Is it in the operative diagnosis or in the body of the report?

Is the account verbatim? Abbreviations are not acceptable (most places) if they are used in the diagnosis headings, but are okay if in the body of the report, unless the facility has requested otherwise.

I am having a really hard time understanding this doctor. I've researched this term (or what I think he's saying) without any luck. I always turn to you guys last and you always seem to come up with the answer. Thanks for the help! At the end of the report he dictates anesthesia, IV fluids etc. Then he says something that sounds like this " Line: LB and RT line or Line: Albi and ulti line. "

Body temperature
Subject: Body temperature

Dictator states the patient's temperature is 75.7.  (Patient is having a surgical consult for abdominal pain).  This is the third time in as many weeks I've had physician dictate a body temperature in the 70s.  Celsius temp is normally in the 30s, Farenheit - of course - is normally in the high 90s.  Am I missing something here?  Is there some other temperature scale I don't know about?  So far I've flagged them as blanks.


Thanks!
