To ask if you would be annoyed if a health care professional wrote that

[User1626266]

You answered a question in sarcastic way.

[clpsmum]

Yes I would

[Furrybootsyecomfy]

Depends if I had or not.

[lurker101]

Not if I had

[Elouera]

Depends on the question and circumstances, but in most cases I'd assume you mean a patient was filling out a medical form which has professional meaning and purpose. Not to wrote down your next comedy sketch!

[U2HasTheEdge]

Not if I did answer the question in a sarcastic way, no.

[l2b2]

Not if it was true.

[ReverendRicketyCricket]

Context is everything OP. Can you give us a clue what you're talking about?

[jacks11]

Depends on context and whether you were sarcastic or not. It may be appropriate in some situations to record verbatim/quotes from what a patient has said and how it was said.

Did you reply sarcastically? If you did, I’m not sure that you would have much to be annoyed about. If you feel it is inaccurate, then perhaps you might have more reason to be irritated.

I’d not be annoyed, I’d would think it says a lot about the questionable professionalism of that “professional” rather than you. And if it’s in your notes, and signed, most other professionals who read it will almost certainly question it, judging the author rather than you.

[User1626266]

They asked how I was I responded great.

[NailsNeedDoing]

Depends on the circumstances and the question that was being asked. I can imagine a situation where a health professional might need to record that they have asked a patient a particular question, and the answer the patient gives. If that answer can’t be trusted because it was said in a sarcastic tone, then that would be worth recording too.

[Giantrooster]

I would be wary, could mean they hint at you being 'difficult'.

[SnarkyBag]

Really depends on context and what the question and answer was.

To be honest I can’t imagine a situation where it’s ever helpful or productive to respond to a question in a healthcare situation sarcastically

[Lochmorlich]

Were you great?
Or were you being sarcastic?

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Did they clarify how you really were? Why weren’t you honest if you weren’t great?

[BackforGood]

Context needed.

[SnarkyBag]

Cross posts.

Was it a sarcastic “great”? If so they can’t just put patient stated they were great and leave it at that if they knew that’s not what you meant. Patients notes have to be clear and accurate in case any aspect is ever question

[BramStoker]

Was your response of 'great' sarcastic?

I would only be annoyed if it wasn't accurate

[DumplingsAndStew]

Yeah, we're gonna need a bit more than that...

[mynameiscalypso]

Is this a MH HCP? I would expect them to record it if so.

[maddening]

Actually, being that it is subjective eg they may have misinterpreted the tone, I beleive that this not a professional approach and should not be in the patients notes.

[Hankunamatata]

Were you being sarcastic? Was this mental health professional?

[Furrybootsyecomfy]

Sometimes HCPs have to record subjective opinion to try and produce a holistic account of the patient though.
For example,
“Mr Green appeared dishevelled and smelled strongly of urine...” is a subjective opinion.
“When asked how she was feeling, Ms Smith rolled her eyes and replied “oh, great!”. Her tone indicates sarcasm.”
Depending on what you’re trying to assess, these details (within reason) can be important. If a patient replies “great” clearly meaning “not very great at all”, the HCP can hardly think “Oh well, she said great, best be off then.”

This.

[sleepylittlebunnies]

If the professional is being professional then they should make it clear in their documentation that it’s their opinion that you were sarcastic rather than fact. Unless they asked you to clarify and you confirmed you were being sarcastic, then they can state it as fact.
