Typo or humour? Discharge letter from hospital to my GP LIGHTHEARTED!

[AnyWalls]

Anywalls "showed no signs of cognitive impairment. She appeared oriented and a good historian."

For reference, this was after a bang on the head (where I may or may not have fallen over my own feet, whacked my head on the kerb and been treated for concussion).

I have no recollection of reciting historical facts to the doctor lol. Could it be a typo of some sort?

If so, any guesses as to what it's a typo of?

Three days after giving birth and still in hospital, I was utterly convinced I was on a college course, and wondered what on earth I was doing on a residential trip having just had a baby. It had been almost 20 years since I was at college.

My MIL has dementia and early on, while she was still in her own home she thought she'd been burgled by three women as she sat in her living room. Had the police round and the local paper ran a front page story about this awful crime on an elderly lady. We eventually concluded it never happened.

It's the term doctors use to say that you remember what happened well, as opposed to someone who was hazy on details and thus may require further attention

@Parly, love your points! However, I would ask that you DO teach your students/juniors to document bourbon biscuit consumption - really helps when we get called with concerns about "?coffee ground vomit"!

@TheInventorofToasterStreudel

You're absolutely right but my ranting and raving about the cake / biscuits was because we had a separate small file and chart for logging all food and drink.

Drove me nuts how and why people would complete full nutritional charts / records AND add the same info to daily records / reports.

I'm so precious about paperwork though if Judge Rinder were to meet me he'd go "Jeeeezz... she's full-on"
