yawning over the same bit of dictation - steady eddie


Posted: Sep 12, 2010

Had to leave a blank due to yawn (the doc, not me, although this can be a snooze fest at times). 

I was hoping to fill in the blank later on when I got to the assessment.  Darn if the doc didn't yawn again over the same thing. 

What are the chances of that?  Oh, well.

The chances must have been pretty good. That is so frustrating. It has happened to all of us.

Which leads to another coincidence: 72.127% of - Poppy

Yawning Dictator
Jun 17, 2010

This ANP who is dictating can't make up her mind what she wants to say and constantly corrects herself and then keeps yawning, but doesn't stop the recording or even stop speaking while she's yawning.  It's annoying me PLUS it's making me sleepy now myself. More coffee, please!!!! ...


YAWNING AND DICTATING
Jul 13, 2010

I very seldom vent or complain, but it has just got to me today.  This surgeon does such good dictation, EXCEPT when he yawns and continues to dictate.  How in the world does he think we can understand him when he does this.  It is not a little yawn either.  It almost makes me shutter when he does it.  I am sorry, I just had to finally vent after listening to him for 10 years. ...


Stop Yawning At Me!!!!

She started out the dictation yawning and apologized for it the first time but then went on to do it 3 or 4 more times.  It's a good thing I'm near the end of my night because now I'm yawning like crazy. ...


Yawning Doctors....
Oct 22, 2012

do they really think they can be understood when they dictate while they're yawning?!  I did a dictation last week where the dictator yawned about 5 long ones and I couldn't get most of what they were saying...and here I have her again today and she's doing the same thing!  Yeesh!  At least quit talking!!!  :) ...

Love It When They Dictate Yawning
Oct 10, 2010

Just need a breather.  Or IV tranquilizers.  In the middle of a 25-minute dictation by a sleepy, yawning, slurring, ESL - we're not talking an endoscopy or hernia repair, it's a brain surgery, and I'll be darned if I can understand a word.   More blanks than anything else.  I would love him to just hear himself when he's awake.  Just listen to himself and ask himself how anyone could possibly understand a word.  I only hope he wasn't as ...

Dictation App
Aug 06, 2014

I think it is safe to say that we can expect even worse sound quality now that the doctors are using a dictation app. I can say I have already noticed this on my accounts. Remember when doctors were encouraged not to dictate on their cell phone? Now it is being encouraged! Hard to believe MM cares about quality.... ...

HELP With Cardio Dictation
Oct 14, 2009

Please help if you can! The doctor is talking way too fast, I can't even understand it when I slow it down...

Pet Dictation Peeve
May 25, 2010

Ooooh!  This gets me.  This is an NP who is dictating acute care - "The patient comes in with a diagnosis of non-insulin dependent diabetes 'myelitis'."  Puhleeze!  The same dictator pronounces "organomegaly" as "organomeglea."  It's like hearing someone scratching their fingernails down a blackboard.  Shouldn't these people have had enough schooling to be able to sound out words?! ...


Emotional Dictation

Just had a dictator sobbing and choking up while dictating on an AML toddler with a poor prognosis.  Dictation was still clear enough, but it was hard to keep from not choking up myself.  If I was an MD, that would be the part of the job I don't think I would be able to handle. ...


Charging For EMR Dictation

Echo Dictation
Jul 23, 2011

For those who work with echo dictation -  from what I understand, it's useful for straight transcribing, but does it work in VR? I'm thinking of investing in it, but can't understand how it would be useful in a VR program, which is where everything will be in just a few years.  I would think it wouldn't work in a non-Word program since you can't cut and paste, and even if it did, you'd be editing twice.  Thanks for any info! ...
