That is such a great point, Janine! We really have to keep an open mind as we hear the dictation. I remember once torturing myself on a report. I was working from home and played the word out loud on the speakers instead of my headset. My husband walked by and said, "Apple. He's saying apple." I was really annoyed that he got it and I didn't. I was expecting a MEDICAL TERM! :)
Years ago people started seeing "Pilates" in reports and most people had never heard of that. It caused some problems. Can you imagine how that one was misspelled. It could be plates, plots, but usually got written as Pilot or Pilate.
People can be injured with construction equipment or materials. There are even some unusual car brands that have been referenced in medical reports before.
