A little over a year ago, I began blogging, and soon after, I heard about this group of writers who do a monthly blog hop. I decided to join, and I quickly realized what an incredibly supportive community of writers the IWSG is. I sometimes don't know what to write for my IWSG post, because let's face it, I don't want to be a downer just because some of my dreams have yet to be fulfilled. I want to remain positive, and that's why I look forward to visiting your blogs and reading your comments on my own posts. This past year, all of you IWSGers have uplifted, encouraged, supported, and inspired me. So, thank you.
And to show my appreciation, I've decided to do a GIVEAWAY! I believe this is the first giveaway I've done on my own personal blog (I hosted some on Unicorn Bell a while back and obviously I do giveaways for other writers), so I'm super excited!
But first, I think it's only appropriate to share some writing funnies with you. These kinds of things always crack me up! So, here goes:
Medical Bloopers from Medical Charts (Source)
- The baby was delivered, the cord clamped and cut, and handed to the pediatrician, who breathed and cried immediately.
- Exam of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized.
- She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life until 1989 when she got a divorce.
- Whilst in Casualty she was examined, X-rated and sent home.
- The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed.
- Discharge status: Alive but without permission.
- Healthy-appearing, decrepit 69 year old male, mentally alert but forgetful.
- The patient has no past history of suicides.
Hehe. Did you laugh like I did? :)

Kristin, that post brightened my day! I can't believe some of those things were actually written! Glad you're enjoying being part of the IWSG :) - I've been a member for a few years now, and I still look forward to it every month!
ReplyDeleteCircus sized - funny!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a year of blogging and really glad you found the IWSG.
I started my blog in 2013 and only discovered IWSG last year. And I'm glad I did because I look forward to the first Wednesday of every month. Everyone's so nice and supportive. Hurray for internet friends!
ReplyDeleteHey Kristin:)
ReplyDeleteI think every guy will laugh at that "circus sized" quote... that is too funny:)
Thanks for the laughs and enjoy the month "off" from the lunA-Zy :)
Very funny! I work in the medical field and those "typos" are more common than you'd think. Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a writer!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! Circus sized send the mind wandering!!
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog look. It's so pretty!
"Circus sized." Hahaha. That made me laugh the most... XD
ReplyDeleteAnd how cool of you to do a giveaway! :D
*groan* You almost have to wonder if some joker did those on purpose.
ReplyDelete*LOL* Those are hilarious! Thank you for the laugh. I do wonder what circus sized actually means. I love the IWSG too. What an amazing group! :)
ReplyDeleteISWG is awesome! I don't know what I'd do without my monthly writers' group hug. And I love the new lay-out of your blog. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteToo frigging funny!!! So I laughed at all of them but . . . "but alive without permission" hee hee hee
Congrats on a year of blogging. Loving the new look! :)
IDK but when I read this "Discharge status: Alive but without permission." I think of Al and Peggy Bundy from Married w/ Children. But yes IWSG is really a great community of writers-bloggers. Wished I'd signed up much sooner.
ReplyDeleteVery good! Loved the laugh. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI love how supportive the writing community generally is.
ReplyDeleteAnd those were so funny!
Ha! Those are really fun!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYep. Laughed at each one. :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine. For 11 years, I worked on an IT help desk for the Dept. of Health in the bureau that licenses medical professionals. We had a lot of nurses and paramedics working with us (doing things like surveys and investigations of healthcare facilities). For people who attend so much school and have so much medical knowledge, they sure are lacking in other areas!
ReplyDeleteHee, hee! Great funnies. I think "Alive but without permission" cracked me up the most. Yay for the IWSG! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThose were all hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smile. Great way to start the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome to meet you! And thanks for the lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI followed back :)
Love the medical bloopers. Here's one for you: "The patient refused autopsy."
ReplyDeleteha, loved this and needed the laugh!!
ReplyDeleteThe circus-sized made me laugh so hard!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to give the medical profession a pass on the bloopers because I believe they're rushed and put up with a lot. But that doesn't mean I didn't grin. :-) Congratulations! And hang in there.with your dreams.
ReplyDeleteI love being part of IWSG. Funny list! :D
ReplyDeleteThe medical bloopers are funny. It always makes me wonder, if the people saying this stuff doesn't pick up on first. But, I guess not and it's here for us to laugh over. :D It's nice to meet you through the A2Z hop (via Alex J. Cavanaugh)!
