word, and if it was the word, I would think it would be fistula, not fisular. Since it came back from QA that way, I guess it has to fly, but personally...nah! Sorry. But to me, fisula is not even a word.

take out the comma between nucleations and right; I would also take out the comma between right and x 3, I would place a comma between fifth and "and". This is really a confusing sentence, as I am not sure if it means "right times 3" or right third, second, and fifth DIP joints. that would make a difference in the punctuation.

But you're right...I have a lot of CNPs and PA-Cs who are constantly saying the wrong things. For example, the CNP who keeps saying dilution instead of deciliter for the UA, when she does an eye exam she always says the lids were averted instead of everted. She SPELLS it for me and always sounds like she's disgusted because she keeps spelling it with an A and I keep typing it with an E. It has always been Everted. Averted means to look away. I type these things up for years and years and then someone comes along like her and I start questioning myself, and maybe I'm typing it wrong...it just drives me crazy.

AND I was taught through my medical transcription school, to change things like this to make a readable, correct sentence. Verbatim was not acknowledged, as we all know that some docs cannot put a sentence together verbally in the English structural rules. I was taught that a good transcriptionist always changes incorrect things to become correct things...not just *this is what he says, so this is what I give 'em.* attitude. Personally, I would change the sentence to read * A __ cm hardware was tried.* It does not change the meaning of the sentence one iota and sounds much better, at least to me. But that is me and my opinion. My many years of proper English schooling just will not let that sentence pass as is. The hair on the back of my neck stands up when I know it is incorrect. This is just my opinion, and I don't need to be slammed for it. I would really like to know what your employer has to say about it Hayseed, if you ever get a response.

adding a followup "thank you" post for every single question just clutters up the board, really. I'm much more appreciative of a /well-formulated/ question that gives enough context for some to be /able/ to help and, in particular, one that demonstrates the questioner has at least tried to research it. ;-)

I change elicitable (which to my knowledge has never been a "real word" to "able to be elicited." My doctor dictator thanked me for this once (I was suprised that he noticed).

He should point it out to his supervisor because it is wrong. I don't care what QA says unless they can show me a resource where they got their information and it checks out. I would also point out to the client this fact. If they don't want to have their transcription correct and concise then I don't want their work. Right is right, wrong is wrong. I am really strong on this especially since the "new AAMT" has made all their "changes" and believe their BOS is the bible. It is not. Many of their "rules" are correct. Many of the are not. Research some of their changes and you will see just how over the top they have gone (it seems to be a control issue and they WILL cram it down your throat). I say that we all research on our own and go to reliable trusted sources that have been proven over time to be correct. The "New AAMT" definitely has not proven itself over time and incidentally they are not there for Americans anymore, they are there for the "overseas community." Humbug on them! Anyone know who could take the place of AAMT for American transcriptionits? After all, we are all Americans here and the language is English.
