eerie errors

for people who are not living in the world of MT, you may not understand this... and those who are studying or working as a medical transcriptionist may not even find this funny... but i do... so i compiled some that tickled my funny bones. hope you have a good laugh...

"in respect for modifications" (risk factor modifications) (too polite)

"anesthesial cystitis" (interstitial cystitis) (i didn't know a cyst can actually do that)

"After informed consent, arterial access with a teeth in the right groin with a 6-French sheath." (was achieved) (does it have braces too?)

"ischemic STD changes" (ST-T changes) (okay... i nearly died!)

"Hemoglobin A1c within New Orleans with the upper end." (within normal limits) (ok, so how about in new york city?)

"puffy nodule" (prostate nodule) (baka puyat yung nodule! hehe. i can't blame the MT as the doctor dictating is usually very hard to decipher, parang galing sa ilalim ng lupa!)

"We would like you to consider her for viroxime (OOPHORECTOMY) given that she is at high risk of developing metastatic disease due to her stage, as necessity (ETHNICITY) and her2/NEU positivity." (i'm not sure how this happened... the doctor has very nice voice and diction.)

"She is able to ambulate turns her feet with a rolling walker." (200 feet) (ew, scary!)

and how about this... "Blood cultures were obtained, which did come back positive for some stuff " (Staph)

more next time...
