When a doc spells a word that you know perfectly well how to spell, except their spelling it out confuses you and sends you on a wild goose chase? AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

a doc say "derbis" for "debris" and another say "aspirational pneumonia" instead of "aspiration pneumonia," but that does not make the docs correct. WE must know the difference which is the reason WE need mentoring for years after going to school and need proper references for our field, not Google.
You listed polynephritis Google references which are incorrect. Don't understand your followup.

From the time I took medical terminology, I always thought of:
dysphasia=difficulty speaking because of the "s" instead of "g", as in "speech".
dysphagia=difficulty swallowing because of the "g" instead of "s", as in "laryngeal".
Probably sounds weird, but keeps me from having to look it up!

The initial spike would be immediately postoperative. There is a second spike at approximately 10 days, and then a third spike at three weeks out. As a result, we will keep him on Coumadin for a total of four weeks maintaining an INR between 2.0 and 3.0 for a total of that four weeks.

A doc wouldn't ever say "percussion tenderness" when referring to extremities would they? I've heard it when referring to abdomen or spine. I'm totally reaching and would love to hear what they are saying...such a mystery!

There were three other places in the dictation that I could not understand what he was saying.
After I deciphered the 'alert and oriented' (with your gracious help), I went back to the other three. Bingo. It was like a mumble-jumble-decipher puzzle piece placed itself in my head, and I figured out the other three.
I love puzzles.
Thanks again!

If the patient's fever does not DEPRAVEST on antibiotics, then further assessment such as CT scan of the sinuses and thorax may be needed.
I cannot find a word that fits, but it sounds clear as DEP-RA-VEST. Any ideas?

crazy number question
Subject: crazy number question
The company I work for does not want us to use numbers and numbers should never be used at the beginning of a sentence, but does anyone know the AAMT-true style that this should be transcribed? I know this is a crazy question, but for some reason, I can't seem to categorize it.
Example:
"School grade: 5th.
Members in family: 5. " OR
"School Grade: Fifth.
Members in family: Five."
I am thinking the second, but then again, I am not thinking. :-)

the sound of the puffs being administered, instead of staying 1 "puff" b.i.d., he's saying something that sounds like the med being administered? I know that sounds dumb, but that's what comes to my mind.

I know, it sounds crazy... This is a new urology account for me, and the doc is REPEATEDLY saying the following, taken directly from the notes:
(Problem of interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain) -- 'She did not use the Valium vaginal suppositories. She had days when she felt quite well....'
(Problem of IC again) -- 'Prescribed Valium 10 mg vaginal suppositories...'
(Problem IC and pelvic floor tension myalgia) -- She stopped her Valium vaginal suppositories, which she states are at a dose of 10 mg of Valium with 25 mg of amitriptyline and has felt much better since.
I can't find a Valium vaginal suppository anywhere, people! Any of you know about anything like this? I imagine that if you've got a stressed vagina, that would be as good of a cure as any, but I haven't heard of it yet. Any ideas? 
Yes! Those two things drive me crazy!
Subject: Yes! Those two things drive me crazy!
It always used to be tendonitis, now the change.
And you say extend/extension so why not distend/distension?
When I first started transcribing again after a hiatus of about 15 years, I had to put "distension" in my AutoCorrect so that it would automatically change it to "distention" until I could get used to it.
Crazy question, but how is times
Subject: Crazy question, but how is times
two written, with or without a space?? x2 or x 2? I am able to view previous reports typed by other transcriptionists and some of them put it with the space and some without? Now I am starting to doubt myself. I was told it was without the space years ago. Has something changed?? Thanks

Doc says:
Ms. ---- had again presented to the Emergency Department of a local community hospital for a D-dimer blood test to screen for venous thrombosis. The ___ test was negative and the patient did not undergo Doppler testing.
My problem is, where the blank is sounds exactly like he is saying piss test. What in the world sounds like that?
