As a medical transcriptionist, my mom can decipher meaning from the mayhem of foreign doctors' dictations. And she can do it at the rate of over a hundred words a minute.
Example.
I heard: A sturdy turdist.
She heard: Respiratory therapist.
Aside from her other special power (inexhaustible dialogue), I'd say that's pretty impressive. I'd also say I wouldn't last long as a medical transcriptionist.

She should be able to list on a resume that ability as the equivalent of "fluent in a foreign language."
So you don't think the doctor actually SAID a sturdy turdist? Because that totally could be something a doctor would say!
I saw a shirt on a mommy blog that said:
I make milk.
What's YOUR superpower.
I loved it!
That is a seriously specialized super power.
Thanks Darlin:
I always thought I had special powers - but seeing it actually written on paper - well it makes it really true doesn't it?
Mum
