Probably why so many real MTs are easy to please - at least if they find
an MT who THINKS about what they are typing.

My ex has this! I always thought it was OPD (Obnoxious Personality
Disorder), but I bet it's really IBS (Irritable Bald Syndrome). lol

Used to do an ESL ob/gyn. On the PE he would say, "No knocking
tenderness," meaning no costovertebral angle tenderness. With a
patient in labor he would always say, "pains that comes and goes,"
meaning intermittent labor pains.

Another ESL was geriatric internal medicine. I used to grit my teeth
every time he would say about all elderly women, "Vagina is atrophic."
On elderly MEN, the genitalia were always NORMAL. Grrrrr. (of course
it was probably true) This same doc in EVERY H&P would say, "The
patient is hard of hearing. Patient always says what?" This guy had a
HORRIBLE accent. Other docs at the hospital even asked the MTs how they
could understand him.


A few years back, I went nuts looking for a new drug that sounded like
Dytelone (some of you will remember this). This was dictated by a
sing-songy, high-voiced female. I finally stopped for lunch and while
eating it dawned on me she was saying, "diabetes controlled on diet
alone." Serious head banging time :-)

Sounds like typical VR errors. I will have to write some of mine down,
though I have it pretty well trained now, so they are a minimum, but I still
have to proof carefully, which is what makes it less efficient than the good
old keyboard. Still it gives my hands a rest.
