And that's because I work in this field and I cannot imagine walking around being like, hey guys, we should really, you know, do this and having everyone buy into it. It's just not how kind of things work. We all have our own set of, you know, principles. We all have our different specialty. We all have things we're coming in with previous experience.
And to me, the word knowingly, and I'm going to ask you kind of what you think after, but this idea of intentionality, right? That it was intentional, right? you knew you were lying and you lied, or you knew you were falsifying and you falsified. So to me, that is, I am looking at a lab result that says a child's hemoglobin is low, meaning his blood count is low or he has anemia.

And I knowingly look at my report and I'm like, well, patient's blood count was normal for age. Something that is so drastically, it is right in front of you and you are writing it a different way. To me, that is knowingly intentionally falsifying. The thing is, a lot of medicine is still subjective, meaning you can have three x-rays, 100 labs, and you're looking at everything.

And it's kind of how you, based on experience, based on knowledge, based on your specialty, how all that ties together into a diagnosis is not so objective all the time. And so I think, again, the way things are worded or the way someone interprets Information. That's why you have another side of the story. Right. It doesn't mean they're right or wrong.

It means that in their medical opinion, this is like how to interpret this data. And so I think it's that intentionality that I know they say because it makes it more a stronger case, I think. But what what are your thoughts?

And I think we put stuff into the medical record. We know that is forever discoverable, forever there. It is not hearsay. It is, you wrote the words. So again, I think we, I would hope most physicians are doing that with a I am not going to write something that I did not see with my own eyes.

It is something I know I heard and that usually someone also heard, like meaning a resident was with me and can also document that they heard it or a, you know, nurse was in the room. And when you say in quotes, you mean like mom says.

And again, I would only quote the part that they said. That is something that goes back to my training, but also I could see where that could be human error. So I think having another, you know, having someone else there and being able to say the same thing or also being able to document in a note what they heard, I think is useful. Because it is going to turn he said, she said at that point.
