Hospital tells grandfather, 71, that he's pregnant
Quote:
PORTLAND, Ore. - A patient treated for agonizing abdominal pain received this surprising news in the hospital's paperwork: "Based on your visit today, we know you are pregnant." Surprising indeed for 71-year-old John Grady Pippen.

The staff at Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach gave the retired mechanic and logger the ridiculously happy news this month, along with some pain pills.

Hospital administrator William McMillan says an errant keystroke caused the hospital's computer to spit out the wrong discharge instructions for the grandfather.
Source.

Now that's something to go home and tell the wife and kids (and grandkids) about.

At the very least, the world must suffer yet another episode of Oprah ... or Ellen ... or fill in your bush league talk show bimbo. Damn.

Wow...a doctor that would just read that off of the chart should be immediately terminated at best.

And TERMINATED at worst.
