I know where one of mine was yesterday at that time! In the mall, dictating. How do I know? I hear Christmas music, a crowd, and Santa! haha. I just typed this file and turned it in and had to share that little bit of funniness.
I found myself smiling in spite of this being one of my least favorites.
So, a small post for you this bright Friday morning.
Where have Sharon's doctor's dictated from before?????
Well, I can only guess from the sounds around me...err them...but here is a list of educated guesses.
~The bathroom - from door shutting to hand washing...uuugh...
~Office - yea, a big "duh" one here right? Squeaky chairs are the worst!!
~The cafeteria - while eating something crunchy I might add.
~The mall - this mornings fun :)
~At home - cats meowing at me, I hear purring, a huge (at least it sounded huge) dog barking (at which time I cringed from the volume of it), door bell, football games, movies (Scarface anyone? This doctor likes it!), packing for vaca (Paris, I might add), children playing (and squealing, ouch!). My favorite at home sound...Room add-ons/construction!! (hammers, saws, banging...you get the picture)..Heck yea, I wanna decipher what the patient has been diagnosed with while being deafened by those sounds! My dream dictation...(note EXTREME sarcasm).
~Outside - love these files! The doctor sounds so relaxed, I hear birds ( just totally almost spelled that b-u-r-d-s....*blush and giggle*), water flowing, crickets chirping....love it!
~Elevator - The patient-t-t-t-t comes in today-y-y-y....Yeap...echos like crazy!!
~Treadmill/exercising - these can be tough depending on the level of exercise being done! I have had both sides of the spectrum.
~Nurses station - background anyone?? How bout a loud speaker in the middle of the whispering doctor, that'll wake you up!
~Driving! - Yes, driving while dictating and shuffling papers. At one point the doctor ran off the road and onto the rumble strips. Scary....

~Hospital room....with a vomiting patient, PAUSE PLEASE DOCTOR! YUCK
Ready for my worst yet???
A hospital room, with the heart monitor flatlining and audio stopping...yea, not a fun one. I had to take a break after this file. This is the good versus evil of being an MT. You sometimes get fun stuff and sometimes stuff that makes your heart break.
Okay. I have more work to do. I hope you are having a wonderful Friday! Enjoy the weekend!!...
P.S. I am still in my pajamas! I have worn Jeans ONE time this week!! I ♥ being an MT!!
