As transcriptionists and nurses, I would think
we are held to the same standards of patient confidentiality and I sorta found this strange to discuss. My elderly aunt had medical issues- I was not allowed to discuss and have feedback on her condition with her physician or his staff - I could only tell them my concerns as they sat and listened and then they handled things from there.

My doctor has 2 nurses working in his office. nm

I hear wrong dosages all day long from nurses who dictate for docs -
Maybe they are just misspeaking, maybe they really do not know? Really alarming!!!
