PORTLAND, Ore. - A patient treated for agonizing abdominal pain received this surprising news in the hospital's paperwork: "Based on your visit today, we know you are pregnant." Surprising indeed for 71-year-old John Grady Pippen.

The staff at Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach gave the retired mechanic and logger the ridiculously happy news this month, along with some pain pills.


Hospital administrator William McMillan says an errant keystroke caused the hospital's computer to spit out the wrong discharge instructions for the grandfather.








A little disappointing that he's not really pregnant, I know. But it made me smile nonetheless. :)

It really annoys me when people act like that
first of all there human they make mistakes same as you
second of all there swamped with a ton of patients and a mountain of paper work everyday
third it was a simple typo into the computer which printed off a standardized response

Jeez people. They ht the wrong key! Look! I just did it right there! (That was a legit mistake)

Seriously, anybody can make mistakes. How would you like it if people started calling you an idiot if you accidentally hit the wrong key?

We need a little more respect.

Anyway, yes, it was funny, but a good thing it was a typo. That would be painful...
