There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients.

Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...
Be careful with the spell check. It is not working properly. I just let something go through that I thought spell check would catch and I would fix it when I came to the end of the document.

This happened to me. I lost many of my expansions. ...

Does this make any sense? I have no idea what a number three fracture is, but he says it pretty clearly. ...
I'm transcribing a dictation by an Asian doctor and I'm unsure what to do with this sentence. I'm pretty sure it is exactly what he is saying. "...drainage from her right ear 2-3 days ago. This happened after her swimming 2-3 days or had all this drainage." The part I'm unsure about is after the first period. Thanks in advance for any ideas!! ...
ok, so I had a 20-minute dictation by a DOCTOR, albeit a resident, but still...he actually said "next sentence" at the end of EVERY SENTENCE. I just want to type verbatim for ONE DAY... ...

I hope I posted this in the right place. If not, my sincerest apologies.
I'm curious - how many of you put a comma after the phrase "At this time", i.e. At this time, the patient was discharged to home, as opposed to At this time the patient was discharged to home.
I used to know all of this stuff but it's been 34 years since I graduated high school. LOL. I had some great English teachers but the memory fades with age...... :-)
