QA question

I'm a relatively new QA person but a 31 year MT veteran. I need some advice about the following statements:  If the doctor dictates something like:  "Will follow up the patient or Will call in a prescription" is it appropriate to put "We will call or We will follow" even though "we" is not dictated?  I also had one:  Will follow up on her biopsy and they put "She will follow up on her biopsy."   Who is "we"?  How does one know who is doing what?   

I personally as an MT would not put in "we" and I've been marking it out and explaining why I'm doing it.  Let me say these are newbies.  I try to never come across as condescending, just trying to teach and share some of my knowledge.

I'd like to see someone get some benefit out of my knowledge as it seems the only thing anybody want these days is a fast typing speed.  Whoops!

Need some feedback.  Thanks!
