Say that again?

Clinically speaking, that diagnosis sucks. My husband has dermatomyositis but it took a rheumatologist to come up with that diagnosis. Clinically speaking of course.
Is this one of those cases where the practicing neurologist needs to fill space on a report page? *wry*
Or does it just mean the neurologist needs a thesaurus? ;)
Someone is dictating without clearly thinking about what they are saying before saying it. He/She probably isn't listening to the recording or reading the report afterwards
I think I see a new direction for my writing career . . . I'd never thought of editing inter-office communication before.
department of redundancy department. damn!
I like how he says "I think he has it". Very undoctorlike
You're right. It should be:
"By Jove! I think he's got it!"
Suzanne: Perhaps you meant "inter-office intercourse" ? ;)
So, what he's saying is that it's a clinically clinical clinic diagnosis from a patient that presented in the clinic?
LOL...word verify: astma
Sounds awfully clinical to me.
Just what the heck is Dermatomyositis anyway?. I'd better get googling and find out. Maybe I've got it....
I think the doctor should have thrown in a few more Clinicals in there. I mean, there can never be enough clinical clinicality, clinically speaking. However, at the clinic, this clinical case of clinical over clinicalization, would be a clear cut case of Clinicalitis.
This wasn't Dr. Multifactorial again was it?
No, different doc.
