Medical Transcription Funnies

These are a few slips of the tongue that were actually dictated to me by doctors during my career as a medical transcriptionist.

"The patient's name is knee pain, status post fall."

"This is a healthy-appearing male who appears to be acutely ill."

"The patient had a normal, spontaneous cesarean section." (I really wonder about that one!)

"oh my gosh, I fell asleep! I can't believe I fell asleep while I was dictating ..."

The physicians and patients will remain anonymous.
