H&P Fumbles: Vitals?

Me: The eye and ear exam were normal.

Partner: The pupils were equal and reactive to light. All cranial nerves appear intact.

Me: The heart sounded good with a regular rate and rhythm, no murmurs.

Partner: Lungs were clear bilaterally to auscultation....

Doctor: Hold on, back up, what were his vitals?

Partner and I look at each other frantically. Doctor mentally facepalms.
