  A collection of documentation statements actually found on patient's 
charts during a recent review of medical records. These statements were 
written by various health care professionals including (we are afraid) a 
doctor or two at several major hospitals.

The baby was delivered, the cord clamped and cut, and handed to the 
pediatrician, who breathed and cried immediately.

when she got a divorce. 

Between you and me, we ought to be able to get this lady pregnant.

Angeles.
