I usually start a new paragraph when the subject changes.
Paragraphs in Op notes
Subject: Paragraphs in Op notes
I have noticed that when I transcribe an Op note as the dictator dictates it, starting a new paragraph as dictated...that QA always removes the spacing between the paragraphs.
Is there some rule in transcription that you don't break an op note into paragraphs? The client profile does not say anything about this.
Paragraphs in body of op reports.
Subject: Paragraphs in body of op reports.
When dictators dictate 'paragraph' within the body of the procedure portion of op reports, do I create separate paragraphs or ignore this request? This is not a verbatim account.

I have tried every possible spelling of this word, med. dictionary, google, webmd. I can't seem to come up with it.
Sounds like:
Synchrostyberticulum
The context doesn't give much away either.  One is the problem list, one is the past medical history, and one is:
There is a history of ... and he had a PEG placement.
Not even sure if the two go together, LOL, she tends to run her sentences together.
TIA for the help!

Beetle nuts are chewed, much like chewing tobacco, causing mouth irritations. It is possible with the diagnosis of CA of the mouth that beetle nuts is what was dictated.

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)

any time they spell it you can pretty much count on the spelling to be wrong. guess atleast they make the effort? lol better than the speedy ones who don't care enough to even attempt to make sure you know what they mean.

I hate it when the doctors/PAs prounounce diabetes MELLitus as diabetes mellITUS like it's some kind of inflammation or something.
From Dorland's.com:
diabetes mellitus (di″ә-beītēs melīĭ-tәs)

First typed it back in 1970s. Then again in the 90s and the doctor used all abbreviations. Almost lost it that time!!! They all have their little "docisms". keratinaceous is used by a lot of them. For real!!!
I'm such a freak! This 1/2 thing is driving me nuts!
Subject: I'm such a freak! This 1/2 thing is driving me nuts!
If the QA is insisting ".5" after weight instead of "1/2", wouldn't they also insist on typing "A 2.5-year-old child" instead of the obviously correct "A 2-1/2-year-old child?" It just doesn't jive with me on some level, but then again neither did Aqua-Net hairspray.

Pes plano valgus with gastroc constracture, forefoot varus, left side, is correct. Technically, in OP report headings, I was always taught to spell things out like "gsstrocnemius" even if the doc abbreviates because it is a main heading, but it also goes with your account. Hope I have helped!!

This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
Subject: This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets. Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040
They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.
I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!

Subject: Txczech - I just wanted to thank you for all the help
you give to everyone on this board, but especially for always taking the time to provide links. I rarely come to ask for help, but I ALWAYS open up your responses and copy the links.....which, of course, makes it easier for me not to have to ask for help. I swear, through you I have learned so much and wanted you to know how appreciated you are for going that extra mile and providing the resources of your knowledge. You are a Godsend to all of us here and I know I speak for many when I say, "Thank you!"
