...thank you so much, psa! How did I miss this? I have a 2007 Saunders pharm book (is 2007 considered old?) and it's not in there and I also googled unsuccessfully. Thanks again for this. I'm pencilling it into my Saunders.

but if he is, he sure is pronouncing it wrong. Go figure a doctor pronouncing a medication wrong. LOL. Also, there was no dosage. Thanks.

2nd day and feeling very stupid
Subject: 2nd day and feeling very stupid
I'm sorry ahead of time. Yesterday was awful and today only seems worse :( This is probably so obvious but because I am getting anxious, I can not hear anything now! The doctor says "... coughing, which initially was thought to be nonproductive but now (s/l livid) some productive sputum." Any help would be so greatly appreciated, and please don't laugh too hard! I may hear and get my feelings hurt. LOL

when you do not type something for a while and when it comes up, especially if they are a bad dictator, you just cannot remember. Happens to me all the time. Have a good day.

Subject: Depends....
I have an ortho doc that insists on using it the way the dictionary shows it, follow-up. He is not of old school, very young and a professor. Says it is his biggest pet peeve to see it ever used without the hyphen, and doesn't care much for BOS rules.
So, when in doubt, I do it exactly the way the dictator wants it no matter what I think.

Subject: Depends...sm
It honestly depends on your employer's guidelines. Check with your Editor/QA staff. Sometimes there is just no way to make a doc make sense on paper without changing everything around and so it's easier just to really type verbatim; some docs only need a tweak here and there, so you really need to find out what 'verbatim' means as applied to the account you are working on.

leeway you have. With the comma there, it looks strange. If you have to transcribe verbatim, I would put a hyphen....thus, * New patient - arm pain...* If you have more leeway you could make a sentence * This is a new patient with a chief complaint of arm pain *. If that is too much and looks like you are padding lines, then you could try just * New patient with arm pain *

I think it depends on the state where you want the information.
type for a hospital in Washington state, and they have a state licensure site with just about everything in the same site (i.e. physicians and physical therapists, nurses, etc. )
On the other hand, Arizona has only the doctors in its doctor database, and you have go to the Arizona physical therapist site to search for them.
Generally, when I first start typing a particular state, it takes a while to build up a set of search sites, but as I find them I add them to my favorites and then create a category for that state, so I don't have to search so much the next time.
Have a great day.

It depends on if it is modifying something.
The diameter of the wound is 1 cm.
There is a 2-cm length length discrepancy.
That's how I decide whether to hyphenate or not. On plural numbers, you can something tell if it should be hyphenated if it is said singular - i.e. six centimeters = 6 cm or six centimeter difference 6-cm difference
does that help?

Depends on the client preference. Generally, cardiorenal is accepted. Otherwise, it would be cardiac renal. I think he was just tripping.

I think it would depend on the specifics for that account - the hospital I work for would want it to read: 110 to 120 over 70 systolic.

I would not number unless doc states or your MTSO allows you to number arbitrarily, but kind of touchy with diagnoses, could confuse the issue. BUT I don't think it'd be wrong to number as follows:
1. INTERNAL DERANGEMENT, RIGHT KNEE.
2. TEAR OF LATERAL MENISCUS, RULE OUT MEDIAL MENISCUS TEAR.
3. EARLY DEGENERATIVE ARTHRITIS.
OR if you don't number, I'd punctuate:
INTERNAL DERANGEMENT, RIGHT KNEE. TEAR OF THE LATERAL MENISCUS. RULE OUT MEDIAL MENISCUS TEAR. EARLY DEGENERATIVE ARTHRITIS.
or you could put semi-colons in between.
But I'd put "DIAGNOSES." These are clearly more than one issue.

Subject: depends, does he say a few or 3?...sm
if he says a few then spell it all out, a few millimeters by a few millimeters as it is not a specific measure. Also may need to drop the .0 on 3.0, most of the time trailing zero is dropped unless verbatim.

If it's part of the name of the clinic (i.e., "Smith Family Planning Clinic"), yes.
If not, (i.e., "The patient went to the family planning clinic."), no.

They are hyphenated when as a group they form an adjective, a compound modifier. So it's an "over-the-counter medication" -- but the medication was purchased over the counter.
The medication is taken as needed, but it is taken on an as-needed basis.
Think of it this way: if you can substitute the phrase with "blue" and it makes sense, it gets hyphenated.

Patella tendinitis refers to the patella itself. Patellar tendinitis refers to the general area of the patella. They both actually are the same. Condyle-condylar. Patella-patellar. Interchangeable. I usually use the word that the doc does. There really is no difference except sometimes one sounds better in the context of the sentence. :-)

It could be "a 2-3-mm lesion," or "The lesion was 2-3 mm in size." Generally, cardinal numbers plus unit-of-measurement adjectives are hyphenated before the noun.

6600 (no comma) or 6.6 if they say it that way; if they say 6.6 thousand then you give them *6.6 thousand*

I really think these are questions you should ask your employer, assuming this is work related. Style and rules can vary from company to company. Most will provide you with a list of rules or specs and sample reports. If they haven't, you might ask for that. When in doubt, I follow BOS guidelines, though.

Subject: Depends on the context
Sometimes it simply means after and stands alone, other times it is used as a adjective or modifier, i.e.
The patient will follow up post discharge.
The patient will have post-discharge followup and labs.
One of those things you really have to think about, unfortunately :(

Subject: I really think it depends on the work...
I have worked from home and been paid both by the line and by the hour (as I am now). Unfortunately, the company was transitioning to voice recognition with us being paid half the line rate. The VR program had loads of bugs and I'd take as long, if not longer, to edit a report as it would for me to have simply typed it outright and my money went down drastically. It wasn't worth it and I quit (there was literally a mass exodus of MTs from this company when this happened).
I now happily work by the hour doing both straight transcription, as well as QA and editing.

you can't have a bilateral eye, as it takes 2 to be bilateral. but, if it is followed by "surgery" then eye would be okay. I would base it on the context, there is no blanket answer.

I personally do not have strict verbatim accounts, so I would not put in the word systolic. Since the doctor is putting in a range (110-120), he wants to make sure you know this is systolic. I doubt it needs to be included.

My previous company had us leave the names out unless they were pertinent to the patient's care such as a caretaker. I.e. Dictated: Patient's wife, Susan, stated that. Transcribed: Patient's wife stated that. I would ask your QA about that to be sure though.
yes, depends on account

don't just go with the dictator-client may not be happy about it and you'll get in trouble. ask supervisor
