psych note funny - mt4years

Posted: May 14, 2010

I was reviewing a psych. note before processing it and came across something that I thought might make someone's day... :-) The dr. said, "Serial 3's ..." and the typist put "Cereal 3's..."... Sure was glad I caught that one...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that looks at other MT's work and says to myself, "I can't believe you still have a job". OR "I sure hope you are still on 100% QA status because I pray that report didn't go to the client"!

Isn't that the truth... Sadly this report had not gone to QA and I was processing just before sending... I did reach thru the puter tho' and shake the MT since said MT has been typing for at least 5 years and knows better.. Sooo glad I caught it.. Just one of those lucky things that kinda jumps off the page at ya..

ROFL... How could I forget! Oh and how about "a ponderosa" for "aponeurosis"..

Using a word expander, I once typed, "This is a 43-year-old bowel movement with a history of sarcoidosis", meaning, of course, "black male", and it actually made it to the hospital. The doctor was running up and down the corridors shaking the copy of the report, ranting and raving about "those incompetent girls"! Can't say I blame him. I was severely chastised by the office manager. Today it would have been "African American", and no way could you mess that up....

too much cereal and caggabe can lead to a BM that could live - for 43 years. Or resemble one.

I've been clean and sober for going on 25 years, and the 12-step Program has been my life. It works.

My "aa" was for "area". nm - Ella (retired)

This MT must have been running on automatic and semicomatose. I hate to admit, I've done that too.

Is there anyone here who can tell me why many of the companies who have psych reports only want MTs with 5 or more years experience? I've done a few psych reports and had no problems with them.

I went part time and sent her an email with the request, worked the new schedule for over a week before she called me to say she had to evaluate my request for schedule change. Tol ...

I was looking at glassdoor, where you can see reviews of different companies. I was looking to see if there were any reviews on M*Modal. AND there are. The majority are bad -- really bad.

So, how bad does a company have to be that even people in India think it is horrible? ...
