Doctors and nurses look at the chart and put them back before leaving the room. Charts should never leave the patient. It prevents problems like this. Also always check patient ID wristbands. Just pretend you are checking their IV or pulse monitor so they don't feel like you forgot who they are.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not only that, they're supposed to double-check your name and date of birth to make sure the paperwork wasn't switched for spme reason
Yup. I go to an office run by Mayo. Introductions from anyone entering the room go like: "How are you? Good? Good. Can I get your last name and date of birth?"
They look down at whatever piece of paper they're holding and make sure it matches. I figure it helps prevent all kinds of accidents.
This is a prequel to loss, right?
So I don't have to ask the question, then?
