At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often. Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation states pt is on a half mg of something. For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg". I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words. Is the proper way to write this 12.5? (Does .5 equal a half mg?) Thanks!

LEFT ANKLE PAIN WITH INSTABILITY
Evaluation of the ankle shows no obvious deformity. There is no real effusion of his S/L knee-ankle joint today. He is tender to palpation...

This may sound like a dumb question but it is important for the setup of the report.
First the Dr. says knee aspirit ( I assume knee aspiration) Also the main question is would a knee aspiration be considered a surgery? TIA.

I was wondering if this is one diagnosis or 2 diagnoses.
1. RIGHT SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
2. ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
The only reason I ask is because I was just released from QA and have never been so nervous in my life about making a mistake. My security blanket is gone..lol. I may be asking a lot of dumb questions for a while until I feel secure again..lol.
probably dumb questions but...

The patient is now 1 month post fracture of her left ulna *Dr says left ulnar* should be ulna? not ulnar
also..
There is pain at the superior vetebral border of her right scapular *Dr. says right scapular* should it be scapula? not scapular.
TIA.

Since he didn't say it as you did, does saying "larges" constitute shorthand in doctor speaking?

Since no QA, just do what you feel
Subject: Since no QA, just do what you feel
looks right and then they will let you know if it is right or wrong.
I would probably separate each by stating the problem is blah, blah, blah then paragraph the examination is blah, blah, etc.
I would not capitalize headings since they are office notes.
Make each problem standout somehow.
If they have no samples for you, then do it and let them get back to you.
Good Luck
Thanks so much. I feel much better about this now.

No one from QA has EVER treated me that way. I have had a few less than desirables, but this one is shocking.
I can stand for the fact that people who have diabetes do not necessarily have hypertension. My father has diabetes and has had two MIs and does not have nor has he been treated for hypertension ever.
Plus, I have done QA and yeah, once in awhile a sound alike may seem way off to you because you may know the dictator so well, BUT I have never had anything come across that was "way off". I have always listened a couple of times to try to figure the word out before flagging it as I am sure 99% of us MTs do. Frankly, I would try to speak to her supervisor in the company if you have that option because if she is treating people that way, the company will lose their good MTs. I left a company of a nasty QA manager (apparently not this bad). I would NOT put up with that. It is abusive pure and simple

This is an ESL. I think she has said this before, but I cannot get a grip on it this time.
She was bleeding so much that she called 911 and the patient was taken to the ER. The ER controlled the bleeding and put a plastic **salizine** tape and sent her to see PCP today. According to her, she is not in pain at all but she was afraid when she took off the dressing it would bleed. Thanks!
Feel better?

Just trying to help, didn't claim to be perfect. cushingoid/Cushing disease, effect, phenomenon, pituitary basophilism, response, suture, syndrome, etc. according to Stedman's. Just call me "you'd be wrong" then from now on. That won't bother me a bit. I've got broad shoulders! LOL  Hope you have a nice day!

OB/GYN help. I feel like I should know this, but I can't hear it.
Subject: OB/GYN help. I feel like I should know this, but I can't hear it.
Because of oligomenorrhea, she did start birth control pills and stopped them approximately 1 year ago. At first she had menstrual cycles every 4-6 weeks, but about the last 6 months or so she has been having 2 periods a month. She brings a schedule with her that shows that she had s/l promera or proberus from 06/07/06 to 06/14/06. her times of bleeding were 06/24/06, 07/07/06, 07/25/06, and 08/06/06, and she bleeds about 3-7 days each time. She has no moliminal symptoms and no evidence of ovulatory symptoms.
