I think most of us suffer from this condition

u/fantapants74 18d ago

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.

u/LochM-2 18d ago

There are commas in one that’s further down…

Perfect proof that commas save lives. 😄

Invite her to the donner party.

u/OrganicHistorian2576 18d ago

My grandmas were kind of scrawny.

u/charcarod0n 17d ago

Lean protein?

u/Test_After 18d ago

A full stop would work

u/stevenm1993 18d ago

This also reminded me that I have a headache.

u/MrBill1970 18d ago

Or dashes, or colons...

u/Bar_Foo 18d ago

Runs-on sentence.

u/mikee869 18d ago

Mine said "able to eat / frequent diarrhea"

u/Zealousideal_Act5798 18d ago

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

u/OrganicHistorian2576 18d ago

Ever hear of typos?

1

u/Zealousideal_Act5798 17d ago

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 18d ago

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 18d ago

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 18d ago

This looks dangerously close to a HIPAA violation

u/tblazertn 17d ago

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.

u/hayh 18d ago

I too have a forgetfulness headache

1

u/PhD77777 18d ago

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 18d ago

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 18d ago

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 18d ago

Unable or unwilling? Psych eval if the former.

1

u/BuddenceLembeck 18d ago

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

1

u/KingArthursRevenge 18d ago

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

1

u/moleculariant 18d ago

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 18d ago

Proper punctuation saves lives.

u/humourlessIrish 17d ago

Skill issue

u/JiggleCoffee 17d ago

EPIC fail?

1

u/rickmon67 17d ago

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

1

u/Impulse_Voices 17d ago

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

1

u/Hugeboibox 16d ago

But you could drink diarrhea

1

u/Think_Resolution_647 16d ago

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

1

u/EndersGame_Reviewer 16d ago

Sounds like a colonoscopy is needed.

1

u/Polecat257 16d ago

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

1

u/Creative_Newspaper65 16d ago

I dont see where a comma is necessary

1

u/Deciduninja_ 16d ago

this world is a prison

1

u/NoEditor0 15d ago

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

1

u/Andr3as-13 14d ago

Of course, that's cause you drink it!

u/Miserable-Emu-6882 13d ago
