Outstanding Dictator

Ryan got this letter in the mail this week and was very encouraged. He takes time (often after hours) to record verbal dictations on all of his patients. Apparently he is doing a great job! I'm not surprised.

Dear Dr. Cox,

This letter is to inform you that the transcription staff at Spectrum Health nominated you as an Outstanding Dictator for 2006/2007. The criteria they used to determine the qualities of an outstanding dictator were:
  • Consistently dictates in a clear and concise manner
  • Includes all necessary data at the beginning of each report
  • Takes the time to spell difficult terms, medications, equipment, and consulting physician's names/specialities
  • Courteous to transcription staff at all times
Please accept our congratulations on your nomination, and out wishes for your continues excellent dictation practices. We want to thank you for making our job a joy!

Sincerely,
Joyce R Smith, Manager
Transcription Services

Only one dictator is better than Cox--Fidel Castro, with Saddam coming in a close third.

Dear Amber: We were so pleased to hear Ryan was honored, but are not surprised. He is such a dedicated, sweet and thoughtful doctor, I'm sure he will get many more rewards for his dedicated service. Please give him a hug for us. We are so proud of you both. Granny

I think that you should frame the award "Outstanding Dictator." I am sure that my students think the same thing of me...probably the negative kind though. Way to go Ryan!
