I had a surgeon once who stopped dictating and yelled to someone, "What do you call that thing, what's the name of that thing we put in him?"

From a delivery note today: "Amniotomy performed; mild meconium was noted, cervix 6 cm. Approximately an hour later, baby was complete."

that's the whole idea--he meant to say dramatic, but clearly said "traumatic" instead TWICE.
Dr. Aflacduck is somewhat of a malaprop.

I have a doc that drops words all of the time. He just said, "Chief complaint: Patient requests pregnancy."
Is that legal?

LOL. I've heard of pendulous but that is ridiculous!
"The patient's mother died at the age of 101 degrees."
"Final skin excision was then carried out at the level of the inframammary fold with the patient sitting on each breast."

I had a doc today who I am pretty sure was listening to a taped reading of a Harry Potter book while she was dictating. I could hear entire phrases every once in awhile. At first it was pretty annoying, but then it started to be more amusing once I figured out what she was listening to.

I used to have a PA or NP who listened to gangsta rap while he dictated. He'd frequently pause and rap under his breath along with the CD. After hearing a bunch of non-family-friendly words I finally figured out what it was. Until then I thought he was cussing about something in the chart. LOL. He didn't last too long after that all started. I always wondered what happened to him. I'd catch a phrase or two and then Google it to see what was in the CD player for the day.

I transcribed this recently: "The patient is allergic to cat, c-a-t, hair, h-a-i-r". This doc spells out a lot of words (about one third of the time incorrectly), but I never thought I'd hear him spell "cat".

I got the same thing the other day!

I used to transcribe for a doctor in a general practice clinic who would do his dictation at home. At least three times a week, his dictation would also include his 9-year-old daughter attempting to practice playing the saxophone. The operative word there is "attempting," if you catch my drift.
