    Yes those who work in hospitals and nursing homes are often in such a hurry to get thier charting done that they have little time to think through what they are saying. It is a get the facts down and move on world of work for them. The good news is that most of them are truly caring or they never would have chosen the profession. Give a cheer for nurses, doctors, and home health aides. Yeah!!!!!!
