Of all the horrid things I see from MTs and MDs, this is so BENIGN! Please..he probably meant the patient has never been pregnant and (therefore or so..) has never had a child. This is really too ridiculous to even respond to. LOL!

Either way.......that should have been questioned by

It is being questioned, as I stated, because (sm)
it is unusual. It may not be unusual for you, but it is unusual for many of us (prayer is not unusual, but to hear this being dictated is, and that is coming from someone who prays 5 times daily without fail). She has every right to question any dictation before placing it in the report. If an MT has no right to question any part of a physician's dictation, then what is the MT good for?
But you stated you questioned your lead SM
and nowhere in your original post did I read that anyone checked with the doctor. That is the problem we have. If you or the lead had actually checked and he said to change it, fine. But neither of you checked. You asked the lead, the lead said change it and you changed it.
I had questioned values/dosages by leaving
a blank - QA filled it in with what was said -- totally wrong. All we could do was notify our supervisor if we caught it and who knows what happened there.
We could only send a certain percentage of reports to QA, if over that percentage, then our bonus/incentive/whatever they call it now was affected. Didn't matter the reason we sent it, it was the total number of reports sent.
I remember all that, too. The parents rarely, if ever, questioned the teacher or the principal.
I wonder what the change is? Do we parents have egos because now most of us have as much education as teachers do? Are we unwilling to sit back and never question "authority figures"? Do we remember being wronged in our own childhoods, so we're quick to defend?
I try not to be a buttinsky at my kids' schools, but sometimes I just don't agree with how they're doing things there. One day, three bigger boys with bad home lives and a history of fighting jumped my son, who is the most peaceful kid you've ever met. Two of them held him down while the third one was on top of him punching and kicking him. My son had to bite the kids to get them off of him. He was cut, bruised, and had a bloody nose. Guess who got punished? My son did, for biting. I called the cops and intervened at the school because my son has my full permission to defend himself against bullies, especially on a 3-on-1 situation.
I also remember being punished for things at school when I did nothing wrong, then my parents punished me a second time because of what the teacher said. I got detention for sneezing in class once. One of my teachers publicly humiliated me and threatened to pull me out of all the advanced classes if I didn't publicly apologize to another teacher when I wasn't even the one who said whatever it was she was upset about. One of my male teachers actually picked up a student and slammed him into the chalkboard, ripping the kid's shirt off in the process. So yes, I'm going to stay on the schools and make sure my kids aren't hassled by any burnt out teachers who are just biding their time until retirement. My kids aren't angels, but they're not demon spawn either.
There wasn't job insecurity, unanswered questioned, behind the scene events that could have major
