Position is responsible for transporting patients and their belongings, hospital equipment, laboratory specimens, expired patient and medical charts to designated areas throughout the hospital campus as needed.


Where it says expired patient.....they don’t mean dead people. Right??

Um.

"Expired patient and medical charts...."

I'm pretty sure the words "patient" and "medical" in this sentence are adjectives describing "charts".

Grammar is important.

I believe it does, yes.

Direct quote from Sunshine Daydream and from your original post, OP: "Expired patient and medical charts...."

I'm pretty sure the words "patient" and "medical" in this sentence are adjectives describing "charts".

So it does actually sound like it's the charting itself.

There is no "Patient charts"... They are just known as Medical charts. They would have been termed "Expired medical charts" ;

Expired patients means dead people.

Expired patients means dead people.
But the word "patient" is not plural. If the OP has transcribed it exactly as it appears in the ad, either someone made a typo or the word "patient" is referring to a type of chart. Or the OP transcribed incorrectly. In any case, grammar is important.
