Doctor Uses Dictation Machine During Patient’s Medical Exam

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have recently begun seeing a new physician who dictates into a recorder during my entire exam. I ﬁnd this very off-putting and don’t know what to do. Here is an example:

Doctor: What brings you in today?

Me: I have a sore throat.

Doctor speaks into to the recorder: Patient presents a complaint of a sore throat today.

Doctor: When did it start?

Me: Thursday.

Doctor speaks into to the recorder: Patient states that it began Thursday. This back and forth into the recorder continues for the entire visit. I don’t feel as if I can really have a discussion about a concern with him when he continues to interrupt me to dictate. I feel as if I am bothering him while he is working if I want to add a detail or expound on what I said.

I understand physicians are under pressure to complete their charting, and their schedules are very full, but I also believe that building a rapport is important for the doctor-patient relationship. This is not possible when I am stopped every few sentences so he can dictate.

There is no head physician or practice manager to discuss this with. Do I bring it up directly with him or say nothing? Or should I ﬁnd a new physician? -- N.F.H.

ANSWER: I would also feel frustrated if my doctor did this to me. It does make it seem like writing the note is more important than listening to the patient. Even the doctor who stays behind a computer screen to make notes may not seem present in the exam room, and I certainly have been guilty of this on occasion.

I will say that newer technology may help solve this problem. When I saw my own doctor last month, I noticed that he placed his phone down, but I didn’t pay any more attention until he showed me (after the visit) what the “AI scribe” wrote as a chart note without him doing anything. I was impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the note that was seemingly written without him having to change his usual questions. (I did agree to the use of this technology before the ofﬁce visit.)

I have also had human scribes in the room when I’ve seen a doctor (dermatology in particular), and while it’s easier to connect with the doctor who is paying attention to me instead of their charting, having another human in the room does feel less private.

What your doctor does seems clunky and, in some ways, the worst of both worlds. It won’t be easy to bring it up with him directly, but this is the only alternative to ﬁnding a new doctor. Even if you do ﬁnd a new doctor, your original doctor should know that his using a dictation machine is costing him patients.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

CONSUMPTION

Maintain appliances and replace older ones. While reducing reliance on energy-thirsty appliances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain appliances so they are not forced to work harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the ﬁlters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’reoperatingatpeakcapacity. Replace older appliances, including refrigerators, that are no longer effective.

OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT ESSENTIALS

Projector and screen: A screen and a way to project the movie are must-haves for any outdoor movie night.Projectors should be small enough that they can be carried outside, but large enough to emit enough light to ﬁll the screen. Options range anywhere from $400 and up for quality projectors.

Outwitting the scammers

My phone number appears to have gotten on another list somewhere, and the potential scammers are coming out of the woodwork -- again. I have my suspicions about where they could have found my number this time, but I can’t prove it, of course. All I can do is keep fending them off ... by not answering the phone if I don’t recognize the number or hanging up quickly if I’ve answered and realize it’s a scam. After a period of time, it will wind down as they don’t have the satisfaction of anyone answering or falling for their scheme.

I try to stay off their radar by keeping to a minimum the number of places that have my information, but sometimes it’s just required that you provide a phone number. We have to weigh the value of what we’ll get -- perhaps it’s the grocery store loyalty card that requires a phone number to sign up, or even for voter registration -- versus the potential abuse of our phone number when the scammers get it.

I keep a spare email address for the same reason. If forced to give one out, and not really trusting what will be done with it, I give the “trash” address and once a month go through and delete what generally turns out to be 95% spam email.

Then there are the passwords for the things we need to do online. We’re advised to have “strong” passwords, but what does that really mean? It means using all the types of keys on the keyboard: upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. Don’t go with something that’s too easy for a thief to ﬁgure out, like the name of your former high school.

We can outwit the thieves who want our money and peace of mind. It just takes a little work.

Flying Objects Kids Day Takes Off at the National Warplane Museum

BY SUZIE WELLS

BRANDON HUBBARD RELEASES PRIZE GLIDER

“Technology will always advance, so [we strive to] get kids’ minds educated and ready to advance with technology. The more education, the better. What’s the point of sitting on all this knowledge if we don’t pass it to the younger generations?”

ROLAND HAYES, VOLUNTEER

e National Warplane Museum in Geneseo held its ﬁrst large-scale children’s event this May – Flying Objects Kids Day – drawing over 250 preregistered attendees for a fun-ﬁlled day of aviation-themed activities, cra s, and exhibits.

Children of all ages delighted in an up-close look at aviationinaction.Ahalf-scalelunarlanderandahotair balloon basket burner demonstration captivated many, while other featured exhibits included a glider fromtheFingerLakesSoaringClub,colorfulparasails and paragliders from the Rochester Area Flyers, and launches by the Monroe Astronomical Rocket Society and the Free Flight Society of Western NY. Educational volunteers were stationed throughout, sharing insights and igniting curiosity in all things ﬂight-related.

Event coordinator, Ruth Henry, says, “ is event is an initiative to give young people a reason to come, romp the ﬁelds, and see all the cool planes and stuﬀ. Typically when you think of warplanes, you think of veterans, so we launched this initiative to show kids it’s for everyone.”

Hands-On Learning and STEAM Focus

Designed for ages 4-14, Flying Objects Kids Day included nine cra and activity stations, each encouraging participation and discovery. Children earned prizes a er completing three activities, and a paper airplane contest – rewarding distance and accuracy with ice cream cones – quickly became a fan favorite.

e event emphasized the core principles of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education, and activities highlighted the four elements of ﬂight: thrust, drag, li , and gravity. “Education should be engaging and fun,” says event co-chair and retired 6th-grade history teacher, Holly Stettner, who adds, “One never knows who you are inspiring to dream big one day! Show kids a problem and let them ﬁgure it out.”

Many home-educating families attended, thanks to early outreach through the Rochester and Livingston County Homeschool networks. Henry says, “It seemed a natural fit. Home-educating families look for academic, hands-on, accessible, and affordable activities, and Flying Objects Kids Day fit the bill.”

A Living Museum Experience

Beyond the activity stations, the museum welcomed families into the historic Long Hanger, where artifacts from past conﬂicts are on display. Meanwhile, volunteers in the Big Hanger performed maintenance on Whiskey-7 and other vintage aircra , preparing them for the summer airshow season. Visitors could ask questions and tour planes under restoration. Aircra Maintenance and Operations Director Craig Wadsworth was thrilled to see so many young families in the hanger.

Henry believes events like this offer more than entertainment – they offer context, especially for the younger generations who didn’t experience the direct conflicts. “Younger audiences get a sense of what it takes to preserve freedom in America and the sacrifices so many made to do that.”

Volunteer Roland Hayes says, “It’s about more than just aviation – it’s navigation, electronics, and radar. Technology will always advance, so [we strive to] get kids’ minds educated and ready to advance with technology. e more education, the better. What’s the point of sitting on all this knowledge if we don’t pass it to the younger generations?”

Looking Ahead

Backed by a grant from the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts and sponsorship from REMAX and Community Bank, admission to the event was free, making it even more accessible to local families. Henry thanks the volunteers who shared their time and insights to enrich this day.

Discussion is already underway for a 2026 installment of Flying Objects Kids Day, with the museum eager to expand its youth-focused programming. “ e stories and history housed here at e National Warplane Museum are important and worthy of attention from young and old,” said Henry. “We do a good job with adults and seniors; now we’re focusing on inspiring the youth.”

As Stettner says, “If we can start with aviation, that might lead to a child chasing another STEM ﬁeld later.” She also notes that the museum tends to suit children who need a quieter, gentler environment to thrive.

Coming is Summer

Mark your calendars for the museum’s signature summer event, e Greatest Show on Turf Air Show. is year’s theme, Battles of the Paciﬁc, honors the 80th anniversary of VJ Day with aerial reenactments and displays of legendary warbirds alongside cuttingedge military jets.

LOCAL LEGENDS: PETS IN TOWN HISTORY

Some small towns in WNY have unofﬁcial pet legends. One Mount Morris tale speaks of a retriever who used to walk to the post ofﬁce each day to greet the mail carrier. In another, a tabby cat in Holley reportedly “attended” the 4th of July picnic every year for a decade. While details blur with time, these stories live on in family memories, old photos, and small-town lore. Got a local pet story? Write it down—you might just be preserving the next legend.

HOW TO MAKE FATHER’S DAY MORE ENJOYABLE FOR DAD

R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending.

GRADUATION GIFT IDEAS

Family vacation: For college graduates, a voucher for a fun, old-fashioned vacation can bring the family together one last time before jobs and mismatched schedules get in the way.

HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS

Do your research: Chances are business owners can ﬁnd a number of festival or marketplace opportunities in or around their communities each month. Some of these festivals may be large scale events like annual Christmas bazaars, while others might be more toned down affairs that occur each week. Business owners can research local festivals, paying particular attention to how communities market the events and which businesses attend them. Community turnout is another signiﬁcant factor to consider. Such research can help business owners determine which festivals best suit their businesses and what they’re hoping to accomplish.

Dansville Rotary

A heartfelt thank you from all of us at Dansville Rotary for voting us Best Community Organization in Livingston County! We’re honored by your support and proud to serve such an amazing community.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net proﬁts on the meals they sell.

Kudos to Avon CSD and all the Organizers

A heartfelt thanks and congratulations goes out to everyone involved in making the Special Olympics event at Avon Central School on May 29th happen. It was a wonderful experience for the athletes and families. Watching the smiles of the athletes and hearing the crowd cheer them on was heartwarming. Great job hosting an event that created happy memories for so many people!

You Saved My Day!

As I was leaving a local laundromat and not watching where I was going, I tripped, fell off the curb and landed headﬁrst in the parking lot. I’d like to extend sincere and heartfelt thanks to the lady who immediately came to my aid, helped me to stand up and into my car.

Scams

I could see how people get scammed with fake phone calls, texts, or links. Some of them are clearly fake, but this past month I’ve gotten multiple spam calls about back taxes. I have an accountant, I know they’re fake calls, but I could see how someone would believe them or simply clicking a link can leave a pixel on your computer, grabbing your information. I’m not too old and could fall for some of these scams. Makes me feel bad for the elderly who could get these and not know any better.

Learn Your Plants Before You

Buy

I was in the returns line at [Local Store] behind a man returning two hanging baskets of healthy Dianthus plants. He told the cashier that the pots had been covered with blooms when he bought them, but now the ﬂowers were gone. How on earth does someone make it to their late 60’s and not know that Dianthus need to be deadheaded?

LEAVING A JOB GRACEFULLY

Speak with your manager first. It’s respectful for your immediate manager or supervisor to learn of your departure first. This gives him or her ample time to put a plan in place to fill your position. The more notice you can give, the more goodwill you’re building on your way out the door. Schedule a meeting for this purpose; do not make it an informal chat by the water cooler. Resist the urge to quit via email or text. Resigning requires face-toface communication. Present a concise letter of resignation as well. Don’t call out colleagues or air your grievances in the letter.
