Subject: lungs cor RSR... please sm... ty
Doc is very hard to understand... i've been doing this for a long time, and I have always thought that cor belonged in heart exam. This doc speaks very low, but s/l he continually says on physical exams, ...
lungs cor rsr. I figured lung exam was separate and i was missing something he said, and then i should type .... Cor, RSR (for regular sinus rhythm). Can somebody please clarify for me? I saw another transcriptionists report that said ... lungs cor rsr. That does not look correct to me and many of these other MT's make a lot of mistakes.
Please help! Thank you much!

There is a link at the end of this.
Active Tuberculosis
To diagnose TB of the respiratory tract, 3 to 5 sputum specimens are collected first thing in the morning on different days when they are most likely to contain the most mycobacteria. If extrapulmonary TB is suspected, samples are collected based upon where in the body the infection is likely to be. Multiple samples of gastric (stomach) washings/aspirates or urine may be collected and submitted to the laboratory. Sometimes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), biopsied tissue, or other body fluids are also collected.

I just want to be sure about whether since she specified it is left side only that extensor hallucis "is" and not extensor hallucis "are". If she said bilateral then it would read extensor hallucis are 4+/5 -- am I getting that part correct? TIA
To be clear?
Subject: To be clear?
Hallucis IS.......halluces ARE. You will know when she is talking about a different side or bilateral. Don't over-think your dictator, okay? I'm thinking you may be new (I hope) and these things will become more clear as you go.
I know you're trying to get it perfect, but she knows what she's doing with the foot/feet. :)

I think if it's not clear
Subject: I think if it's not clear
I would leave a blank, although it is probably hypocoagulable (my Stedman's oncology book has this word) and we used it in the lab, such as defective clotting with factor deficiences such as hemophilia, von Willebrand (which heavy menstrual flow can be a sign), low platelet count, ITP, liver disorders that affect vitamin K production, etc. But it's really hard to say without knowing more about this patient because, if I can explain this right, there are conditions or situations that can cause hypercoagulable states that then use up all the clotting factors, etc., and then cause bleeding. So really need to know more on what the patient's other symptoms, family history, etc. to be sure on something like this when you can't hear for sure, I think anyway. Sorry for the long essay here, used to be one of my areas of interest a long time ago. Once worked up a lady who had heavy, heavy vaginal bleeding after childbirth, was in really bad DIC, docs had a heck of a time saving her. You can google on some of this if you're interested.
