Hey doctor, why not just eat lunch while you're dictating! - Good idea!

Posted: Sep 14, 2014

Yeah! - kill two birds with one stone. Chew that food thoroughly too, roll it around in your mouth with your mouth open and smack up that taste, then swallow hard while pronouncing a crucial word. I hate you!!

We must be talking about the same one, - every time he dictates

takes the same time to eat and I am so sick of hearing him take a big slurp and then swallow also, taking a bite of something. How rude is that? I would make my kids eat on the porch if they tried to pull such.

Terrible, but your post is so funny. Made me laugh out loud.

And the worst part? - When you cant understand

[ In Reply To ..]
him because of his obnoxious chewing, so you have to back up and hear it over and over and over...

If they do not care enough to dictate clearly and consicely, - sm

I don't care enough to relisten over and over.

dr dictating - oldie but goodie

I have one that has "chronic" throat problems, sounds like laryngitis ALL THE TIME plus he is foreign....and p a u s e s and breathes into the phone, changes his mind, repeats, and dictations come up long in minutes but not that long when finished. ugh

oldie but goodie - I think we are on the same account.

Is your TSM RW?

And cough drops or breath mints, too! - Toni

I have one doctor who loves to click his cough drops and/or breath mints against his teeth while dictating. I would like to shove it up his nose at times!

And while you are at it, - Suck suck suck

that big ol soft drink down to the bottom, rattle the ice and suck suck suck some more, make that loud noise with the straw bottoming out. I bet you can get one more micro-drip out if you keep trying.

That was such a clever idea to multitask and eat your lunch while dictating, killing two birds with one stone, as they say. It's so cute and funny hearing muffled words through your chomps and swallows. I wish I could return the gesture and make your day more pleasant too. Merry Christmas. ...

I distinctly remember doing the original dictation a few weeks back...Now I have to wonder if I got paid for that job...How do they get lost? this was a unique kind of report so there is no doubt in my mind it was transcribed and sent through... ...

Why do we get berated when the doctor is known to be a mumbler and you know he knows what he is doing? This guy CONSTANTLY has blanks in his reports, no accent, no excuse. He's just lazy and doesn't care. I wish there was a way of issuing fines for these doctors when they get these many blanks in their reports. You'd think it would be some sort of legal issue since the reports are basically incomplete. Just a thought. ...

Dear dictating doctor, if you can't speak Engilish, please do not waste my time or yours. Thank you. I really feeling making a macro of this and putting at the end of every impossible ESL dictating doctor. Seriously, what are some docs thinking?

Doctor repeatedly dictates at end of her office notes will see patient back peripherally. When asked about this, she says yes, that is what she means to say. Has anyone heard of "PERIPHERALLY" used in this manner in dictation? If so, what does this mean because I cannot verify this as being correct. Thanks :) ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

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. ...

Oct 01, 2010

He does this all the time...turns a 1.5-2 min dictation into a 15 minute dictation. I fast forward through it, but I still have to "listen" to the whole file before I can turn in the dictation. This is on top of being a horrible dictator; he whispers, shuffles papers, etc, and has extremely long pauses between words. Gah!!!! Okay, just had to get that out of my system. Thanks! ...

I have always thought the numbers less than 10 should be in numeral form if referring to medication. So I thought 1 tablet of Vicodin a day would be the appropraite way to type it or 2 tablets of Vicodin a day. However, I am not sure. Any ideas? ...

I've got a resident dictating and is on the PE. "Blood pressure 110/80 and ___________ was 65 and regular." I know that the blank would be heart rate, but the res says something like "balance" or "bowels"....is there a new term or an old one that has escaped me? TIA ...

I'm going freaking nuts! I am trying to transcribe a resident's dictation (bad enough), but she's smacking and chewing gum throughout the whole thing. It's so loud that I can hardly make out what she's saying. I don't very often rant and rave, but ... I DON'T GET PAID TO HEAR SOMEONE CHEW GUM!!!! ...

Okay, if you're going to have an RN, FNP, or PA dictate for you, at least make sure they know the terminology! I just suffered through at 10 minute discharge summary on a patient post CVA, and this lady was reading the CT scan and MRI reports of the brain into the record with clearly no idea at all of what she was reading or what it meant or how to pronounce the parts of the brain. Thank goodness I've been around long enough to be able to get and idea and fill in so ...

Note to all doctors who eat while dictating... STOP IT! Okay, you jerks swore to do no harm. You violate that oath every single time you pick up a phone and dictate. Eating while dictating is just one of the many things you do. How would you like it if someone came up to you and started chewing their food right in your ears? Oh, you wouldn't? Gee, could have fooled me! What's that you say? No one would show a doctor that kind of disrespect? You are nothing but an over-educated, self in ...

Anyone have thoughts on using program such as Dragon to "re-dictate" reports to save some transcription time and hopefully save further wear and tear? Not an expensive program start-up but willing to spend some time to set up a more basic program to work. My shoulder is nearly frozen, again. Us old-schoolers are wearing out. Thanks! ...
