I work in a medical setting, poring through patient charts day after day after day after day after...where was I.
Sometimes the transcriptions for the chart notes gets outsourced to other countries, such as India. This can make for some entertaining malapropisms.
One caught my eye this week. The doctor surely meant to say, "The patient has outlived the influence of their genetic history." The transcription report that I read said:
Patient has outlived their genetic usefulness.
That made me think. Is there a point where we outlive our usefulness? Does it matter?

Ha, our chart notes aren't usually outsourced, but offer equally awesome malapropisms. :o)
