Subject: swear words

What should I do if the doctor dictates, and didn't say to use quotes, ...patient says she still feels like sh**.  ??!!   The word even came up on the spell checker!   I feel nervous about leaving the word there.  I wonder if I should leave it as a blank.   The account is not verbatim.  Just looking for some suggestions.  I haven't had this happen before in 20+ years as an MT!
Swear words
Subject: Swear words

I am a Christian and I am not comfortable typing the F word. I don't use that kind of language in my everyday speech; why should I keyboard it? I just type "the patient said 'F--- you'." If the hospital wants to change it, they can. I get a lot of this because I do psych. Sometimes the docs even use the F word. I want to send them a defi saying, "Do you eat with that mouth?"

I forgot to put in commas. Some tenderness over the left trapezius muscle, over the suprascapula, radius, and also over the posterior axillary muscles.

Subject: I just re-read your question regarding "inch" and realized

I just noticed that you didn't say the doc dictated inch. You asked if 3/8 could be referring to anything other than inch and I totally misread that.

The answer is yes - 3/8 could be referring to a cm measurement. Sorry I misunderstood.

But since you were unsure, you did the right thing in QA'g :)

Hi, I'm a semi-new transcriptionist who has had no formal training, and I'm having some problems figuring out a couple spellings.  One is a medication called *Inderon* (not sure how to spell).  The other is a phrase that I'm not sure what exactly the doctor is saying.  It sounds like *bill-raw-2 anastomoses*  Thanks SO much for any help!!!

Inderon? How about Enduron.

This doctor is slurring bad so I don't even know if my examples will be accurate!! It sounds like she hasn't gone to med school OR general english and doesn't know how to pronounce words. Ugh.

- Glypenitin? Some kind of medication. Don't know what it is for as this patient has many diseases.
- Sounds like "see-ko" syndrome... I think. I can't understand her!! Fecal syndrome? LOL Maybe it's sickle syndrome.. I don't know.
- Sounds like "smith". As in positive ANA, positive SSA and SSB (I can't tell if it's SSA and SSB or just one or the other GRR!!!!), positive RNP, positive __________, positive rheumatoid factor.

I'm going to try to finish this report. Wish me luck. :/

For the fun of it!! Hydroclomibmwlap... I don't expect anyone to look THAT up. ;) That one deserves a big fat blank. Yes, that is the exact way she pronounced it.

Enavaprovolil was actually Enalapril. How horrible is that? LOL javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

Also, if anyone has a 2x4 so I can go beat this doctor senseless, I'd appreciate it. ;)
