Well, I caught another Rhythm interpretation screw-up and it's a doozy. From what I can see, nobody really cares, but I have fun doing the research and exposing the fraud.
.
Here's my report:
It bothers me
When I do see,
A misinterpreted
EKG,
I can give a pass
To untrained Docs,
Who specialize
In Chicken Pox,
But Cardiac nurses
And their monitor crew,
Should nail every rhythm
In their purview,
Because that is a skill
Required of them,
And when they blow the rhythm
I say, "Ahem"!
How could you call that strip
Atrial Flutter,
When there is a "P"
"T" and "U" wave
You're some kind of nutter,
A rhythm so slow
With a triplicate block,
'Twas not even A. Fib
You got your head in a sock.
Ah, woe is me
And Auntie Em,
Under the watchful eyes
Of the likes of them.

Sounds like knowledge of the patient's history obscured interpretation. Reminds me of all the incidental appendectomies that I scrubbed on 40+ years ago because appendicitis was on the surgeon's mind even if there was no sign of inflammation.
So true
