a real memo sent from some unknown hospital, couldnt make this up if i tried:
***A FORWARDED MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF MEDICAL RESIDENTS***
Hello all,
Recently an issue of medical student notes has come up. Here are some important clarifications-
There should be a full note by the resident (or intern supervising) - progress notes and H&P. Medical students’ notes are “essentially invisible”, so cannot be just countersigned.

just take out the word 'note' and that is how i feel. thanks CMRs. at least you are honest.
