ASR example inside, unreal. nm
Doc says: The patient was taken to the operating room and placed on the operating table in the supine position. ASR interprets: The patient preoperatively. Tablespoon position. It should also be noted that this doc says the same sentence at the beginning of all his operative reports, so this has been corrected multiple times. Terrible program. eScription might be a good company to buy us. I have heard that their speech recognition program is very good.
I just HAD to post this! Unreal!
Yahoo had an article about careers that you can "do from home to earn $30K to $70K.....I KNEW the MT biz would be on there. Although I don't agree with everything folks say regarding the eventual decline and demise of the profession, this particular snippet could be a reason why things are going in the downhill direction. I'll highlight my favorite parts!

Wasnt' that post scary? Isn't it UNREAL?? Who cares if we type drugs wrong, right?
I could go on and on about the STUPID mistakes MTs make - perfect dictators - just stupid lazy mistakes - wrong drugs and meds entirely - happens all the time. Forget dosages. If doctors had to rely on this typed garbaged (used typed intentionally - transcribed doesn't fit), they'd kill most of us as patients. And some MTs have an attitude about it? So frightening. But lets' give 'em bonuses and incentives to GET IT RIGHT!
