I have been fortunate enough to transcribe for local doctors for most of my 17-year career.  One of the meanest MDs I've ever had to schedule for (previous job) is also one of the very best, easiest dictators I've ever transcribed for.  Any newbie with a lick of common sense and decent English-language skills could transcribe him well.  I was absolutely shocked the first time I saw his name pop up on my Lanier and I heard him from a whole new side. 

The same ER doctors I've had the great misfortune to see in the ER turned out to be quick, clear, efficient dictators.   

I once worked for three urologists.  One was a slick hotshot surgeon, very full of himself, and was having affairs with nurses all over town.  Strangely enough his rapid-fire dictation with a certain strong Northern accent was possibly my favorite dictation of all time.  He would wait to dictate until he was through seeing patients, and then he would start at the top of his patient list and dictate a clear summary in about 15 works each patient, and then move right on to the next one.  Doc 2 was a wonderful, serious, caring person, great surgeon and easy for patients to talk to.  Not surprisingly, he dictated while he was still seeing patients, had a lot to say, and might go back and forth between patients, which was inefficient for me.  It just took a long time, but he was clear and all.  The third MD seemed to be an icky person and a horrible dictator. 

On the other hand, some fantastic primary care doctors I've known have been very annoying, talking slowly, making multiple edits, spelling common drug names and going on for 17 minutes for each mundane case.

Sooooo ... people are not always what you'd expect from their dictation.
