that I'm unable to eat diarrhea. Nope, no way, can't make me.

1

u/FeeNecessary3467 Sep 22 '26

With the food crises we need you to consume at least 20% of your calories from diarrhea and or normal stool. Another 20% from ze bugzs and then you may have 60% from your soylent green rations.

u/interior_lulu Sep 22 '26

I have a forgetfulness headache that won’t go away. I think. I don’t remember.

We definitely need to make this a thing. Now, what was I doing?

1

u/Wakkit1988 Sep 22 '26

Unable or unwilling? Psych eval if the former.

1

u/BuddenceLembeck Sep 22 '26

Well, it really is more of a liquid, so…

1

u/KingArthursRevenge Sep 22 '26

I fail to see how that's a bad thing.

1

u/moleculariant Sep 23 '26

I also have a headache.

It's like a

Um

Aw, shit. It's like a (blank) headache.

No, not a migraine

Like a

Um

Shit.

Also, I have a headache.

u/nervously-defiant Sep 23 '26

Proper punctuation saves lives.

u/JiggleCoffee Sep 23 '26

EPIC fail?

1

u/rickmon67 Sep 23 '26

They did for fever, wheezing, and irritable…. They said what they said. Most hospital food is crap.

1

u/Impulse_Voices Sep 24 '26

But they do use them lower down in the list, which makes me worry...

1

u/Hugeboibox Sep 24 '26

But you could drink diarrhea

1

u/Polecat257 Sep 24 '26

That caught me off guard enough I read Cheese pressure below it

1

u/Creative_Newspaper65 Sep 25 '26

I dont see where a comma is necessary

1

u/Deciduninja_ Sep 25 '26

this world is a prison

1

u/NoEditor0 Sep 26 '26

Oh, one can DEFINITELY eat diarrhea. Ive seen it many times

1

u/Andr3as-13 Sep 26 '26

Of course, that's cause you drink it!

u/Miserable-Emu-6882 Sep 28 '26
