I don't even have to listen to the end of the report, you know the part when the dictator gives their name, as once I've heard the ol' 'larnix' or 'ornophernix' peppered in there I KNOW it was an NP who just dictated!!! 

That is UP WITH THAT?!  They make it way harder on themselves by saying them the way they do!

3.	ass-hat	4 thumbs up
	A general term for someone who carries out actions with such stupidity that they might as well wear their ass as a hat. Pete begins looking for his sunglasses, unknowing to the fact that they are on his head. He asks Ed where his glasses are. Ed takes them off his head saying, "You are such a f*cking ass-hat."

Selectric typewriters with 6 carbons, all of which had to be erased if there was a typo or, more likely, a dictator's changes.  If a doc's dictation stumped us, he (very few females then) would get a tug on his sleeve, asked to listen to what he said and explain.  Having worked in a teaching institution, these doctors were more than happy to impart their knowledge to anyone who would listen. 

Then came the mag card machines, then computers. 

The dictation I listened to on IBM belts, then tapes, was a lot clearer than most of the digital dictation I'm subjected to now. 

And no MTs worked on Sundays and holidays, and certainly not every Saturday.
