"FEVER 102,WHEEZING, IRRITABLE" uses them.

It might probably be "unabe to eat diarrhea" on purpouse

Yeah, someone's just having a bit of fun.

Unless there are multiple people registering patients, and one of them doesn't use punctuation.

It seems very likely that this drop-down menu was not populated by one person, or perhaps was even populated by multiple databases written by very different people with highly disparate levels of grammar knowledge - maybe even different first languages.

Or someone thought it was funny, like you said. I'm not here to judge.

The only cure for "unable to eat diarrhea" is to put the patient into an induced comma.

Explains the irritability.

Unnecessary, commas are annoying.

Comma for what? I also am unable to eat diarrhea

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

The database is running on an IBM made in 1954. Commas literally weren't invented yet.

Ah the old helping your uncle jack off a horse or helping your uncle, jack, off a horse.

Wait, do you guys not add that to your character sheets?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

They're not wrong, tho

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I, too, am unable to eat diarrhea. Should I go to the hospital?

[–] BigRedUndead 4 points 6 months ago

Oh, come on, you’re not even trying

Use commas?

You made a point.
