Ophthalmology MO with not so very good Engrishh

So my friends and I were going through our patient's charts before the rounds as per usual. We were reading through the notes for this baby girl with congenital glaucoma (totally blind in both eyes - poor thing) who was referred to us because she fell off her cot and hit her head (to rule out cerebral concussion / bleed).
The documentation of the event went like this:

"baby alleged fell from bed when no bady there
mother and father in bathroom together at that time
PPK and staff nurse heard sound of the thing fell down
went to bedside when hear baby cry"

Oh my god!!!!
You are an MO for god's sake! Did you learn English from the toilet store? Imagine if this goes to court. What an embarrassment.
