I spoke with one patient, a forty-something Hispanic woman, and hoped she had the flu so I could give her the same advice I received from a doctor in reality a few weeks ago. No luck. She was there to talk about having  her varicose veins removed. I told her it couldn&#8217;t be done and then wrote the same on her chart. I took her folder out of the room to the  receptionist station to be filed, but then I realized if anyone saw what I had written, they would know I was bogus. I asked one of the ladies working with me to put the file on my desk and I figured I could look up the correct way to mark a medical record on the Internet  later.
