Big Blooper

I have made many bloopers in my transcription history, as I am sure many have. However, I think this one tops the cake. I am a psych transcriptionist, and I transcribe forensic and legal psych reports. I had a client who was an exhibitionist to say the least. In the dictation, the therapist stated that the client was "sitting along the highway with his bare penis exposed, masturbating". I transcribed "bear penis" instead of "bare penis"! Oh my goodness did I get teased about that. When the report came back for correction, the therapist wrote in the margin, "Hey, how big is a bear penis anyway". I still work for the same therapist, and I do not think he will ever let me live it down.

ASR Blooper
Here is my favorite:

Patient is an 83 year-old female who fell when she stepped outside to pick up a male.

When I'm 83, I hope that I can just step outside and pick up a guy!

Humorous MD blooper

I have had awful dictation this afternoon - sheer torture, as most of us are familiar with.

Thought I would share this to lighten things up: "Discharge instructions were given in both verbal and oral format." He whipped through this report in about 45 seconds - they don't even listen to themselves.

My blooper typo-of-the-day! sm

Doctor dictates: "Extremities are warm and well perfused."

What I almost typed: "Extremities are warm and well PERFUMED."

Time for a break

Monday blooper

It was dictated as Allergies: Sulfones.

I transcribed "Allergies: Cell phones" . . . . until I realized what I'd done.

Somebody beat me with a wet noodle!

Admin, can we get a blooper board?

I think everyone really could use a good laugh these days and now with ASR, MTs can contribute as well as QA. I get some really funny ones but forget to write them down so was thinking it would be neat to have an ongoing blooper board on this site. The comedy board is great; and being an MT site, I think a blooper board would be very appropriate and appreciated. Thanks for your consideration!

Tonight's stoopid blooper!

' A translator was used for today's visit because the patient speaks primarily Spinach.'

(Wonder if that translator's name was 'Popeye'????)
