doc says Theo-Dur then that is what you type. We are not in the business of changing the dictation when it is correct. If you can verify your spelling through legitimate sources then use that and add the corrected word to the spellcheck.
I have found several misspellings in mine, and they were not ones I put in, came with the program, so what I do is put the correct one in the spellcheck and make an expander with the incorrect spelling so that in case I should spell it that way, the spellcheck will not just skip it, it will be automatically corrected.

Subject: no stephanie - Byetta is dosed in mcg
BYETTA therapy should be initiated at 5 mcg per dose administered twice daily at any time within the 60-minute period before the morning and evening meals (or before the two main meals of the day, approximately 6 hours or more apart). BYETTA should not be administered after a meal. Based on clinical response, the dose of BYETTA can be increased to 10 mcg twice daily after 1 month of therapy. Each dose should be administered as a SC injection in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
BYETTA is recommended for use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are already receiving metformin, a sulfonylurea, a thiazolidinedione, a combination of metformin and a sulfonylurea, or a combination of metformin and a thiazolidinedione, and have suboptimal glycemic control. When BYETTA is added to metformin or thiazolidinedione therapy, the current dose of metformin or thiazolidinedione can be continued as it is unlikely that the dose of metformin or thiazolidinedione will require adjustment due to hypoglycemia when used with BYETTA. When BYETTA is added to sulfonylurea therapy, a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea may be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (see PRECAUTIONS, Hypoglycemia).
BYETTA is a clear and colorless liquid and should not be used if particles appear or if the solution is cloudy or colored. BYETTA should not be used past the expiration date.

What is considered normal and appropriate.. if the doctor usually says things or an expressoin a certain way and this expression is on my autocorrect is it okay for me to type it in that way (with my autocorrect) if he changes around the sentence but it really means the same thing anyway. Also, how much is it acceptable to change what he says.

....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

the HIM departmental budget. So basically when you're told to type verbatim, it means YOU get paid less. And even in the case of working for a private practice, the doctors don't give a hoot whether you expand abbreviations or not just as long as you get what they mean. They just want a nice coherent report that makes them look like all their education paid off.
I, for one, refuse to jump through hoops for a measly 8 cpl and that is what the services are making us do.
