Combat Pay Please

I do medical transcription both for native English dictators and those who speak English as a second language. Most people think it's the latter who would be the hardest to listen and transcribe, but honestly, it's usually the former! Bad grammar, speaking softly, speaking 90 miles an hour, eating, talking to the staff and dictating at the same time...don't these professionals realize they are dictating a legal document? One that could be presented in a court of law some day? I just spent 2+ hours trying to decifer a letter from an American dictator, and it was near torture. For a good transcriptionist, typing something verbatim (exactly as dictated) from a doctor who apparently failed basic grammar is like fingernails on a blackboard. I would have been happy to have had complete sentences that actually made sense, but alas, it wasn't to be. Para (within) or peri (in between)? To which Dr. Smith would you like a copy sent? Are you sure the patient had a baby 3 years after you said she had a hysterectomy? It's times like these when I'm glad I'm just a number at the bottom of the report and not a full name. lol When the kids are grown and out of the house, I would love to travel and teach doctors how to dictate properly. But until then, some doctors deserve combat pay, and it would definitely be appreciated!
