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. ;-)

word here. Waddell's test is an exam used to determine if someone is faking pain. If the patient has exaggerated complaints of pain it is a positive Waddell's.

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)

with this one, thanks to your answers... still hearing something like "Pradus" but instead of obturate, was saying on THE RIGHT. definitely NOT piriformis or sure does not sound like it, then goes on to gluteus medius and maximus.

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.

I've gone to every medical website I can find. I have "asked the experts" on various medical websites. Even doctors can't find it! Thank you all for trying. If I come up with anything before I'm 99 years old, I'll post it.

I don't really have any suggestions for your missing words, but I do have a few general suggestions.
Are the terms in parenthesis the ones you don't know? If they are, put s/l in front of it (s/l= sounds like), and then do your best to type what you are hearing phonetically. Sometimes it also helps people figure out the missing words if you can share as much about the physical condition of the patient that you know.
Good luck with your training!
Thanks for the suggestion. sm

It was really unclear.
It may have been trapezius, but I looked at it from every angle I could, thinking he may have been saying TM - for teres minor --
So I finally gave up and did the safe thing...QA!
Thanks.

The patient had something in his eye. The eye was numbed with ophthalmic phenacaine, and also, the eye was stained with fluorescein and checked with blue light.
Thanks for your suggestion

I think that is what he means but is clearly spelling with a P. Guess this is one for QA. Too bad for me that he mentions it several times in the report.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Subject: Thanks for the suggestion!
You are probably right and the doctor is misprouncing the word. I still hear a K and X sound so I shall leave a blank just in case being that I do not have a firm diagnosis to match it up with. Thanks for your help!

This could very possibly be the word "metaphor." Suggest listening again and looking it up to see if it fits.

I really appreciate. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure this one out. It sounds like the "five hood" could be one word. Anyway, thanks again!

""The superficial femoral artery was then dissected free with the dissection preceding more proximally,exposing the profunda and the common femoral artery with dissecting it using sharp dissection to completely expose it so that an umbilical tape could be passed around the SFA.""
Here's the way I would do this:
""The superficial femoral artery was then dissected free with the dissection proceeding more proximally, exposing the profunda and the common femoral artery, dissecting it using sharp dissection to completely expose it so that an umbilical tape could be passed around the SFA.""
** I took out the word ""with"" because it sounds awkward and the word ""preceding"" I believe should be ""proceeding"", and then with the 2 commas.
I hope this helps!
Thanks very much for the suggestion

I would change the units of insulin to 10 and 20 instead of using ten and twenty. Maybe doc is saying this instead... He has been taking 10 units of Lantus. Since then sugar levels were 90 to 100.
Thank you for the suggestion...
Subject: Thank you for the suggestion...
I listened again and it doesn't sound like gritty. I think it's "cri". I found a couple reports with this same procedure and that word used. I also found the first one, which is "transcervically". Thank you for the suggestion though! :)
Thanks for the suggestion...
Subject: Thanks for the suggestion...
It's actually transcervically. I found an old report with the same type of procedure and she says the same things. I listened again and realized that's what it was. Thank you for the suggestion! :)
