About As Per The Patient Chart
This is 250 clinical-grade sarcastic cryptograms for the medical soul. Decode the cipher and you get the line every nurse, doctor and tech has thought at 3 a.m. but is far too professional to say out loud.
Most healthcare gifts are a mug or a tote bag. This one actually gives a worn-out clinician something to do on a break, and it is written by people who understand that charting, call bells and the phrase "quick question" are their own punchlines.
It gifts well for nurse appreciation week, a graduation, a residency milestone, or the moment a friend finishes a stretch of nights. It is part of the Passive Aggressive Puzzle Series, so it has siblings in other exhausted professions.

Frequently asked questions
How many puzzles are in As Per The Patient Chart?
There are 250 sarcastic cryptogram puzzles in the book. That is enough to stretch across a lot of break rooms, commutes and post-shift decompression sessions.
Is this a good gift for a nurse?
Yes, it was written for exactly that. The humor comes from inside healthcare rather than from the outside looking in, so it reads as a knowing nod instead of a generic thank-you. It works for nurse appreciation week, graduations or a friend who just finished a brutal stretch.
Do you need medical training to solve the puzzles?
No. The puzzles are standard cryptograms that anyone can crack with a pencil, and the medical humor is the flavor rather than the barrier. Healthcare workers will just enjoy the punchlines more.
Is the humor appropriate for a workplace gift?
Yes. It is sarcastic and snarky but stays clean, so it can sit in a break room or a nurses' station without an incident report. The target is the job, not the patients.
