I called the radiology center and they found the x-ray for comparison and amended the report. The report now looks much better and in the addendum, it says:
Paragraph one should say...
Paragraph two should say...So it's all fixed now.
The report, anyway.
My keyboard broke Friday morning and my power went out Friday afternoon. Monday, the gal I needed to talk to wasn't in, so Tuesday, I finally got her.
She took offense that I was offended at the quality of their reports. She then looked at it, and I pointed out all the problems, and mentioned that I had a screen print of reactions from the MT community of that report. She backpedaled a minute, then said it was the doc's fault for not sending it for editing :(
I informed her that if they ever have problems with VR (she said it was really helpful because finding qualified transcriptionists was hard), I'd be happy to support them by submitting this, but she said the doc needed to review it or send it to edit. I challenged her to go pull 10 MRI reports and see how many errors she found on legal records that make the doc look like an idiot.
So, I've got what I wanted...I guess. The report is fixed and they know where I stand on the issue. Now I have to deal with the fact that TE's knees hurt, doc sent him for x-rays, the lesion came back on the x-ray, they sent him for an MRI to check on the lesion, and the incidental finding was of the lateral meniscus separation. It now goes back to the original thing that his knees were hurting, so we're eventually going to have to have the other knee imaged, as well.
Oh, and I have jury duty summons for the week my boss begged me not to have anything going to take extra work. Yeah, all those $$ going out the window. I think I'll be disqualified just because I type legal documents and probably will answer questions truthfully, which they won't want to hear, but it's all day, maybe more, and it sucks. It's also during the week after Tiger's Eye sees the ortho, so who knows what testing I'll need done?
I'm about to lose my mind.

Couple things - what about the patients who DON'T know what to look for and get treated, or not, for what IS wrong with them? GRRR

I had to return because I realized that my comments weren't exactly sanity savers.
