Working in a hospital environment can be routine at times and yet, it can be serious with life-or-death situations at play every moment. It can be stressful and sometimes frenetic with doctors, surgeons, nurses, and staff all working in synergy to take care of the sick.  While these doctors and caregivers are practically superheros because they’re in the business of saving lives, we know that they’re not infallible either. To prove that, we’ve compiled thirty of the funniest things that were actually written in hospital patients’ charts!
