Help? The dictator is saying the letters a-b- and a-d- prior to pronouncing the rest of the word duction. Do they just mean abduction and adduction? This seems simple and easy maybe; must make sure though. Thanks!!!

abduction vs adduction
Subject: abduction vs adduction
I will try to make this question make sense -
When a doctor dictates A-B-duction or A-D-duction, is he supposed to say 3 letters on one or the other? i.e. ABD-duction or ADD-duction? I'm just wondering if there is a rule that they go by that will help me to better know which one they are trying to say when they are not too clear.
I tend to go with whatever they say first, like
Subject: I tend to go with whatever they say first, like
if they start out saying something like *eyes were anicteric* then I go with past tense the rest of the way no matter what. Just easier for me to remember. My account is not verbatim, though.
some docs say ABduction and ADduction
Subject: some docs say ABduction and ADduction
In my dictation, they will dictate A B -duction and A D -duction to separate the words because abduction and adduction sounds so much alike. Just been my experience. I have never posted a reply, but thought I could offer some advice on this one. Hope it helps.

All dictators have their own style (they use particular phrases etc) I would tend to give them what they want. Some may say first diagonal branch, some may have M1 or M2 or (marginal 1 branch and marginal 2 branch.)

However, if it is a verbatim account it needs to be typed as dictated.

No, just the 2 letters to give you some direction. ABduction or ADduction.

Subject: Protein S is a vitamin K–dependent anticoagulant protein, thus low levels tend to
increase the tendency for coagulation/DVT. In this regard, I agree with you.
However, maybe the elevation of protein S at the time of the DVT rules out protein S deficiency as a probable cause of the thrombotic episode. Is there any such implication? The clotting mechanism involves a complex cascade of activation events of numerous factors, and Protein S is just one cofactor for another anticoagulant protein.
Still, it would be wise to flag the doctor and let him put the final word.
