Recorded Grand Rounds

Johns Hopkins recorded grand rounds. They are discussing cases; it's almost like a diagnostic segment from the show House. I only listened to part of one, but I loved how the lower level doctor writing at the board had trouble understanding the expert doctor talking about diagnostic possibilities - particularly having trouble understanding the abbreviations. He'd be talking on and then suddenly notice that what was written on the board was wrong, and he'd stop and say, No, EBV - no, EBV - Epstein-Barr! So even docs can't understand each other when they're using abbreviations.

To clarify, the dictation is likely recorded at a hospital...
and all the C-phone or Lanier does is access that system. Any hospital that uses a Dictaphone system can be accessed by a c-phone. Seems to me there are some electronic units on the market that can be either Lanier-compatible or C-phone compatible though you would have to ask around about that. Yes, their only purpose is to access dictation that is stored somewhere else...though you could use the C-phone as a regular phone, if you wanted :>) So there are two types of data format nowadays, .wav files (or .dss files) which the file can be transferred via internet and dictaphone/Lanier format which the file has to go through a phone line. And perhaps a few microcasettes are still kicking around. Any other old-timers have anything to add?
