PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - 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.

AHAAAA,He’s just been telling his wife he’s was going to work in the woods logging. I bet he’ll try to make her believe it was because he was on bottom the last time. UH, how’s he going to deliver this baby ?
