-The plan is to start her on antibiotics as per s/l ID's recommendation and follow her closely.-
This doesn't sound like the name of any of the doctors involved, so I thought it may be a protocol that I'm not familiar with. Thanks for your help!

Subject: Quick question - Clinic note, doc dictates the word pantalones - Spanish for pants. Would you... sm
type as dictated, or change it to "pants" ? My first instinct was to look up the word "pantalones" online to make sure I spelled it correctly, and type as dictated. Then I thought, for clarity (and future readers of the note who might not speak Spanish - though I think you could figure out what is meant by reading the report), should I change it to "pants" ? She does say "pantalones" in kind of a "cute" way. She also yawns loudly at the end, so maybe she's a little loopy.  LOL Opinions?
