dictated "fizzies," when he first started, which I changed to effervescent agent, which is what the other radiologists called it. I assume that's what they'd been using as the term where he went to school.

But ever after that I used fizzies as my shortcut for effervescent agent.

No Suboxone either. What a horrid report. Thank you so much for trying to help. Maybe I can just get nailed by QA again. I got critical feedback for misspelling a word that does not even exist yesterday. The doc said it, I spelled it and put a hyphen in between "dis" and the rest of the word, and QA wanted no hyphen. I can't do ANYTHING right of late (very long story including the mtquestions situation).

Thanks again for trying, though!!

She was clearly saying "saline walked" rather than saline washed or locked. I think she was distracted (dictating at 3 a.m.) and just threw a wrong word in there, so I left her a blank.
