I can’t hear the “tat” part, but that sure makes sense. I like the cardiovascular, too, except this is talking about GERD - could that be connected to Cardiovascular system?

On this progress note it sounds like the doctor says "blood pressure 167/82, heart rate is 90, resperate 20, T max is 100.8."
Should that be respirations 20, temperature at max 100.8? thanks

Heart without _____ (s/l extra absoftness) without edema.
Also in same report, dictator says:

Does anyone know what those 2 blanks might be? I see “glucosylceramidase assay” in the Stedman’s Lab Words book, but I don’t hear that in the dictation.
I would appreciate any help at all.

Headings
Newbie here. If a doc dictates a laboratory data and lists lab values, then talks about x-rays and ekgs, do you include that in the lab section or make a separate heading for x-rays and ekgs (what would you title that section?). Thanks for any info.
Headings
Subject: Headings
I am transcribing a History & Physical Examination Report (Neurology)
The headings confuse me terribly. What would the heading be for the following:
Orientation and language are normal fundi with sharp disks bilaterally.
I have the following:
NEUROLOGIC: Patient walks to the right occasionally. She has trouble getting started because of discomfort. She can walk on heels and toes briefly. However, on tandem walk she really has difficulty with that. She does not line up her toes easily and loses her balance very easily with that. (Is that the correct heading?)
Also, does anyone have a good website for determining headings?

Subject: not an answer on headings, but
Sorry, I don't have a quick answer about your headings, but I wanted to let you know that your first sentence should be 2 sentences: Orientation and language are normal. Fundi with sharp disks bilaterally. (Fundi and disks/discs refer to the eyes, nothing to do with orientation or language.) Good luck with the headings - I still get confused sometimes on them too if I don't have a specific format to follow.
If QA has no recommendations, you don't have to have headings in there at all. Just do the report
