Subject: Body temperature
Dictator states the patient's temperature is 75.7. (Patient is having a surgical consult for abdominal pain). This is the third time in as many weeks I've had physician dictate a body temperature in the 70s. Celsius temp is normally in the 30s, Farenheit - of course - is normally in the high 90s. Am I missing something here? Is there some other temperature scale I don't know about? So far I've flagged them as blanks.
Thanks!

If it's a foot, can you hear hallux valgus? I'm wondering if the "salbeck" you are hearing is supposed to be a type of bunionectomy, but we are at a terrible disadvantage if we don't know if this is bunion surgery.
