This feels like a compelling reason to joke around more.

If inaccuracies make it to your patient record, it's defamatory. Your doctor must sign off on the transcript and if they're letting through poor results, make it their problem to fix. That'll either force the tech to get better or to fall back on better note taking practices.

Be warned though that life and disability insurance will absolutely use errors in your medical records to refuse your coverage or claims.
