I typed: CHIEF COMPLAINT: "I was hallucinating."
I was corrected as: CHIEF COMPLAINT: "I was hallucinating".
Am I wrong here?

Thanks but she requests in quotes so and..
sounds like "5 C's" was wondering if all symptoms started with C or something. Maybe a slang term instead medical.
If it is in quotes, you had better leave it...
If it is in quotes, you had better leave it... esp in regard to the legal aspect, but also the integrity of the document.
That said, usually the client has a preference regarding these things.
The BOS can cram it. That's C-R-A-M and don't put it in quotes. nm.

ADMINISTRATOR: Some Quotes from MQLover
Administrator, these quotes below are what we are referring to. Her attitude and language are indefensible. Please ban her from this board.
From MQLOVER:
"1. ….is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady. "
"2. Maybe you better wonder about what is for dinner tonight, I am sure you are thinking about that."
"3. Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid. I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink."
"4. You really are stupid. What I have to say is the only loser here is you, so lose about 50 pounds and come back later."
There are many more examples on record. Thank you,
The professional MTs who really want to use this site.
I don't use slang, ever, unless it's in quotes from a patient or something. nm

Not your call. Transcribe in quotes SM
or if you truly refuse to transcribe that word, use whatever system your company has to make the report go to QA. There are reasons dictators want a thing like that transcribed--it demonstrates noncompliance or abuse of staff and it's important it be transcribed into the document.
you can use apostrophes to emulate quotes.
Two apostrophes = one quotation mark
Like ''this.'' (4 apostrophes total, 2 in front and 2 behind word)
Just a little trick I figured out a long time ago for this board.
If it is a verbatim account, I'd vote yes ... although with quotes around it. sm
Do you have a supervisor/liaison/QA person to ask?
I agree ... not really professional. Of course, I still cringe when I have to type "belly" instead of stomach. 
If the doctor dictates it, you transcribe it, in quotes, as this
is what the patient said.
I was told if it is in quotes transcribe it even if curse word...
The doctor wouldn't have said it if he didn't want it in his report. If it wasn't in quotes now no I wouldn't have put it in. But since he was quoting yes I would.
They are teaching you to always put the period inside quotes now. I just took a college English
It still looks wrong to me that way, but that's how they're doing it.
