    and just "assault" would be (sm)
    a different mechanism of injury. Sounds as if someone beat her up.

    Rape is assault
    Legally, morally, and physically.
    rape is an assault

    for sure but must specify sexual assault or could mean physically assaulted. I just think for medical information, must know how the patient was injured.


    Keystrokes Definitions for EXText

    Control A     


    Allows you to edit the copy (CC) list.  We don’t use this usually in this capacity as the CCs are predetermined by the attending physician’s profile.  However, if the dictating physician wants a physician added and you don’t know how to spell the name, you can Control A and enter the 1st letter of the last name plus a question mark i.e., A?.  Al the physician’s with A as the beginning of the last name will come up.  I use this quite often to confirm spelling of physician names.


     


    Control B


    Bold


     


    Control C


    Copy.  You can highlight any text in any document and Control C to import it to a new document or duplicate it in an existing document.


     


    Control F


    Opens Word’s Find screen, which allows you to search the document for text, formatting, special characters, etc.  You may also access Find and Replace from this screen.


     


    Control G


    This allows you to change the routing for the report, which has been set up by the profile.  For example, when you leave a report for review, you would Control G and remove all the routing with the exception of Transcription Department.  That would allow it to print only here and nowhere else until we have completed the report.  Once you have printed the report with the new routing, the default routing reappears.


     


    Control H


    Puts a document on hold.  If you were transcribing a report and could not quite understand the physician’s H&P, you can Control H and then search for another H&P by that same physician to review.


     


    Control J


    Brings the TES screen up.  This comes in handy when you are typing a report, choose a date of transcription from the list of dates, and then find that the dictation is for another date.  Control J will bring up the TES screen, you then place a ? mark in the visit box and all of the visit dates for that patient will be displayed.  You can then select the correct visit date for which the physician is dictating.


     


    Control N


    Saves, spell checks, and distributes documents.


     


    Control O


    Opens a document that has been put on hold.


     


     


    Control P


    Pause session.


     


    Control Q


    Exits ExText without saving the document.


    Page 13


     


    Control R


    Brings up any normals established for the client from which you may choose. 


     


    Control S


    Search for a document.


     


    Control T


    Cancels document without saving it.  Sends voice back to pool. 


     


    Control V


    Pastes any copied material to where you want it to go. 


     


    Control W


    Changes worktype.  When the TES screen comes up as an H&P and the doctor begins his dictation by saying he is typing an OP or Consult, you can make the change on this screen.  However, if the doctor does not say anything about the work type and you begin typing, and then realize that the H&P is actually a consult, then you can Control W and it will bring up a list of templates.  You identify the one you want, click on it, and it will import it into your document.  This will also change your footer to be the correct work type.  Remember to delete the original template from the document you are typing.


     


    Control X


    Allows you to cut something from one place and place in another place.  Unlike Control C, it does not duplicate the material, just moves the original.


    Assault on the English Language
    I transcribe for a doctor who I think may be Russian, but anyway, he has lived in this country (USA) for many years and has not taken the time to learn to speak succinctly. As a matter of fact, he seems to be dyslexic on top of the heavy accent and often phrases words backwards, does not know how to speak concisely, and I am thinking whoever has the misfortune of reading his HNP's is going to think he is a real Dip (even after editing). Even our editors have a real challenge getting through his work. I wish I could shake the snot out of him and require that every ESL physician practicing in America be required to speak the English language fluently.

    Assault is not necessarily rape

    When you play Balderdash and can fool everyone with your definitions.

    Having the assault taken off his record was a condition of his probation. SM

    So, I'm not sure if at the end of his probation if he had to contact anyone or follow it up in anyway.  We know it's not on there anymore because he's going to nursing school now and had to get his CNA license as a prerequisite for the prgram and they did a background check for that.


    I'll ask him.  He's not here now.  While I'm working, he and my son are at the boat show figuring out how to spend my paycheck! 


    Unbelievable how people have different definitions of the exact same thing
    You said, "I just wanted to isolate myself at home on evenings and weekends".

    A "social butterfly type" wouldn't have made that observation about herself. You made a decision to isolate yourself, which you of course have every right to do because most of us here do the same thing.
    I agree--pertaining to legal purposes, rape and assault are two different things. Would have been b
