Aliceanne, That reminds me of the commercial I have just started hearing on the

radio for a drug store. I swear the announcer says that this is the place to go

for all our HEALTHY SHOES. It always cracks me up when I realize he meant

health issues. I keep wondering if anyone other than a transcriptionist would

hear it the way I do. Margaret

PS Glad you could find something to laugh at anyway. MG

I already mentioned to you what is happening with the death of my friend.

Well in the middle of my dictation doctor is discussing a surgical

procedure and in the plan she dictates a below knee cast and what did I

hear: A BALONEY CAST....

Oh well. It was a relief anyway.

Talking about commercials I have a good one: It is an radio announcement

for either an orthopedic center or chiropractic and the announcers always

comment on the wording and laugh but the producers never change it. It

goes something like this: we specialize in bad back surgery.

I think they mean they treat failed surgeries.

LOL Margaret and Aliceanne! My favorite mis-heard moment was back in high

school, trying to wake up after a late night of reading. My dad had the radio on

in the bathroom and I KNEW it was the weather report...but what I heard was

" Apache groundhogs burning up midmorning " . It was really patchy ground fog, but

I had this image of groundhogs in war paint and feather the rest of the day.

Re: Some humor in transcription

One of the funniest I've heard was posted by Dawn Villejoin on the MedTrans

list:

D: The patient had 2+ pitting edema around the ankle.

T: The patient had 2 pus-spitting demons around the ankle.

I'm ROFL every time I read this!!

I think one of the funniest ones I have ever had was while typing a report where

the patient had apparently had some sort of breast surgery, the doctor dictated

something to the effect of " an elliptical incision on the nipple. " I (being

tired and overworked) typed " ... put the lips up on the nipple. " I nearly wet

my pants when I noticed it! Who knew our work was rated R?

Couple that with one of my doc's phrases of: " Her breasts were

outstanding, " and I think we have a winner. <G>
