Before you start
You will hear a pre-anaesthesia consultation, then sign the note an AI scribe wrote from it. About three minutes. Three questions first.
Your grade
Gulf Arabic
AI scribes
The consultation
Pre-anaesthesia clinic. Omar is 4 and is booked for adenotonsillectomy. You see him with his mother. You both speak Gulf Arabic, and an AI scribe is listening so that it can write the note in English.
- You, the anaesthetist
- Omar's mother
Listen, or read along. Once you open the note, the consultation stays closed until you have signed.
The note
The scribe has written Omar's note from the recording. Check it as you would in clinic: mark anything you would not sign, add anything missing, then sign.
Sources
A simulated consultation. The voices were made with ElevenLabs text to speech, and a native Gulf Arabic speaker checked the Arabic.
