plus/minus headache--I think
Subject: plus/minus headache--I think
Doc is dictating intake report and says the patient has "some s/l plus/minus headache along with weakness." Is there such a thing as a plus/minus headache? If so, how would I type it? Please help as all my QA editors seem to be having PMS or a midlife crisis and I'd like to avoid sending this one in :-)

Cervix 690 minus 1 with swelling. sm
Subject: Cervix 690 minus 1 with swelling. sm
Should I type this as 6.90 minus 1 with swelling? Just had the same doctor with another patient coming in with labor, and she says "Cervix is 390 and 0." That should be 3.90, meaning the cervical length, right? But what about this patient of 690 minus 1 with swelling? Is that cervical length of 6.90? Thank you.

person, even one person from a Cannabis site! The MRI info was probably keyed in by a lay person also. There no reference for "brachioplexy" in any Stedman's reference, any Dorland's reference, Taber's or even in the rxlist.
Did you notice the other misspellings in the Google listings?
Brachioplexy makes no sense. It's brachial plexus, brachial plexopathy.
Best not to be facetious with an MT with over 30 years' experience, with a 99-100% QA rating at all times.
You still didn't define "brachioplexy" which is what I asked.
No wonder we're losing our work to a foreign country.
