Yes jno I did that on purpose, I didn't want to bore everyone.

Woof, when I was a secretary my boss would dictate and very often said ridiculous stuff, it was my job to make sense of it and type it how it should be. Were these secretaries told to type the notes up literally.? Evidently they didn't go to my sec school.

jem
Thank you so much for this, came on here to check something out and found your post first, and i already feel better, didn't think i would smile today but this made me laugh.
Question Author
Awww! Pessi, I'm glad. Take care.

jem
I thought that med secs weren't allowed to change what had been dictated? Isn't it supposed to be verbatim what the doc has said?
Question Author
MMMM! dunno woofy, can only say how it was for me.
Surely these doctors (if it was down to them) know the p*ss is being taken out of them wouldd make sure their dictation was right, Anyway these highly educated people couldn't be so semi illiterate, Could they? . My 11 yr old niece has a better idea of things than they..

Oh Jem tell me about it..........(retired Occupational Therapist)
