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.
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'????) 
Don't it stink? LOL. MT blooper in there - the same one I make EVERY TIME. nm

It probably would stink, mixed in a bowel! Cute blooper, though. nm

Just noticed typo - should've proofed before sending. Sorry for the incorrect spelling of through.
It was a typo
My father-in-law signed my husband up for this and I thought I would give it a shot to see if we could make some extra money. I really am a medical transcriptionist. I work for a company out of Brentwood, TN, but I get to work from home using ChartMatrix and VoiceWave.
It's a typo - get over it! nm
x
Sorry about that typo!
typo
I meant to say [resent] instead of recent. I hate typos, even in postings---must be the MT in my blood!
Your VPN, no you. typo! nm

Sorry, typo, but I'm not ..
even sure it is the right drug without the context.

Sorry---meant 500/wk!

That is they are here not AR. sorry typo nm.

Sorry for typo. sm
Sorry for typo. Yes, you are right. It's such a small amount, but the principle of the matter as well as her arrogant disposition prompted me to do it. Her lawyer is taking it to trial. We could have settled this thing, but maybe her lawyer is milking her and stroking her pride. Anyway, someone is going to get paid, even if it is not me.
Typo
Was told I could NOT take a vacation....or, not one that included the entire weekend - lol!
typo
cataract and not enough coffee. :)
"It" not I. sorry for the typo. nm
x
it was a typo - LOOKOUT.....NM
yes, but there are not just typo errors. sm
A wrong word, i.e., peroneal instead of perineal, and the list goes on ad infinitum, or a sentence ending in the wrong place. There are any number of things a spellchecker will not catch. I proof totally when I transcribe. Having worked in QA for a long long time, even very very good MTs make some pretty bad mistakes from time to time.
sorry for typo, should be "looking bad" (sm)
Sorry for the typo...should have been "looking bad". I just woke up and am checking my email, etc. I worked 2nd/3rd last night. I know it is no excuse for a typo, but my brain is not in "work mode" just yet.......
[[[[[[Seems like I've heard that you have to let it get a certain length before you wax? Waxing seems like it would be great, but if I had to wait even 1 day with it looking back, or heaven forbid, dayssss, no way. Is that true, or can you just do it as soon as you see a sign of more growth? Seriously, I've always wondered about this....not OP, but this post caught my eye too.]]]]]]
Please, one typo is NOT the problem..
x
typo--that should be WEBSITE
long day 
I would count as a typo
especially if I felt the MT knew her stuff.... this kind of thing happens - QA supposedly was an MT themselves in a previous life- do you think this never happened to them? I might not even count it depending on the MT and my mood! :)
Please disregard the typo . . .
I see that I have mixed the words. It just makes me mad to see QA with "experience" pick on those trying to make it. Seems like you tend to forget how it was in your beginning years.
oops -- typo
Fingers are not working today. Sorry. :(
Ooops! Typo.
 I did type it wrong on my original post. It is Ctrl+Insert+Insert that I use. I am out of it today...typical Monday blahs. Thanks!
I repeat - and YOU have never had a typo?

Landlord (sorry about typo) nm

This wasn't just one typo, there were several.
.
Excuse the typo
I mean't go not bo in earlier post.
Sorry about the typo - forgive me
Sorry for the typo . . .
wow..got me on a typo...see!!..you are worth
x
Please excuse the typo...
Should read... if I can swing the 8 cpl that was offered to me.
You probably had a typo in several of your passwords
when you typed it.
Why did it go through one time? That's when you typed it right.
Maybe they blocked you, were your emails 'nasty'?
The Daily Typo: - (sm)
What was dictated: "He had normal fundi bilaterally."
What I typed: "He had normal FUNGI bilaterally."
Mental image that conjured up: Dude with large mushrooms sprouting out of his ears!
Thanks! I'm assuming that was a typo, you
meant *hook up to both MONITORS* I hope....
But thanks for giving me a starting point....I'm gonna ask about that switch the Best Buy near my house...
Thanks again!
Hey you made a typo. Why would you go backwards? Cause you don't like your job.
That's why people don't like editor. Read between the lines. This editor/poster feels it is going "backwards" to be an MT. I rest my case.
That should be "can" - typo police. nm
nm
Sorry for typo above (Tansforlife-error)
When I found this to be true (work available but blocked out), I called and questioned it. Perhaps she should do the same.
How the heck do you edit a typo??
