Dictated but not read
Phrase used at end of writing
"Dictated but not read" is a phrase used at the end of a text to warn that the written material has not been personally written or verified by the author. The material may have been dictated to a secretary when the author had no time to proofread or edit it.
This practice is common within the medical community, though its appropriateness is still debated.[1][2]
