    You might have John Doe, M.D. in the address info, but doctor dictates "Dear Johnny." Is this what you mean? If that's the case, I would type it as he says it, as he may have a friendly relationship with him in addition to his professional relationship.

    On the other hand, if he's dictating a personal nickname, like "Puddin", you should probably use the other name. :)

    by QA on one account, because she had addressed this before with the company and account, pussy would be changed to pus-like when dictated.  But, I would check with your account specs or manager, as they may not want anything changed at all.  Per Bos, page 340, adjective is pus-like, i.e., The wound was filled with pus-like fluid.  HTH.

    But my Stedman's disagreed (LOL) . . . intertrigonal is what netscape said "did you mean . . ." when I googled, and I actually went with intertriginous, which is what came up in the archives here when I asked the question, and Stedman's liked that too (although the PA did say "al" v. "ous".
    1 or 2 (I was told this during training)
    Subject: 1 or 2 (I was told this during training)

    I was told when I was training at one point WITH MedQuist (when I was still on full QA) to use the numbers 1 and 2 and not the Roman numerals. I hope that helps. It might very well be a matter of preference for the account you are working on, but I believe the numbers 1 and 2 are correct.

    but someone else may have a different opinion. If the account I am doing is not verbatim then I transcribe current temperature and maximum temperature because I consider those terms to be slang. Again, others may have different opinions but I haven't had any complaints.

    what to do with trademark names. Now, I had a Coda balloon, trademark name, in the report also, it was Coda, not all caps. So, I am really, really confused.

    I have to send the report in because I have other blanks. I am going to leave this word all caps, and when QA checks it, I will see if they change it or not.

    Thanks everyone for the help.
    We have been told it is CPAP, however
    Subject: We have been told it is CPAP, however

    I have a doctor physicially go into a report and change what I had transcribed to C-pap, so each doctor wants things his way. With a hyphen does not change the meaning and if a doc wants things certain ways and it is verbatim, the you almost always have to go with the doc unless it is totally wrong. I would refer it to my supervisor.

    but I think each hospital/client has a preference. I am going to be doing a different account where I work and now they want the dates as 6/30/2006. Go figure. They are trying to make us all crazy.

    Are you working on your own or for a company? I would find out what the preference is if it is a company.
    told perhaps by a french person?..sm
    Subject: told perhaps by a french person?..sm

    In French, the term *cul-de-sac* means bottom of the bag (no, it doesn't mean *dead-end street*), bottom of the sack, to us, in English. 


    So, I'm thinking perhaps a person of French descent might have instructed you on that and in France/French-speaking countries, it would be correct, sac = sack; however, not here if used as a container to place something in that is not body-part related.
