I have a doc stumbling over a blood pressure reading.  He states 1, uh, uh, 205.  Now, does he mean 125 or 205?  205 is extremely high, but he does state later in the report that the patient should follow up with his primary doc due to high blood pressure.  Any help would be appreciated.  TIA.

This is why I'm so confused because the grading of the transcripts is so inconsistent. They say transcribe as dictated, then add headings, it's always different. It would be nice if it were the real world then there would be more of a reference point. Thanks for the tip!
