Gary:
     I think that you and I are thinking along the same lines, but just
expressing it differently. As for the notion that "if you wrote it you
did it": if someone does it often enough, people will start to notice
and that person better watch out. That's falsifying a medical record -
other than being illegal, which it probably is, consider that we live in
a very letigious society: anyone in the healthcare field is likely to
end up in a court of law sometime during their career. If your notes say
something, but there is evidence that you did something else (other
person's testimony, physical evidence, etc.), that throws your defense
(your notes) out the window. And you've lost your case (as well as your
professional credentials).
