Hi, this is Yesmam helping out dear old Dad, so bear with us. My
father is a physician in New Jersey within a 40 minute drive to NYC.
He is interested in finding an instructor and supplier in Dragon
Medical Systems. he has a high volume of examinations and has to
dictate many reports, but is not a great typist. If any of the
brilliant members of the Great Google Answer Team can help this fine
person, my wonderful Dad, we will give away my father's favorite gold
scalpel.
Thank you for your anticipated resonse,
Yesmam

Hello yesmam,

My husband occasionally uses Dragon Naturally Speaking, the home
version, with very good results. (He?s an even worse typist than am
I!). I had serious doubts, but after a little practice, Dragon even
coped with his Oklahoma accent! (No offense to my friend and fellow
researcher, pinkfreud!)

Well, yesmam, I hope this helps Dr. Dad locate some training! Please
assure your dad that I could not  accept his golden scalpel, and that
I am happy to be able to help! I?ve worked in the medical field over
25 years myself, and know how dear those things can be! When I was
young, my dad brought home a glass urinal - the hospital in which he
worked decided to go to stainless steel. I still have that glass
urinal, full of potpourri, in my bathroom!

If any part of my answer is unclear, please request an Answer
Clarification, before rating. This will allow me to assist you
further, if possible.

Sincerely,
crabcakes-ga

yesmam-ga rated this answer:5 out of 5 stars and gave an additional tip of: $10.00
To the delicious crabcake: You have done a tremendous job. If you
visited us, we would have given you a really good cup of coffee and
your favorite Peptridge Farm cokkies. Where you up all night answering
this? You are indeed an exemplary member of the Genius Googling Answer
Corps. We could not have found this information in five years and
really, really appreciate all the great work that you have done. On
behalf of Dr. Dad, will you accept ten dollars extra for you to spend
towards your next pair of stronger reading glasses?
Thanks very much,
Yesmam

accepted a cup of coffee with Pepridge Farm Orange Milano
cokkies...mmmmmm.
