Reading a medical chart 1 by moonwise Would a chart be read for the assigned time of surgery? Or would it be read for the time it began? Have 2 charts for same surgery one time is 7:00 in the morning - time patient was assigned and went to hospital. The other is 10:45 in the morning - last thing patient saw was clock on wall prior to being given anesthia. I'm assuming that the later time when the patient went into theatre is the correct chart, but I have no experience in reading medical charts. Patient wants to know if everything is resolved forever. No more surgery, no hospital, at least on this issue. Quote Tue Feb 04, 2014 5:42 pm
