Sir, the results show that you’re pregnant

We’ve all heard stories of blood and medical test results being mixed up, but for a 71-year-old grandfather, he may just take first prize in the mix-up category.
John Grady Pippen went to the hospital because he was having severe abdominal pain and after he was seen and treated, he received some pain medications and discharge instructions. The discharge instructions he was given, however, told him he was pregnant, congratulated him and then discussed what he should be doing for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Luckily for John, he’s not pregnant, and it wasn’t a misdiagnosis. It was a keyboard data entry error that caused the wrong discharge instructions to be given out. Good thing for John – not only would he be the first male to be pregnant (I don’t consider the woman who was going for a sex change but decided to get pregnant as a man), he’d also be the oldest person to give birth.

The Biblical record disputes your claim that he would be the oldest person to give birth.
Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” Genesis 17:17
Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Genesis 21:2
From Marijke: Uh…ok…I didn’t realize that I’d have that post picked apart but if it makes you happy…
peter, that it only possibly true
it is not proven scientific fact, there are no artifacts or witnesses
therefore, it is just faith and belief that those people even existed, and so the grandfather would have been the oldest person ever
Poor guy! I can imagine he won’t be using that hospital anymore. He probably did get a good laugh out of it all though. LOL
