Lol! That is so cute! Poor darling.
Those are pretty funny, but as a medical typist I will put a word in for unintelligable dictation, the rest I will take, though I am not guilty myself, I have seen some funny/stupid things.

'Rectal examination revealed a normal size thyroid'.
Now if that doesn't bring tears to your eyes nothing will.
Those really made me laugh - I'm going to read them again.
Thanks.
