Haha I see those used all the time.

I swear people in healthcare are the laziest writers ever. And the worst is when abbreviations are very similar but mean very importantly different things. For example:

qd = once a day
qid = 4 times a day
qod = once every other day

If you have bad handwriting (like all doctors do) then mistakes are inevitable.

It must be for when they get sued, they have deniability... Have you taken the bad handwriting course yet?

Yep, I sure have.

I think it's basically every course we have that slowly contributes to poor handwriting. You write so many notes so quickly that eventually none of it is legible to anyone anymore, including yourself.

My bitch ass annoying thing of the day is that I just took a practice USMLE Step 1 that says I'm ready for the real thing, but my test date is on the 14th.

So now I have to spend the next week keeping myself from forgetting what I already know.

My thing today is I found saw an example using a feature of our current development tool. Two months ago, I had a desperate need for that feature. I spent several weeks trying to figure out if it existed at all and how to work around it once I decided it didn't. Turns out, I had already seen the control to use it, but I discounted it because the context help was misleading. So now that I have a stable workaround, I discover the solution. Sucks.
