Clearly, Dragon overheard him talking to a small child who had asked him if he'd eaten raw steak for dinner (because he had a bit stuck in his teeth). Little friend, I have!! and [it had a] rare spot.
I see crazy things all the time in my current job of editing medical speech wreck. Despite the promises, there will be errors in medical reports unless someone with a trained eye and medical knowledge looks them over and fixes errors.
Things like allergies to penis, parents who are dead but still live wth the patient, etc., are common place.
My favorite Dragon oops was when Dragon turned a Peanut Butter recipe into P**** Butter Cookies. You can figure out what that meant. I was very embarrassed when friends wrote to tell me about my mistake.
I don't use Dragon, and I probably never will.
As to the rare spot: Perhaps the report was discussing the fontanel.

Try dictating "Allergic to peanuts." tee-hee
