I actually concluded that diskal (my co. preference) was correct due to anatomic considerations.

Subject: distal translation across the epiphysis of distal fragment
distal one third
Subject: distal one third
I would go with distal one-third of the tibia, two-thirds, one-quarter. Whether right or wrong, that's how I type it and it never gets changed by QA.

Subject: Distal
could refer to the farthest point of any body part. If talking about the leg, probably saying distal tib-tibial.
probably distal pulses

distal neurocirc is intact. Should this be transcribed:

the rule is ....
Subject: the rule is ....
... x2 ....2 times
If the "times" comes before the number use the x (no space). If the "times" comes after use the word.
don't know if there is a rule but....
Subject: don't know if there is a rule but....
I think if you would substitute "bilateral" (mentally) and say "both" you might have a better idea how to say it. Like would it sound better iff you said "both hand" or "both hands." To me bilateral hands sounds better. But again, I don't know if there is actually a rule. I looked for an answer in "style Guide for Medical Transcription" (Tessier and Pitman) and couldn't find an answer.
I think if you wrote what the doctor said ....you can't go wrong there either. Good luck!.
What is the rule now for cc?
Subject: What is the rule now for cc?
should we put mL or what the doc says as cc? I got so beat up over this one time with a different company I worked for; however, I am with a wonderful new company and want to make sure I am typing it correctly.
Thank you
Does anybody know a rule regarding
Subject: Does anybody know a rule regarding
to para or not to para, that is the question..... okay, so that was dumb, but so many words are not actually in the dictionary.... is there a rule regarding when to use peri as opposed to para ??? sometimes I'm confused.
As a rule yes, but not always
Subject: As a rule yes, but not always
I find way too many exceptions to that rule so I always look them all up the first time and add them to my ever-growing list. I wish there was a list out there somewhere with most of them already catagorized for us.
