Re: Surgical word

I do not know how others would handle it, but I would send him a polite
little note saying that when he dictates notes on the train there is so much
background noise that you cannot be responsible for the accuracy of the
report and regret the frequency of blanks.

If I did not have access to the doctor directly, I would notify the
service--they should send him a note to that effect.

What do the rest of you do in those situations? I have one doctor I send
e-mail notes to with any problems, and I still print for one doctor (with
delivery only once weekly--told him if he wanted it more often they would
have to print them in the office) so I can still tag the reports with such
problems (he just walks away and keeps recording with the recorder on the
desk--I have to change the volume control, and then I get blasted when he
comes back!).

I overlook occasional problems, as do most of us I presume, but if it is a
chronic problem I would certainly let them know about it.

In a dictation with lots of background noise, under surgical findings
(yep, same doc, again dictating on a train), he's talking about the
location of a mass in the pancreas:

"There was a discrete, roughly 3-cm mass in the head of the pancreas which
extended to the uncinate and posterior to the superior mesenteric vein and
artery. This was encroaching on the superior mesenteric vein just
inferior to the (s/l osmos) with the splenic vein."

Part of the word may be clipped, but there's train noise and a banging in
the background, and it's hard to tell. This is probably something I
should know, but it's frustrating me to death!!

Thanks!
