Screaming mammograms

Posted By: SCMT on 2007-06-20
In Reply to: Bilateral screaming mammogram - Rad MT

I transcribed radiology for years and one radiologist always said BILATERAL SCREAMING MAMMOGRAMS. He also had other "pet names" for certain studies - at least it helps to know that some have a sense of humor or are they sadistic??? either way - breaks up the monotony of transcribing radiology.

What is it about radiologists who dictate mammograms?

We had one at a hospital where I worked who was constantly making jokes. If someone had an unusual name, he would find a humorous way to mispronounce it, and then say, "Boy, that's a mouthful! Oops - not supposed to say that when I'm dictating mammograms!" Or if the patient had the same name as someone famous, like Elizabeth Taylor, he would say, "Just call me 'radiologist to the stars'!"

Silly, but it certainly brightened up my day.

Thanks - all I can say is "get your mammograms, ladies."
I do advise that if you have a chronic illness of any kind, keep your medical records with you and copies of your studies, get 2nd and maybe 3rd opinions. Know as much about your illness as possible. Don't leave it up to the staff/doctor.

Mammograms are going to PenRad in the local hospital's Radiology dept.

Have to be screaming

There is no work on the account they were just hired for. Explain that one.

ESL - screaming with you
How can we be held to line count when getting 4 or 5 of those ESLs in a row, or "Dr. Don't Care". MTs need to walk on water and make a perfect report. Maybe it's slop in, slop out. I try but's its difficult. I want to throw my headset across the room sometimes and just quit...lol but I need the job.

hello, screaming Mimi, where are you?....nm

I say she was screaming with good reason
If you don't want to work for her, then don't apply. It's a free country.

I agree that all caps=screaming .
I would try to politely let her know. That could save her from an embarassing situation in the future.

Bilateral screaming mammogram
The doctor said that, then got so tickled at herself that she could hardly go on with the dictation.

Go with your gut, Patti - my gut is turning and screaming Indian - sm
but then again, it could just be increased peristaltic activity... but I doubt it

Total incompetence and I'd be screaming big time.
Just recently had a mammogram come back abnormal and had to have another one. Waiting on that radiology report was stressful and if I had to wait longer than a week I'd be asking where it was and you can bet the source of the problem would have been found. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this sloppiness. What does the woman do all day?

screaming into their hand-helds so that the sound is distorted!
