The aside: a good reason to turn off the microphone when dictating.

A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.

Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I love the "asides" from doctors, although most I do leave out. Such as "What the hell is this kid's name?? He's got three first names!!" What is more interesting though is when they don't realize they are recording. Oh my!
My FAVE forgot they were recording incident was an ER doctor getting into an argument with his wife. She was yelling at him about his choice of internet surfing (can you say porn??) and he fired back about her thinking nothing of spending over $300.00 on dinner out. This went on for about 20 minutes. LOL!
I used to transcribe for a doctor that would fall asleep during dictation! No joke..
He would begin slurring his words, then silence, followed by heavy breathing and snoring.
It drove me nuts!
I've spent the past month on a radiology elective and this happens all the time! Today I was trying to not laugh as the attending had forgotten the mic was on and the resident was deleting all the extra text from the report as fast as he was speaking. Some funny transcriptions (luckily caught before signing the reports: lumbago-->lump a girl, osteoarthritis-->osteo-Kenya (???), findings-->funnies
Nothing is worse than lawyers who:
- Dictate in the bathtub
- Dictate with a mouthful of food
- Dictate and fart
Sigh. And they wonder why I am getting out of this business!!
I worked for an attorney (now a judge) who came out of the bathroom and thought he was going to drop his tape in my hand. Yeah...not going to happen.
One of my college professors told a story that he claimed was true about Joyce dictating "Finnegan's Wake" (which for the longest time - I never read it - I thought was about waterskiing).
Joyce was dictating to his secretary. Someone knocked on the door. Joyce says, "Come in" or whatever.
Later, when the secretary read back the text, he included the "Come in." Joyce asked, "What's that?"
Then he said, "Leave it in!"
Modern literature. Sheesh.
I start radiology tomorrow... hopefully then I'll know why this is bad/funny :P
Aaaand, this is why I don't dictate. Since the EMR at my hospital lets me type my own notes, I do so.
