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

[User1626266]

You answered a question in sarcastic way.

I would have to write that you were being sarcastic.

Otherwise my patient notes would say

"When asked how she was feeling, patient stated that she was feeling great."

If you were being sarcastic then the notes would be wholly inaccurate.

Thinly veiled bash HCP thread- wait for it

No, I think the op is someone who always uses MN to moan about HCP but not in the goady way.

No I wouldn't, I'm a professional and I just write the facts. I don't write my opinion of the consultation.

Unless it was a psychiatric consultation and this was important to the facts.

You could write your own notes next to the sarcasm comment , such as 'I was actually pissed off, not sarcastic'.

So you answered "great".

If that was true, then yes, I would be annoyed if the HCP then recorded that it was sarcastic.

If it was sarcastic, what's your issue? That the HCP is recording the consultation accurately? 🙄

Sometimes, people just need to grow up.

Context is everything and depends on the type of HCP.

YABU

Don’t be sarcastic when asked medical questions, it’s pointless and childish. Respond like an adult and the HCP won’t need to note that you were being sarcastic.

If this was for MH, it is absolutely essential to write it was sarcastic.
Context is everything.

YABU.

Imagine it’s 5 years from now and a different HCP wants to review your condition over time. If you were not actually ‘great’ then simply recording it without comment would send them down the wrong path.

As a health professional, I have a patient who always answers this but so clearly is not and the passive agressive vibe is overbearing for a problem that is probably not fixable.

In that context I think you meant you weren't great ? In which case they needed to put in context otherwise it would read you felt great when you didn't. Perhaps they could have said you said it ironically but maybe the other word sprang to mind first. I actually think it is ok to write someone is sarcastic if that is how they presented themselves. It might have a bearing on the service received/provided at some point. Best for everyone just to be polite and say what they mean. Ditto with people always needing to reply with a joke or comment that slightly throws you off guard or you can't understand immediately (FIL prime example of this )

You aren't really giving enough information

Not enough information- but context is everything. I do a lot of autism assessments so it would certainly be relevant to note that something used sarcasm.

So, were you being sarcastic OP or did you actually feel great? If the former then it would be wrong for the HCP to blandly record that you’d said you felt great. If you were being sincere then there’s a problem.

Is anyone else remembering Baddiel and Newman’s “Ray, the man afflicted with a sarcastic tone of voice”?

Can you provide further information & context OP? Otherwise all replies on your thread are meaningless.
