I just transcribed a report where the doctor described a patient’s condition as ‘froggy voice.’ I couldn’t help but laugh, wondering if patients ever feel weird about these descriptions. What happens if these quirky terms start catching on? Do we ever consider where this goes next?
I can’t wait for ‘froggy voice’ to make it into the medical textbooks — right next to ‘squeaky wheel syndrome.’ Do you think we’ll eventually have a whole section on animal-themed diagnoses?

Imagine if ‘froggy voice’ leads to a whole range of animal-themed conditions! Maybe we’ll see ‘screech owl syndrome’ for those patients who just can’t stop yelling. What other funny terms do you think we might start hearing in reports, @emma-tay9752?
