There is one doc on an account I do that drives me NUTS. He goes from screaming into his handheld and distorting the sound, so I turn my sound way down. The next sentence he nearly whispers, so I crank the sound up and hold my breath to hear him. And, you guessed it, this goes back and forth for the entire dictation. He is so loud he literally blasts me off my chair at times when he starts talking. At other times he whispers and I struggle to hear him. Argh! I wonder why on earthy he just cannot keep the same volume in his voice?? My ears are very sensitive, so by the time I finish any report with him I have a pounding headache.

Pet peeve
One of my pet peeves are the terms that are constantly used with apostrophes that are not supposed to be used with them. For example, especially the maneuvers, like Spurling or Lachman. Then you have the commonly used Baker cyst or Alzheimer disease. None of these terms are used with apostrophes in either Stedman's or McDorland's. I just had QA go through and add apostrophes to all of these terms. Am I totally wrong in abiding by the 2 references that I use the most as the standards?
Scary! Wonder what info they are trying to get? Or is it just to peeve off some good MTs?
