This is not unusual
It is not an usual side effect to lose hair after anethesia. However, major surgery can also set off other problems, such as hypothyroidism, which is also notorious for hair loss. If I were you, I would see my PCP and get some routine labs checked, just in case.
unusual
I want to know if this ever happened to anyone's file. This appeared in the middle of an office note

Is this unusual or am I not alone?
I have had the strangest thing happen to me about how my MT career is going. Up until about a year ago, I felt very secure in my career, working for a hospital for a long time. After they let our incentive go, I got into a couple of jobs with services where it seemed like something was wrong with each. Line counts not right, no work available, etc. I finally am working as an IC with a decent company, however, when I first started there they were running out of work constantly. So, I have 3 accounts now, and I see they are hiring again.
My problem is this: I have this fear that I will never again be able to feel comfortable in my job. I keep looking for other jobs to go alongside this one in case we run out of work again. But, my doc says one job is enough, or I get stressed out. This is ever since the last year when I was tossed about between services. But I keep looking to see if I can find that 1 job where I don't have to worry anymore. I would take it along side this for long enough to know that this other new job would provide the security I seek.
Yet, when I get a second job, I am afraid of having 2, so I stick with the IC and regret that I did not try. Any suggestions? I am not asking for a million dollars, or even a guarantee that the job be 100% perfect. I just want to be comfortable in the knowledge that I can have a decent paycheck and feed my kids without worrying from day to day will there be work? Are they over-hiring again? Should I indeed quit looking for that job and settle with my phobias, or should I trust my instinct, keep looking and finally overlap the 2 for a while (in spite of the doc's warnings of stress) and perhaps get a better job?
Thanks in advance for your comments. I am so confused, because I have never in my life experienced such a lack of trust in my job and a possible new job.
Unusual names
I feel your pain, but they don't have to be foreign. What about Dakota? Is that a boy, a girl or the family truck? I know I shouldn't laugh. A dear friend has a lovely little boy with that name. It's just that when you're typing a report without a genital exam, how can you tell?
I used to be director of medical records in a tiny rural hospital, so I typed up the birth certificates. Here are some of my all-time personal favorites:
Caboose. A little boy, the 8th child. Mom didn't care what the Pope said, this was it and she had a tubal.
Princess Leia. The original Star Wars had just come out.
Vagina. Yeah, you read that right! A little girl. Nobody could change mom's mind. That was an interesting call from the Health Department!
Bambi. I know, it's more common than I thought. Great for a little kid who can't talk yet, but I have no picture of her 98 and in a nursing home.
Actually, my coworkers weren't any better. We threatened to provide a "name your baby service" for the parents who just couldn't come up with a name after 8-9 months of thinking about it. The Wolf twins were going to be Timber and Gray. The Fruit triplets were going to be Grape, Passion and Juicy. No, we never really did that, but we were tempted.
Hope you had a good laugh. You deserve it!
Unusual clinical history...
"The patient is status post gunshot wound to the head now complaining of headaches." Yes, bullets tend to cause headaches, I'm sure!

Fun way to learn to type and brush up on your skills.
Doc's mispronounce all the time. This is not unusual. The reason sm
they pay us what the do is so that we insert the correct spelling and know what they are saying. You'll get better at this with experience.
Unusual word turned simple.
I just started work in a hospital and this doc, a Chinese gynecologist who is MY DOCTOR, was saying "peewah". I finally realized, it was "period"! Good heavens, I thought I was losing it and was going to have to find a new doctor in the process. I love him, but that word was making me crazy.(period or peewah, whatever you prefer) Zoinks!
What's your problem? The OP said her docs transcribe. That is unusual.

Does not sound like $$ problems, just that they do not want to pay every 2 weeks. Unusual for billi

Yes, ergonomic...geez, didn't think it was that unusual to say split. lol

It's not unusual for a patient listed as allergic to penicillin to be given it anyway.
Often it's the only drug that will work and the allergy was vague and from so long ago, they deliberately try it anyway. If that had been the case, you'd have more than likely gotten a very negative response.
My doctor just gave me a very unusual patient name and didn't spell it,
then she's trying to read the date of discharge and says, "God, can't anybody write? You're going to have hold off on that because I really can't read any of this."
Hmmm, doc, it's just like YOUR DICTATION.....couldn't you at least spell the name or say it twice the SAME WAY within 2 sentences.
Okay, I'm done venting now.
