My MD dictated a letter of recommendation and would like me to make him sound better.  Gosh!!  I am so brain dead when it comes to these things... been doing verbatim transcription for far toooo long. 

Would anyone out there like to give this a whirl? 

I appreciate any suggstions.  Thanks.

Mr. X spent a week with me in my internal medicine office this past summer.  He is currently a student at XX University and has decided on a career in a medicine.  Mr. X, in the process of starting his medical career, has spent time with multiple physicians to show that he is serious about a career in medicine.  Mr X has excellent personal skills, as you will see when you interview him.  He asked intelligent questions and showed a genuine interest while he was here with me in the office.  His thought process seemed both logical and rational during our discussions.

Mr. X  has all the makings of a good physician, intelligence, hardworking, motivated, and personal.  I recommend highly that he be accepted in your training to become an xxx  physician.

This is a pediatric patient with immunodeficiency syndrome.  

"She is taking (s/l co-leth-ra)..."  He then lists several more meds, but stumbles and mispronounces most of them.  I have them all figured out but this one.

TIA!

This patient is a xx year old female with a past medical history of hypertension, status post gastric-bypass surgery in (DATE) who presents for preoperative clearance.  She is undergoing surgery by Dr. XXX on (DATE) for thighplasty and panniculectomy   Apparently, she is feeling well and has no complaints.  Specifically, she denies any chest pain, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, PND, or orthopnea.  She denies any bleeding or clotting disorders.  She has no difficulty with anesthesia.

The patient has hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux, and the doctor is stating in his medication list what sounds like dexlanzapro, and another medication which sounds like prazol (Kapidenx) 60 mg daily.  The doctor actually spelled out Kapidenx.  TIA.

PAST MEDICAL HISTORY

1.      Gynecologic – G3, P2, 1 miss.  She had been followed by Dr. XXXXXXXX   Her last Pap smear was approximately two years ago, as was mammogram.  Menses are on a q 28-30 day cycle, but there are periods where she will skip and have a menses q.o. month.

Need help with words in bold.  Thank you.

SKIN:  Lots of seborrheic keratoses.  He does have an elevated 9 mm papule on left side of the face, which has some vascularization and central core.  It almost looks like acanthokeratosis, but basal cell carcinoma cannot be fully ruled out.  No other suspicious lesions.  He does have some miliary rubra on the back. 

leiomyoma, singular; leiomyomata, pleural. Leiomyomatas is not a word.

My doctor keeps saying psoricytic arthritis. I transcribe for him a lot, but this is what he is saying.

I am thinking he means psoriatic arhtritis. What do you think?

Doing a rotator cuff tear repair.  two words 

Procedure: 1) Left shoulder arthroscopy, subacromial decompression with MINIMUMFER?  procedure.

the left upper extremity was prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner utliizing 8 pounds of traction in the ARTHREX?? arm holder?

THANKS

This is a 4-year-old with metabolic-type cardiomyopathy who required "Amikin chest tube treatment".

I see that Amikin is an antibiotic, but do not feel comfortable with the references I have found with chest tube and/or cardiomyopathy. I would appreciate any opinions on this. Thanks!

The past medical history is HIV, hepatitis C, underlying asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The drug sounds like cyclobid 1 tablet b.i.d. It is as clear as anything but can't document it anywhere. He kind of botches drug names up sometimes so wondering if this is the case here.

Thanks!
