It's a slow day, so I thought I'd just put up some Dragonisms.
(What is a Dragonism?)
Dr. Grumpy: "The MRI showed a brain tumor."
Computer: "The immoral eye showed a brain tumor.
Dr. Grumpy: "Naprosyn helps her back pain."
Computer: "A Mac person helps her back pain."
Dr. Grumpy: "He has paresthesias in both feet."
Computer: "He has penises in both feet."
Dr. Grumpy: "Joan takes Acetazolamide."
Computer: "Joan's seat is alive.
Dr. Grumpy: "On MRI he has a bulging disk in his neck."
Computer: "On MRI he has a bulging dick in his neck."
Just like talking to my husband - only not quite - at least it listens to half of what you said...
ReplyDeleteA bulging dick in the neck would be an intersting medical problem, don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteLove it! One of my patients is a big Dragon user.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the NYTimes article about Dragon? Very interesting.

Use a MAC, not a PC
ReplyDeleteUzi-Mac, Knot a peice see
Anon- I DO use a Mac.
ReplyDeleteWow. Penises on both feet? He must be a hit with the ladies.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I tried to use dragon for over a year. It just never worked for me. I got frustrated with it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best ones was
Bang Doesn't and Jump Start!!!!

When does your new job start?

Oh goodness, these made me snicker so much. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, hey, finally another use for an "immoral" eye.
Keep 'em coming.
Mac people are just nicer. So less pains in the back.
ReplyDeleteYour last dragonism may have been paying homage to a classic ESPN blooper from years and years ago, back when Olbermann was still manning the desk there for SportsCenter. Steve Levy makes the slip and Olbermann cracks wise during the rest of the presentation off-mic, eventually leading to Levy's nearly losing control during the list of injuries of the past week.

Oblermann's comment near the end of the clip : "Thank goodness there's no video of that Hurst injury."
This software appears to have a phallic obsession.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I use Dragon is when dictating DXA reports. When I say "minus" it intermittently types "anus." Depending on my mood, I'm furious or giggle uncontrollably. Think of all the minuses in a DXA report!
ReplyDeleteI love these.
ReplyDeleteI bought that program when it first came out for the chaplain on our base (I was a purchasing agent in the military at the time). He shared with me some of the Dragonisms after he was horrified when it gave him some not so nice words instead of the ones he wanted to use. That poor Chaplain.
ReplyDeleteERP, you're probably gonna wind up treating that lucky guy for syphilis of the toes, and some unlucky ladies for athlete's foot of the vagina.
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't resist that one.
These are hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet my ex-boyfriend has a dick in his neck :)
ReplyDeleteDon't they use medical context dictionaries????
ReplyDelete@ terri C A phallic obsession? Is that's why it was called Dragon Dick-tate?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite:
ReplyDelete"Her mother is ailing and living in a rest home" came out as "her mother is an alien living in a restaurant."
In line with your last Dragonism, I've seen a patient with a history of "degenerative dick disease". Poor guy.
