Dictations

this is the first rotation where we have to do dictations. since this hospital does not have electronic medical records, we have to call a phone service and dictate all of our admission H&Ps and it gets typed out by a service. i discovered on my 30 hour call tonight that its really hard to dictate a note when you have worked all freaking day and are falling asleep on the phone. im pretty sure the person that typed out my note thought i was a complete moron because i stutter and cant spell when im tired. just picture me trying to read and talk fast while trying to keep sense of what is going on with the patient. oops.
