today's transcription blooper

I am going to have to start me a blog just for this funny nonsense stuff...

Transcriptionist typed ..."He feels like a survivor, he has been transformed after radiation therapy."

Bless his heart, I am sure he feels like a survivor too as radiation therapy is rough; however...

Dictated by doctor as ... "He feels like his saliva is returning to normal after radiation therapy."

That's why my wife and I seldom eat a steak, and when we do it's only 6 ounces.

Good grief! It's a wonder more people aren't over medicated or miss diagnosed. Murphy's Law.

k...I'm trying to figure out what eating a steak has to do with this...LOL...

Mr. C, that's why we have competent FQA people to catch the nonsense before the doctor and staff does! much less an error should affect the quality care of a patient!

all in a day's work

hi there. being a Quality Analyst for a medical transcription company doesn't have too many perks except an occasional ROFLMAO at some typos or Speech Recognition (SR) boo-boos I find on nearly a daily basis...

SR Drafted: "The patient is currently single and is in a sedating relationship."

Dictated: The patient is currently single and is in a dating relationship. (I need one of those!) :)

MT typed that this female patient is vulvar aggressive. (and you thought PMS was bad...LOL!) Yep even you can be a vulvar aggressive female, if you're a female that is! haha! (actually dictated as verbal aggression)

The Pt will need to have cereal H&Hs...haha! should be serial H&Hs (hemoglobin and hematocrits)

He spoke in cartoon voices in an attempt to be humerus.

"The patient is in for followup of her solitary right kitty" ...WTF?

"The patient works as a valley parker at The Cancer Center."

When patient was asked who Marie Curie was, "I think she's a famous hooker!"

The patient had a creme-filled filter placed!
(should have been a Greenfield filter, done for clots, circulation issues).

We did recheck a basic embolic pain yesterday, and this does reveal slight elevation in the creatinine to 1.4. *should be a basic metabolic panel*

She has a hobby of doing prostitute? say what? the doctor dictated She has a hobby of doing cross-stitching...LOL...that's pretty far out!

...Patient was alert and unresponsive.

...Exam of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized. (I don't care who ya are, that's funny!)

...Examination reveals a well-developed male lying in bed with his family in no distress.

...I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy.

...While in the emergency room, she was examined, X-rated and sent home.

...She is numb from her toes down. (surely you don't have to think about this one!)

...The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.

On My Radio

The air is cool, the colors fade, the long arm of night grows with a looming shade. Only small sparkles fill the sky, Where sounds of wings, blow on by. Yes this is a time to open ones mind, letting all in, yet sinking away..... Come all, let us play...

I love my music, all kinds, except hard heavy metal and bad rap, and I'm not a country fan at heart.

I am a sucker for good music quotes. I found this quote on REFLECTIONS blog, and I think it is great! "I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours.

But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places.

Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality."

~H.A. Overstreet

I found another great quote about music on a blog called "At The Starting Gate." It's fabulous!

Music is an expression that all can embrace, interpret, and feel. It is an expression that will never die and will constantly be created and twisted into enjoyable melodic prose.

Music is like an antidote, it helps reduce stress, it is what I can depend on when many things in life are not trustworthy.

Music is my sanity and my passion; a way to escape the physical world and express ideas and emotions. Music is a link to my dreams which helps me to relax, visualize and create.

Music is love, devotion, precise, discipline, and adoration and it brings me closer to God.
