| Do you strain to hear if the doctor said hyper or hypo? What about affect and
effect? Can you share what, if anything, causes you to hit your head against
your computer screen in frustration? My hard-to hear words were always 15 and
50.

| It usually comes down to docs dictating lab results or a medication list
at warp speed in an off-the-cuff manner, things that have no context in
the rest of the report to verify against, and I find that it's almost
invariably native English-speakers who do this. Ever notice how some of
them almost seem to clip off the ends of their words? Most of my ESLs
at least make an effort to be understandable; I suppose a lot of them
are acutely aware of their accents.

| Some of my pet peaves also...hypo, hyper and 15, 50 and 31, 41. Although I
must admit that I don't have any trouble with effect and affect since very
few make a distinguishing pronunciation that I've found...I just remember
effect is a noun and affect is a verb and can get that one.

Add inter and intra to that list for me. I have a doc who seems to find
a way to say both of them in an in-between manner, or he changes in the
middle of a report.

Most times I can tell by context if it is "fortunate" or "unfortunate" but
sometimes I can't.

| The one that always gives me trouble from 2 of my dictators in the H&P is "a
regular rhythm", or "irregular rhythm?"
I have trouble with hypo/hyper, but sometimes you can figure that out from
the note, or from the drug prescribed.
Effect/affect shouldn't be a problem. Is it used as a noun or a verb? One
of my dictators gives me trouble with 2 and 3. I can't figure out why they
should sound alike, but they do with this one person.

| Abduction and adduction. Even when they dictate a-b-duction and
a-d-duction, it's difficult. One doc used to say a-b-as-in-boy-duction.
or a-d-as-in-dog-duction. I sure appreciated his extra effort and told
him so.

You're not alone. It's true and I imagine they wonder HOW that could ever be an
issue

I would too. If they only say A-B-duction and adduction it would be one thing.

me.
