Subject: I would agree with that if there hadn't been a specific
dosage noted - that leads me to believe it's something the patient is taking.

That would be one way to do it. The doctors always seem to treat the phrases as a single entity, so I usually ponder it for a few minutes and then end up typing it the way they say it but wondered if it was correct or not.

I found Ultracet in my drug book as an analgesic but I did not find Ultracef. However, on google it lists Ultracef as an antibiotic but I do not find it everywhere I look so I did not know if it was an approved medication.
That is why I asked.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it. She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants. Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

It's possible this is the name of a facility or something that is specific to the account you're typing. You might see if the hospital has a web page and go there and look under services/programs, and see if there is a TLC listed there.
It really could be anything. My first thought was transitional long-term care, but given that they're on pressors, that's usually not the kind of drug they send you to a SNF with.

Subject: Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.
You should have been given account specific pages that explain what is expected. Nobody really knows what verbatim means until account specifics are spelled out. He needs to take a chill pill and put his expectations in writing, get approval from his supervisor, then run those specifics by the contact for the account. Otherwise all the MTs will change what they are doing and somebody at the hospital will object and then you'll have to change the way you do things AGAIN! JMO.

Specific gravity question

Been out of commission for a year or so, so have a question about how the number would be typed. If a doctor says "specific gravity 1015" how would that number be typed out. Just a little confused on where to put the decimal.

If your account doesn't have specific rules about it, sm
the correct way would be to write it out in full (Escherichia coli) whether or not it was dictated in full. Then, if the dictator says E. coli after that, then it is correct to transcribe it that way. If the dictator says it in full the next time, then transcribe it in full. Check your account's guidelines for their preference.
