PORTLAND, Ore. - A patient treated for agonizing abdominal pain received
this surprising news in the hospital's paperwork: "Based on your
visit today, we know you are pregnant."
Surprising indeed for 71-year-old John Grady Pippen.
The staff at Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach gave the retired
mechanic and logger the ridiculously happy news this month, along with
some pain pills.
Hospital administrator William McMillan says an errant keystroke caused
the hospital's computer to spit out the wrong discharge instructions
for the grandfather.
