A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I've got a dictator who speaks e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y slowly and clearly (the type who spells out the name "John" like the MT is some kind of moron)...until he gets to the labs. He slurs so rapidly through the lab values that even slowing him down, half the time I don't understand what he's saying - was that albumin? alk phos? AST? something or other acetate? what? WHAT?
Could kill him. Just kill him.
Ok. Vent over. (I think some of these guys resent the time spend dictating so much, that they do it this way just to make the MT's job more difficult than it already is. And dear God, it is difficult).
