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 am speechless.
Must have been using Dragon Dictate.
For English Press 1
As a speech pathologist myself, I think this SLP's writing is occ. errored. In defense, however, has anyone ever read a syntactically correct medical chart? And electronic medical records are NOT helping.
So a lay person would have written "occasional errors in articulation precision"?
I doubt a lay person would ever find themselves writing ANYTHING about precision of articulation...but that would have been better wording for a speech therapist to use.
The medical community has turned English into a strange code that only insiders understand.
My mom the English teacher is still baffled that we say "secondary to" all the time. She used to ask"Why don't you just say Because of...?"
I told her it's because we like to write the 2 with the little o in the corner. :)
When the speech therapist isn't speaking clearly, that's a bad sign.
Ummm . . .I'm an SLP too. That SLP needs some help. Or something.
Now what I want to know -- is it true that even when we (therapists in general) write out our 2-3 page reports that physicians only look at the last section (i.e. Summary and Recommendations)? If so, why the hell did they teach me in grad school that I have to write all the rest of it out?
For insurance silly. That's the reason we do everything.
OMG! You actually READ our reports?!? This fills me with such joy and optimism. So he/she combined error and err into an amazing nounverb. Let's talk about reports calling dysarthria "aphasia" and vice versa.
