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.
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Q. A.
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.

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.
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.

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?

CPR and first aid for dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Several years ago, my family’s dog “Aker” passed away when his heart stopped. We were never sure why this happened, and I was just a kid. But I’ve always wondered if it was possible to perform CPR on a pet if this happens in the future. I adopted a puppy recently and I want to be able to help him whenever he’s hurt or injured. -- Becca R. in Boulder, Colorado
DEAR BECCA: You can perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a pet whose heart has stopped -- in fact, you can even get training on pet CPR and first aid through the Red Cross.
The process for pet CPR is very similar to that of human CPR. If a dog or cat becomes ill and collapses, you first check for breathing and heartbeat -- look to see if their chest is moving, and place your hand on their chest to feel for a heartbeat. If there is no heartbeat or breathing, place the pet on their right side and perform chest compressions directly over their heart at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Give rescue breaths every 30 compressions. Keep performing CPR until they begin to breathe on their own, or until you reach the emergency vet clinic. Those instructions don’t reveal some key factors, like: What if a dog is barrel-chested? How do you give rescue breaths to a large dog? Pet CPR and first-aid training will answer those questions, and help you feel confident that you can provide immediate care for illness, shock or injury until your pet can get to the vet for advanced care.

FESTIVAL ROOTS: FROM PATCH TO PARADE
Did you know the first Albion Strawberry Festival was held in the late 1980s? It began as a small, community-driven event to highlight local farms, especially those producing fresh summer berries. Over the years, it’s grown into a two-day celebration featuring hundreds of vendors, live music, a classic car show, and a grand parade. But at its core, the festival still honors its simple beginnings: celebrating local agriculture, creativity, and community connection.

Parents of school-aged youngsters may wonder how often children betweentheagesofsixand11need to bathe.According to the American Academy of Dermatology, children between the ages of six and 11 may not require a daily bath.Though it’s worth noting that such children can take daily baths, the AAD notes that children in this age group need a bath at least once or twice per week, but beyond that bathing schedules may be contingent on a host of variables specific to each child. For example, children will need a bath after swimming in a pool, lake or ocean regardless of how long it’s been since their most recent bath. In addition, children who get dirty playing or those who are sweaty or develop body odor during the day should take a bath at night. It’s also noteworthy that showers can enter kids’ hygiene routine around age six or seven. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that six- or seven-year-old children are typically capable of cleaning their bodies and washing their hair by themselves in the shower.

DID YOU KNOW?
Computers are vital for work or school. Computers can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a basic model to upwards of $3,000 for a top-ofthe-line machine. Either way, purchasing a computer involves a considerable sum of money and buyers may wonder just how far that money will go in terms of the computer’s longevity. According to the technology resource Nerds on Site®,theaveragelifeofacomputer falls between three to eight years, and varies depending on the type of thecomputerandhowitisbeing used. A desktop computer tends to lastaroundfiveyears,whilelaptops have shorter lifespans because of the batteries needed to keep them running, damage that can occur when transporting the devices and heat buildup from inefficient cooling.Despite the relatively short lifespan of modern computers, users who emphasize proper care and maintenance can likely add years to the life expectancies of their devices.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL KIDS’ BIRTHDAY PARTY
Keep the menu simple. Planning the party for between meal times means children won’t be overly hungry and snacks will suffice.Serve a mix of healthy options like fruit and party staples like chips. Children can be messy, so avoid anything that can melt or get sticky, like chocolate or candy. Cupcakes always are easier than slicing cake. But donut holes or cookies also may be options.
