I have a doc stumbling over a blood pressure reading. He states 1, uh, uh, 205. Now, does he mean 125 or 205? 205 is extremely high, but he does state later in the report that the patient should follow up with his primary doc due to high blood pressure. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

In the social history of this consult, the dictator states the patient drinks a glass of wine daily and an occasional s/l Bailey's with her coffee? No idea what this could be, and my Google search has proved fruitless thus far!

Okay, this surgeon is dealing with a very purulent abdomen and kind of said this in a weird way, like he was going to sneeze or cough when he said ?shriv? then port then sump drain. "Drains placed: ?Shriv? ?port? sump drain placed through the left abdominal wall into the liver abscess all the way to the base and sutured up against the diaphragm to secure its position with a Vicryl suture."

This is dictated in an op note on a right knee arthroscopy and partial meniscectomy. The doc says a s/lPoodoo drill guide was inserted and the tibial tunnel placed in an anatomic position. I've tried various spellings on Google, including Peaudeau, Pudeau, Pudu, etc., and I'm not having any luck finding this. Any ideas, anyone?

He's performing a breast enlargement procedure. This is the second day he's
said this phrase and I just can't get it. Clear as a bell and have had
others listen. Maybe someone here knows it?

dissector was then utilized to refine the submuscular pocket, ensuring both
sides were symmetric. "
Orders read give "gr X" (grains 10) Tylenol® q 4-6° prn. How many milligrams of acetaminophen do you give?
Answer: You don't give any. Many facilities consider the use of grains archaic and a source of medical errors. Depending on the source, 5 grains can equal 300-325 mg. Now consider many medications are measured and given in hundredths of milligrams: the difference of 25 mg could have disastrous consequences. The best solution is to have the doctor rewrite the order in milligrams.
For educational purposes this calculator considers 1 grain = 64.8 milligrams however the National Weights & Measures Laboratory considers 1 grain = 64.79891 milligrams. My nursing text book vacillates between 1 grain = 60-64 milligrams. If you were to solve this problem using this calculator the answer would be 648 milligrams (roughly 2 plain acetaminophen tablets).
He can say whatever he wants to in court. It may sound harsh, but that's really not your problem. If you accept a contract to do a verbatim account, then that's what you do - a verbatim account. I'm not here to argue the point with you of whether verbatim accounts are a good idea or not, or whether the insurance company, lawyers, or the man in the moon will like it. I gave the correct answer to the OP. A verbatim account is just that - verbatim. If that's what the client wants, that's what the client gets.
