Subject: 70+ percent
This is how I do it. Don't you love when they dictate things like that? What is wrong with "better than 70% improvement" or improvement greater than 70%, or whatever. Sometimes I change things like that to make it clear and so they look like they have a grip on the English language.

Chest pain, r/o, percent in my view?
Subject: Chest pain, r/o, percent in my view?
I KNOW I'm not a doc, but this just isn't making sense to me. Is the doc REALLY saying "Chest pain, ruled out, negative percent in my view"? I'm thinking the 'percent in my view' is really some kind of procedure?
TIA for your help.

In med list, doc states Carbetrol 900 mg q. h.s.
There is no mention of seizures, but there is mention of back pain and I noticed that Carbetrol can come in 300 mg tablets, and that it can also be used for trigeminal neuralgia, which there is no mention of either. This is an ESL, so it is posisble that I am not hearing right, but it was never mentioned again. Past medical history is bipolar, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and gastritis. Thank you!

I type verbatim, so if the doc dictates of I put it that way, if not, I don't, but have seen QA do this to me many times. To me this is so insignificant and it does not critically change the patient's care in any way, I just let it go. Some of my QA people change it, some don't, wish they'd be consistent, but I really don't worry about it.
This is only my opinion of course

But I would think that the sentence would probably be:
"Heart size and epsilons are normal."
Can you hear the "and" if you listen real carefully?
Epsilons are not related to the heart size per se. They're waves that can be seen on an EKG.
