Dictation humor for the day


Posted: Jul 19, 2011

LOL, Snort. These docs really know their stuff.
  • Am I missing something here? "Denied having any cataract extraction, but does have definite right cataract extraction."
  • Also, the above patient is "quadriplegic and has severe ambulatory dysfunction." If this doc wasn't so bad, he'd be hilarious!
  • ;

    The doctor's dictation is correct. - sweetgirlsmom

    Severe ambulatory dysfunction is a specific level on walking capacity tests. They are used to evaluate patients with multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases such as idiopathic hypertrophic spinal pachymeningitis. There are numerous websites that give the details.

    I always look up phrases that are new to me. I am amazed at how much I learn and how it helps my transcription.

    LOL! Ambulatory dysfunction-- ya THINK?? - maggie
