for content, yes we are in some ways. However the examples you give of a physician's dictation - a new MT may not know that 100 mg of Synthroid is not a correct dosage, the MT types what is said and it is the DOCTOR who approves what is in the transcribed report. None of us know everything, the only thing we can do is accurately transcribe the dictation the dictation, not edit what we think should or should not be included.

orientation and part of his total overall mental status exam. They will always assess if the patient is oriented to person, place, time and situation. So the unclear word would be related to oriented, orientation, or more specific to your example to time, and the patient's perception of current reality and time (some patients who are disoriented do not know common knowledge everyday things and think the current president is maybe Clinton or Daddy Bush. So again, try to pick up on anything to do with orientation or time and date.

Before the s/l sentence, he says:
He can toe-and-heel walk. Tandem walking is somewhat off. Reflexes are diminished in the upper extremities, 1+ or trace at knees and at ankles. His motor power is generally full throughout upper and lower extremities. The right hand intrinsic muscles seem to be significantly affected and were about 3+/5. There is some atrophy of his first web space, which may be related also to significant subluxation of the thumb. The light touch sensation is generally okay.
His past surgical history is stent placement in 2004, status post cervical laminectomy/fusion.
Doctor is placing on Neurontin to see if he gets response regarding the paresthesias he's experiencing.
If this gives anyone a clue, I appreciate it a lot.
