If not, it would make more sense like this:
It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.

Valsalva maneuver. Lots of docs turn it into a verb, so I would say if it is verbatim, what you have is how to spell it, all lower case.

I rearrange the sentence so that it is not the beginning. If it is a verbatim account you don't want to change anything but type as both letters in caps, PH.

It depends on the client profile. On my non-verbatim accounts, I leave out the is and are in the vitals signs and for allergies, I just type the Demerol and Penicillin under the heading. That's just how I've been doing it for over 15 years and so far so good :)

Should I edit to "urinate" or type as is? If as is, should I put it in quotes?
Diagnosis is micturation syncope. Here is the sentence as dictated:
When he tried to pee he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right.
Thanks for any help.

If so, you will won't need to change decease to deceased. If the dictator is ESL, he probably used incorrect verbiage. Agree with other posters about lung CA.

Or how much they expect you to correct. I used to transcribe for a doctor who did the worst run-on sentences and sometimes I would rack my brains trying to figure out where to put punctuation without changing what she said (the account was verbatim except for obvious grammatical errors like subject-verb agreement). Finally I decided, if that's the way she wants to say it, that's what she is going to get. I just made sure that what she was saying made some reasonable kind of sense. She was also notorious for changing her mind half a dozen times in a single sentence, and for not reading her reports before approving them. She once dictated a hysterosalpingogram (test to see if the fallopian tubes are blocked) and let the following impression go out to the requesting physician:
IMPRESSION: Bilateral tubal pregnancy.
instead of
IMPRESSION: Bilateral tubal patency.
(No, I didn't type it!)

Subject: Depends if it is a verbatim account. You can do it the way you have it or if he actually used the word "as" 93 then it could be 100-7 as 93 or just minus equal signs. Depends on your client.

I put the word in as dictated with quotes around it and then sent it off to QA. I noticed later that they just deleted it and put a blank and sent it through without the word. Yet one more reason why I hate being on verbatim accounts!

If they don't, I would change the tense to whatever is the norm for that account or that doctor.
If they do require verbatim, I would type it verbatim but let the QA preson know that the doctor had shifted tenses.
But that's just me....

Subject: It all depends on your account specifics. If they use BOS, then use mL. I've had verbatim accounts
with no BOS wanted per the client, regular accounts who do use BOS and others that do not want it, and others that "just type what I say." So, like I said, refer to your account specifics.

Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!

It is not my place to decide what the doctor means. I am not in any way offended by what he/she dictates.
You are correct, pus-like is not the same as pussy.
If they say the F word, I type the word, not asterisks in place of letters, because it's a direct quote from the patient. I do not change direct quotes.
Anybody who is offended by typing a word is putting way too much of their personal life into their work.
No, you type it as dictated.
