What is the longest report you have ever done? - Anon

Posted: Feb 05, 2015

I got a report of close to 5000 today. Did not think I would ever get it done. I wonder if the receiving doctor bothers to read through all the information?

I've had them half that length, never that long! I would hate that.

I had a CT scan dictation that was 15 mins - deb

long. The doctor was a mumbler so it took me about 45 minutes. Problem was that I was paid by the report - $3.25.

I had a 49-minute op note once - midwestMT

It was an excellent dictator and he never missed a beat. It was actually a very interesting surgery too. Almost 500 lines (my account is straight typing).

Over an hour - TXMT

Oncology doctor at hospital where I used to work would dictate super long reports. Every single lab ever done, every single EKG, procedure, etc., from every report he could find in a patient's chart. And would spell everything. Just kept going and going like the Energizer Bunny. Report could be 2 hours long, but you could fly through them and make mega money!

49 minutes = 500 lines, that is good, I have found that rarely happens with long dictations (usually more minutes than lines)

Don't recall seconds or minutes, but I once had a - 9-1/2 page

pediatric death summary for an infant who lived just 120 days. Took me 3 hours to do, and I was much faster back then.

Have a couple of residents - now

that the time shows up as roughly an hour and a half report. In reality it's about a 40 minute report with a lot of pauses and dictating three words. . .pause. . .two words. . . pause. It's infuriating and ends up being maybe a 3 page report.

I remember a scoliosis op note years ago that was around 6 pages long and I was new to op notes. Took most of my 4 hour shift to complete. Straight typing, no Internet to google, just what books I had to research.

It was my final for MT class at school. A 14 page autopsy dictated by a southern belle with a heavy, heavy southern accent. Never had I ever done (nor since then) an autopsy. It seemed to take forever. I still shiver every time I think of it. So many measurements

When I worked in-house at a hospital, we would literally sit through the autopsies and transcribe real-time, as the pathologist did the autopsy! It was so cool, since I got to do all of the forensic ones (bodies found in swamps, etc.), since everyone else would vomit (lol). I would give anything to go back and do that again!

That would be really interesting. Do you read any - Patricia Cornwell books? nm

I actually loved doing it, and wished I could find a job doing it now. It made a real impact on me since the details stuck with me for the past 23 years.

Longest report - cr

Through MModal, almost 3000, but years ago when I worked in a hospital, there was a pediatric oncology nurse who dictated verbatim from the charts, and her reports were usually around 17 pages long and took most of the morning. We hated doing her reports!

It was 60 minutes. It was a psych note in French from one of the worst dictators I have ever dealt with. The cherry pickers inhouse would leave his work in the queue for me to do. Ugh!!!
