Lost in Translation
We went out to dinner with another couple last night. One of them had been a medical transcriptionist. The doctor dictates and the transcriptionist puts it into the computer. Lots of that stuff is done in India now, but some additional quality control is needed, and my friend did some of that.
For example, it once happened that "jumped off a boat and broke his elbow" became "jacked off a goat and broke his elbow".
I suppose it really does not matter that much - the treatment for the elbow would still be the same.
