I can't believe this is a product of the American school system. It's application of the use of the English language is awkward, gratuitous, and simply sounds unprofessional. (Any 'unprofessional physicians' out there that can help write this testimonial for the 'Miracle Grow Your Own Brain Supplement' discovered in the very same kitchen as Face of Jesus toast?)
I would find this funnier if my medical records weren't replete with misspellings, non sequiters, and other nonsense that, taken as a whole, probably contributed quite a bit to the delay in diagnosis of a life threatening condition.

I think the potential is slim to none. And as to Dragon, I love Dr Grumpy's Dragonisms. But actual medical records... yikes. They ARE awful. Happy New Year Dr G!!
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.

Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.

(Sorry. "Its application" ... English language ... . )
can we blame this on Dragon Dictation? or is it just plain stoopid?

"potencial" - that's the British spelling, right?
