A progress note is a document in the medical record that is copied and pasted over and over again so that all progress notes look exactly the same[1][2], which is worth it even if the case goes to court because doing so saved valuable time. Two exceptions are the Ortho progress note, which is often blank to 3 words long[3][4], and the Ophtho progress note, which has been until now indecipherable until the discovery of a missing Rosetta Stone fragment.[5]
