I suspect that, if true, it was clarified further down the line before treatment. Or, considering how I've been in-and-out of the ER, the nurse just wrote down 'human bite' regardless of what the patient claimed lmao.
Like I said. It's the internet. I'm not saying it's definitely real. But it's far from impossible.
She would chart the cause as accurately as she can; whether she also writes down the obvious lie is up to her. Which means she would write down "human bite"; not because it's best for the patient, not because of liability, but because every other staff member (nurses and doctors included) would laugh at her if she didn't. Nurses got a pecking order, and writing down obvious nonsense in a patient's chart is a good way to drop ranks.
