Hi! I am new to this board. I posted a message a while ago, but i can't find the thread. Anyway, i will just repost my query.
In one of the reports I transcribed, a doctor dictates "labia majora swelling" and I typed it verbatim. The report was pulled for quality check, and the statement was recast into "swelling of the labia majora". Sadly, it was credited to me as a syntax error.
I feel that the statement is medically correct and acceptable. If, it is syntactically incorrect, is there any ruling regarding medical syntax?
Are there resources or articles, which could help me regarding syntax in transcription? thanks

Syntax
I know my QA people are toads. I get the same crap where I am and when I don't type verbatim they say -- he didn't say than and make it verbatim. You cannot win. It's sad, it really is.
Syntax aside, there is
a chair available that uses an exercise ball as its seat - there's a framework with casters that holds the ball. I haven't tried it but am considering it. I saw it in a catalog from Gaia - Real Goods, who sell eco friendly stuff mostly. Has anyone tried one of these, and if so, how is it?
Interesting syntax. nm

Syntax Report
I personally did not read your original post as being written by an Indian. I personally might have used the word 'placed' or 'used' instead of 'put,' but honestly I think all 3 words would have been correct.
I also have seen several posts where the syntax struck me as suspiciously Indian in origin, but your particular post was not one of them.
I'm not certain how long you have been visiting this board, but perhaps a couple weeks ago, there was a poster named EMTJack. I think he may have used a few other names too. Anyway, he claimed to be American, but he was clearly Indian and working for a company whose website loudly and clearly proclaimed that his company prided itself in providing cheaper prices by off-shoring the work. Ever since then, our nerves are a bit on edge, and we are most definitely on the lookout for weird syntax postings!
Peace to you, and may this thread be soon closed... ;)
