From actual dictation (and transcriptionist
Posted: Sep 25, 2011
actually typed it!)
"The patient arrived as a trauma patient early this morning after apparently drinking to excess, crashing his car, fleeing from police at a traffic stop and accident, and then jumping approximately 30 feet from a perfectly good bridge in town."
Man, why'd he have to go and ruin a perfectly good bridge? :P

Guess I'm not sure - sm
[ In Reply To ..]what you're saying. If that is what the dictator said, why wouldn't the transcriptionist type it? Is there something I am missing?
Account specs - dmz
[ In Reply To ..]Must be a verbatim account! :)
me too - not sure - wimt
[ In Reply To ..]what you're referring to. Did the doctor make the statement about why he had to ruin a perfectly good bridge or what? Otherwise, if the dictator only said what you have in quotes, then that's what the transcriptionist should type. Am I missing something too?
Whatever is behind the reason for typing it - it is darned entertaining
[ In Reply To ..]I would have definitely gotten a chuckle out of typing that sentence.
I understood and it was funny - yes you are missing it - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The doc dictated that he jumped "from a perfectly good bridge". Now that's funny.
Funny - very funny
[ In Reply To ..]You guys are so missing the point. it is a funny sentence. it isn't a VR funny or anything like that. Just a funny situation and a funny way of stating what happened. - like skydiving is jumping from a perfectly good airplane.

I saw all of this unfold live - from beginning to end. This footage is condensed, but in no way retouched, other than some captions. It proves what I was saying earlier, and also proves that the mainstream media (bought & paid for by Big Biz, just like the Mayor of Oakland and the Oakland P.D.), is going out of its way to paint a completely different picture than what actually happened. Remember: You can no longer make judgements about ANYTHING that happens in this c ...
