Hello, this is Michelle.
NURSE
[some international accent]
Doctor! You need to clarify discharge order!
ME
Why, what's wrong with it?
NURSE
You write "discharge to home hospice!"
ME
Yes.
NURSE
So which is it? Home or hospice??
ME
It's home hospice. It's one thing.
NURSE
No, I don't understand. What address do we send patient to?
ME
You send him home.
NURSE
But that's not home hospice!
ME
Hospice will come visit him at home.
NURSE
Doctor, I need an address to send patient to.
ME
[looking in patient's electronic chart]
1234 Main St. Los Angeles.
NURSE
That's his home address!
ME
Exactly.
NURSE
But!!
ME
You know what, never mind, I will come write a new order.
