Just a few more funnies.......

"ducks" used for ducts

"cabbage" used for CABG

1. Do MT Agencies or outsourcing MT organisations in USA, hire only female MT's for their In-house or at home Mt work??? Please advise.
2. Do male MT's outnumber female MT's or is it vice-versa. What is the ratio ???
3. I assume - for 2nd shift (3.00 noon to 11 pm shift) & sometimes even maybe 3rd shift, Male MT's are preferred anywhere, in the UK or US. Please advise.
Need replies from experienced MT's to my Queries posted on 23rd and 24th August.
Waiting for replies. Thanks and waiting for replies. Will appreciate replies from Somara too.

I had two today that made me wonder if the doctors pay any attention to what they are saying sometimes:

Reason for consultation: Gunshot wound to the head.

Trauma history: The patient has no trauma history and no history of head injury.

(I guess a gunshot wound is not traumatic?)

Reason for consultations: Seizures

Past medical history: The patient has no history of seizures or syncopal episodes.

??? Hmmmm... Maybe they were imagined? hehehehehehe

Here's a couple that struck me funny today!

The patient lives at home with a wife. (one would only hope that it is his own wife and not someone else's, eh?)

He weighs eighty-one hundred and fifty-two pounds. (Jeeze, how did they get him to the hospital, by crane?)

Had a funny one tonight.

"This 89-year-old male was brought to the ER by his mother."

Boy, I hope she wasn't doing the driving!!

How about "the patient does not smell,I mean smoke." Makes you wonder if the patient really did smell!

Here's a good one :

One of the doctor's includes a copy of the patient information sheet with their past medical history, etc to save dictating time. One of the questions is "married, single, widowed, divorced" and the patient had actually marked "married and single". The best part of it is the fact that I am very good friends with the patient's ex-wife! No wonder she dumped him!

Hi...I am new here but have found this topic comical. Thanks for the laughs. I thought I would share one of my doctor's funnies...he always says "child flew ass over tea kettle" when he is talking about a child who flew over the handle bars of their bike.

The accent did this transcriptionist in...

Dictated: The patient had anal herpes.

Transcribed: The patient had anal hairpiece!

I just cried when I heard this one!

Laughs to all!

Our office received back an OR report stating that the patient "was prepped and raped in the usual fashion".

Geez!! Those spelling mistakes can really cause a problem, can't they?!!
