Typos

We dictate our hospital consults, which is then transcribed by a medical transcriptionist for us to sign digitally. Though these aren't as funny as the ones you read elsewhere, here are my collection of medical typos in the last year.

• The patient was found to have a surprised TSH- suppressed
• Suggest I131 radioactive ion ablation- iodine
• The city coloring sticks of the mass suggests this to be a benign adenoma- CT characteristics
• Most likely to be postsurgical central diabetes mellitus ancipitious- diabetes insipidus
• Given the context in which the labs were found, I suspect this to be thick euwthyroid syndrome- sick euthyroid syndrome
• He had decreased breast sounds in the right base- breath
• The parathyroid sister's needy- parathyroid sestamibi

But I think the one that takes the cake was the physician whose dictation ended up with the patient being sent home with homo two (home O2).
