There was a thread the other day about "problem words" -- I had totally forgotten about this one until it popped up yesterday.

I type medical reports and this one comes up fairly often. Thought I would share my "problem" word with you.

If you have an infected wound, it has "pus" drainage, correct? So if the doctor dictates "pus-sy" drainage from the wound --- there are so many ways to take that word. scared shocked surprised ill

And, no I do not type it that way, I change the sentence around and use "pus," not "pus-sy." slaphead surprised

Thought I could get a smile or at least a smirk out of some of you.
Ummm, if you are eating dinner, I humbly apologize. :wink: noway sick laugh

I've seen it used in that context a few times, and I always have to go back and reread it....!

Some doctors will ask you to make sure not to type it that way, others just say it and I catch it and turn the sentence around.

Hmmmm, poor person has "kitty" drainage from their wound. laugh :wink:

Hahahahaha! I remember this in nursing school and taking notes. Everyone would stop at the same time and erase pus-sy. Purulent drainage works!

Thanks for the laugh!!!

The lady next door was searching for an excuse to go back inside the house . She had been standing outside talking to her next door neighbour.

I overheard her say
Sorry I've got to go, the pus-sy's feeding time

Yeah, have had some pretty good notes come up when I was typing
x-rays at a big hospital. You wouldn't believe what jail inmates will eat to try to get out of jail, didn't work though, took their
x-ray and sent them back laugh.

And, what some men will "insert" and "lose" and have to go under general anesthetic to have retrieved. Yikes!!!!! sick noway

Yeah, you'd be surprised to see what some people will try to take into prison, and how they try to sneak them in.

Had some of the women sneaking in smokes, Chapsticks, jewelry, lighters, etc., in baggies, you can guess where. Men tried it too, but not quite as "much" at one time, laugh laugh.

Wonder and Wander are two that I know used to upset one person greatly. He would even post the defintions for both, and use them in sentences, some people I think did it on purpose to upset him.
