One horror story is when a homeowner built a small shed in their backyard without a permit. Later, when they were selling their house, the inspector noticed it. They had to either pay a hefty fine to get it legalized or tear it down, which was a big financial loss.
A family added an extra room to their house without proper permitting. Years later, during a major storm, some damage occurred. When they tried to claim insurance, the insurance company refused because the unpermitted structure was a violation. They were left with a damaged room and no help to fix it, all because they didn't follow the proper permitting process.

I politely said I was just a visitor. But she gave me this look like she thought I was lying. It made me feel so awkward. I guess it's because I was standing still and looking like I was knowledgeable. However, it really put a damper on my day as I then felt self - conscious about just being in the museum.

EMS Documentation Horror Stories: Share Your Experiences
One horror story could be when important medical information was missing from the EMS documentation. For example, a patient had a known allergy that wasn't noted. This led to the hospital staff being unaware and almost administering a drug that could have caused a severe reaction. Another case could be where the time of key events was inaccurately recorded. This made it difficult to determine the proper sequence of treatments and how quickly the patient's condition had deteriorated or improved.
