Mark:

I have a couple books full of these kinds of things at home. These

sound like they have come from a Medical Transcription Bloopers book

or something. Unfortunately these things do get on charts and its

either a matter of the doctors dictating things incorrectly and the

trasncriptionists not putting them in sensible order OR the

transcriptionist typing what she hears and not paying attention!

Thus, the rectal examination and thyroid! Although the doc could

have had a bad day and the transcriptionist didn't catch it!

Take care
