Another VR BlooperMar 01, 2010
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! ...

Blooper :)Nov 14, 2011
Just had to post this "blooper" of one of my docs who was extremely tired! Thought it would bring a smile to someone's face who normally would just have been aggravated by it! Here's the quote...can you 'catch' it?... "She is approximately 4 weeks' postpartum. She is not pregnant." Hmm...ya think? LOL! I love my job and though there are sooo many MTs here that seem to hate the fact that God even gives them breath to wake up in the morning in order ...

Another SR BlooperJan 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 wou ...

Too Funny.... Another BlooperMay 14, 2013
Dictated: The patient has a history of painful periods since her teenage years, which was stable until she delivered an 11-year-old child. Now that is a good trick. Skip infancy and just deliver older children...   ...

This Has GOT To Be The Best Speech Wreck Blooper Yet.Mar 21, 2011

Antarctica Warming Much Faster Than Scientists Thought,Dec 24, 2012
"West Antarctica has warmed much more than scientists had thought over the last half century, new research suggests, an ominous finding given that the huge ice sheet there may be vulnerable to long-term collapse, with potentially drastic effects on sea levels. A paper released Sunday by the journal Nature Geoscience reports that the temperature at a research station in the middle of West Antarctica has warmed by 4.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1958. That is roughly twice as muc ...

I would like prayer for my husband and for myself.  My husband needs a surgery to fix his vertebraes in his neck and we have been looing for a way to get it done.  I have applied at the state and it is held up until and if they do select our name.  I have been looking for a medical grant of some sort to get it paid.  Also, I am going to start school in March,2010 for MEdical Transcriptionist, and I have received a pell grant but I need a way to pay my living costs while I go ...

Has Anyone Here Had Bariatric Surgery?Dec 10, 2009
I am just trying to get as much info as possible.  Looks right now like it will be a RNY in India (insurance does not cover it, cost including air fair and all medical costs around $8,000 compared to 25-30,000 in the USA.)  Has anyone here gone through it and how was the process?  Was it open or lap?  What was the recovery time?  How have you adapted to the dietary changes afterwards?   ...

How soon after cataract surgery did you return to transcription? What lens did you have implanted? I have beginnings of cataracts and am considering RLE (refractive lens exchange).  Has anyone tried this?  I am not a LASIK candidate because of dry eyes and large pupils. ...

Surgery/WorkMay 30, 2012
I am having upcoming surgery and do not want to use what little bit of sick time I have (because then I'm in a pickle if I get the flu or something).  I inquired if I could use a few vacation days and then have a few off unpaid if needed (because I often use vacation days for necessary things rather than something pleasant).  I was told I could either go the FMLA route and will have to eat up any sick time I have or have to use all vacation time, which will wipe mine out. Do most ...

Surgery For De Quervain's Dec 31, 2012
Did anyone have surgery for de Quervain's tenosynovitis?  I had one injection a year ago, which resolved the issue.  However, a few months later the condition returned worse than ever.   My surgeon said the procedure "usually" eliminates the problem, but scar tissue may form which would cause pain, and the need for an additional procedure.   ...

I'm Having Vein Surgery And I'mAug 02, 2014
I'm hoping someone on this board will have had, or know someone who has had, vein ablation therapy, also called EVLT and EVLA.  It's done in the doctor's office under Versed twilight sedation and local numbing medicine in each incision on the leg.  I have chronic venous insufficiency, which has, over the past year, taken a toll on my life.  I have constant aching pain in both calves every waking moment.  The pain even wakes me in up from sleep.  Both ankle ...

The Guy Who Just Had Brain SurgeryJul 25, 2017
Enough to say to the world that his colleagues are not owned by or subordinate to Trump.  I don't have the stomach to call myself a pub after what they've done for 40 years, but he makes me proud anyway.  Order, what a concept.  Bet wanna be king Trump is furious.  McCain has more balls than ANY of those who defend Trump's incompetent narcissistic words and actions ...

Rotator Cuff SurgeryMar 18, 2011
Has anyone out there had rotator cuff surgery? I am afraid that is what I am facing.  I am having an MRI in a few days and then probably talking to a surgeon.  It has gotten to the point that I can't handle the pain anymore when I "forget" and use that arm the wrong way.  How long did it take you to get back to working??  I can't afford to be out 6 weeks as I have no disability insurance and basically as an MT living from paycheck to paycheck.  I do have 2 wee ...

ADVICE FOR MT WHO'S S/P BACK SURGERYAug 23, 2012
I've been a MT for about 30 yrs. I had to go on disability due to back pain, then had 2 back surgeries. Thank God the neurosurgeon did a GREAT job and I'm ready to go back to work, but I HAVE to get up at least once an hour to walk for like 15 minutes. What do I tell (if I do) a prospective employer that I have this problem? How do I do this? I've got to get back to work now! Thanks! ...

Getting Second Opinion Recent Eye SurgeryMar 22, 2013
I decided to contact one of the managers where I had my cataract surgery about 4 weeks ago now as striving to see what other options might be open for me. Needless to say I do not have any desire to return to the original surgeon, not that he failed but with his flaring up about a perfectly innocent comment from me, will not trust him in going forward with any tweeking that might need to be done. I have an appointment to see the manager on Monday. I like to speak face to face with a person, not ...

Stressing About Surgery, Not For The UsualAug 07, 2013
So I went to the orthopedist in May, had xray of my shoulder. At that time it was popping quite a bit and hurting (hurting that is until I got to the office, but you know how that is). Bottom line, xray done, doctor studied for a minute (could see his scanning as he was directly outside the room pondering the radiograph). He said you can just watch and if it should become more painful then surgery. Ok so it got worse over these few months. Am trying to sit operation up, getting okay from PCP (to ...

So far temp is 97. ...

Post Gallbladder Surgery QuestionMar 24, 2010
Hi Fellow MTs:   I was wondering if anyone that has had their GB out has had any pain with the trocar sites that bothered them.  I am 1 month out from GB surgery and it seems as though I have more pain in one of these sites than the others.   It is a slight throbbing type pain and I have good days and bad days with some nausea, but not a lot.   Luckily I have Phenergan for nausea.    I know that some people have GB symptoms after surgery but it w ...
