Subject: ESL making me nuts
I was taught to never change a transcription, even if it's blatantly wrong. I would leave as dictated and leave a note for the doctor (if you have a place to do it)

I have tried every possible spelling of this word, med. dictionary, google, webmd. I can't seem to come up with it.
Sounds like:
Synchrostyberticulum
The context doesn't give much away either.  One is the problem list, one is the past medical history, and one is:
There is a history of ... and he had a PEG placement.
Not even sure if the two go together, LOL, she tends to run her sentences together.
TIA for the help!

I hate it when the doctors/PAs prounounce diabetes MELLitus as diabetes mellITUS like it's some kind of inflammation or something.
From Dorland's.com:
diabetes mellitus (di″ә-beītēs melīĭ-tәs)

If the QA is insisting ".5" after weight instead of "1/2", wouldn't they also insist on typing "A 2.5-year-old child" instead of the obviously correct "A 2-1/2-year-old child?" It just doesn't jive with me on some level, but then again neither did Aqua-Net hairspray.

Pes plano valgus with gastroc constracture, forefoot varus, left side, is correct. Technically, in OP report headings, I was always taught to spell things out like "gsstrocnemius" even if the doc abbreviates because it is a main heading, but it also goes with your account. Hope I have helped!!

This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
Subject: This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets. Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040
They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.
I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!

What is FUV1, used along with FEV1?? Never heard of it and cannot find. Also he also states FVC as being forced ventiltory capacity, which I know is called forced vital capacity; wonder if I should transcribe a non-word.

as to what a doctor MAY be dictating. Doctors make mistakes all the time. It is up to the individual MT to check out the validity of any info they ultimately transcribe. That's what I would do. Any MT who transcribes a "suggestion" should not be working as an MT. ;-)
