You are so right - We had Rita here.

In Reply to: Not MT-related but I must vent - regarding post Wilma

They always say 3 days supply.  We only had a lot of wind and some trees down where I live, power was back on in 2 days, and it took a week before the stores were stocked.  There was barely any meat, dairy, water or ice for at least 4-5 days.  Some stores had it, some didn't.  If we had really gotten hit hard, we would have been out of luck with a 3-day supply.  It certainly taught me a lesson.  I would think people in Florida would know this too.

I didn't get your post either Rita.
Did he do the face lift or not?  If he did the face lift and dictated it at a later date and predated the report then that goes on all of the time.  When a doctor fails to dictate then it is is dictated at a later date but the date of the actual service or the study, etc. is performed usually does not change. 
Well Rita, what happened in your case is not the same as...sm
what is being described in the original post. According to the original post, information is being gleaned from other reports and used to generate a new report with a different heading. Same information, different report type. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with making things up or "putting things in that did not happen or exist." If the information in the transcriptionist-generated report only contains information that already exists in other reports, then all that is taking place is just a reorganization of previously authenticated information. Completely different than what happened in your case where information was falsified by claiming that something was done that, in fact, was not.

Actually, the physician involved might actually look at the whole thing as doing him/her a favor by taking care of something they may have possibly overlooked, although it's more likely they were just procrastinating. Either way, the physician looks at the report and either signs it or they don't. What's the big deal?
Anyone else along the gulf coast who is watching Rita?

Rita now a category 4 and taking same path as Katrina.
Those poor souls.  Hurricane season gets worse and worse every year!
Hurricane Rita just upgraded to Category 5 with winds of 165 mph
I hope everyone from TX stays safe. Learn from Katrina.
Breaking news. Bush directs H. Rita to Texas in order to curb illegal Mexicans from entering border.
LOL
