Why do we pay these transcriptionists?

So I spent a little time today editing my dictations for the last month or so. ::sigh:: Here's a direct quote from one of them:

"He has had multiple spontaneous pneumothoraces at about age 21, which required multiple tattoos and eventual surgery. "

What I dictated was, "which required multiple chest tubes."

Different.

Multiple tattoos? Really? Did that make any sense??

Only if you have my hearing and have tattoos on the brain at the time you are transcribing. hehe

I'd like a prescription for a new tattoo too please. LOL

Our transcriptionsits ruined my delicate dissection of a young man's Oedipal complex and instead told the story of his "possible complex." Which was not my intent.
