Another SR blooper


Posted: Jan 28, 2014

Was going along editing the dictation when out of the blue SR hears "the patient has been evaluated previously by a stray cat." Should have been,"the patient has been evaluated previously by a psychiatrist. I'd rather be evaluated by a stray cat on any day!! Being a cat lover, this instantly planted a visual in my head of a cat wearing specs, sitting behind a desk, with a writing pad jotting down notes, as I go on and on about how difficult my job has become...I wonder what it would advise?;

Of course he'd have to send - you for a CAT scan

I used to find more humor in some of the VRisms, but lately they bear so little resemblance to what was said, that it's really not even funny. And just dropping whole phrases that are plainly spoken. I don't know what's going on.

Dropped phrases - idea (sm) - Rose

I find the dropped phrases occur with the horrid dictators. I think some MTs may be just leaving the phrases out because they don't form words and it takes too long to email the supervisor and have QA not understand it too. So next time VR hears something that sounds like the dropped phrase, it's been trained to drop the phrase. I found this most on a horrible dictator who purposefully did not dictate the ROS and PE, just hummed through it with occasional breaks between syllables. I followed the rules: sent to QA. The response: "Don't you know how to look up previous reports?"

What VR heard:  " Long-term care was discussed with Mr. So and so in the presence of his bowels" What was really said: "Long-term care was discussed with Mr. So and so in the presnce of his spouse"    Dictation was clear as a bell, no accent on the doc's part!  Yeah, the system is really "learing".  It's getting better and better every day... NOT!   haha! ...

Here's the quote...can you 'catch' it?... "She is approximately 4 weeks' postpartum. She is not pregnant." Hmm...ya think? LOL!

Too Funny.... Another BlooperMay 14, 2013
