If the doctor dictates cholesterol profile do you transcribe that or lipid profile? Also, how do you transcribe total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides after that?

experience. I've asked questions before also but when I do, I will state the references that failed my efforts. Everyone needs help now and again, but when someone leans too often on the power of the knowledge of others, it becomes a problem. Will they remember what someone else _told_ them the next time that term/phrase comes up again? Statistics have proven that 98% of what we retain is by learned by doing it first hand. That means 98% of the people will not retain what they are told. I like the quote "knowledge knows when to speak and wisdom knows when to listen." I'm afraid we are somewhat short on wisdom on this board.

Go to the beginning of the sentence at #1, right click, click on decrease indent and this will put you at the left margin. You can then put (a) manually under the beginning of the sentence and space over 2, then starting typing. Hit enter and put in (b). I know when you hit "b" it will move over. Before moving on, go back to "a", right click, bullets and numbering, customize, go to "aligned at" and make it 0.5. This will align everything where you want it. When you start "c", it will be at the left margin but go ahead and finish a,b,c,d, however long. When finished, highlight this, right click, bullets and numbering, find the box starting with "c" and click it. It will line everything up. From then on,when you type #2, it will line itself up. I hope this isn't too confusing.

A word that means "narrowing" but sounds like "graced" or "gracing"....that's a definite possibility.

I'm typing an orthopedic surgeon at the moment..he and his wife (who is also a surgeon) have developed the same MISERABLE, slurring speech pattern (I thought couples began to LOOK alike, not SOUND alike). If someone could help before I am bald from tearing my hair out, I would be extremely greatful. He is dictating a patient who developed an infection from a wound and was taken to the OR twice for "I&D and integator??? plus VAC placement." It is probably something easy, but I am experienced only in radiology. I do very well if I can hear what is being said. A couple of reports ago, his wife dictated a patient who had patysmal blanding...(platysmal banding) and craptional consrapsure (capsular contracture). Sorry bout this long-winded, whining plea, but thank you for letting me vent. Heavy sigh...I feel better now. 
I've Always . . .
Subject: I've Always . . .
Corrected grammar--had a time of it explaining to one clinician why it's "between her and her father" and not "between she . . ."--and only VERY rarely have been asked not to do it.
I think they usually know once the correction is made that what they dictated was incorrect.
Although I'm sure there have been raised eyebrows over my typing the correct "he has DRUNK (not "drank") alcohol since age 16" because to them it sounds (but isn't) wrong.
Past participle, doctor, look it up.
Have fun out there,
