From Monica Karpecki

c) syntactic ambiguity
Discharge status: Patient was alive, but left the hospital without permission.

d) vagueness + semantic ambiguity  "his rapid heart had stopped"
By the time he was admitted, his heart began beating normally, and he was feeling better.

e) vagueness/"something else"
In their will, the patient did not agree to an autopsy upon death.

f) syntactic ambiguity
With the except of a 40 lb weight gain, the patient's medical history has been remarkably insignificant to us during the past three days.

g) semantic ambiguity
The patient left the hospital feeling better and without her original complaints. 

h) semantic ambiguity
"grew out"
