Very, very, very, very occasionally it does matter. - Rare chance Posted: Oct 17th, 2018 - 2:02 pm In Reply to: I just endangered the lives of all patients - and possibly staff
I now so overly punctuate my sentences, it is ridiculous. My previous employer, who was an English major and MT, would be rolling his eyes. Too many doctors have such a poor command of the English language that where to add a period, or maybe a comma, is unclear. Hey doc, does yesterday refer to fact A or B???! Just love the doctors who dictate comma after everything! In 30 years I can only remember 2 instances in which a comma affected patient care. Both instances involved the same doctor. He was an ESL and I doubt he would have known where to put the comma. I just put a blank and QA note "ambiguous." QA is killing our scores with comma "errors," which is so beyond ridiculous. Plus, QA is so inconsistent. I'm on PM because of these inconsequential minor errors. I can't wait until I escape this place! Plan/action in motion presently.
