Why do they even BOTHER to spell things out if they are going to spell it wrong?? I'm thinking it has to be Palmer's point. Anyone agree?

s/l supris max strong?? graft
Subject: s/l supris max strong?? graft

Doing a massive rotator cuff tear repair.  Here is the full sentence.  At this point, the  Wright Medical   supris max strong??  graft was then used covering the area of the repair using Vicryl suture medial anterior and then using the lateral double row as the lateral margin of the graft covering the entire area of the repair well.


I am assuming it is Wright Medical, so I googled that but I cannot find the supris max strong.


Thanks for any help.

Cardio doc dictates EKG as follows: 

EKG demonstrates normal sinus rhythm at 61 beats per minute with normal axes, normal intervals, J point elevation 1 and 0; otherwise, no ischemic changes.  


But just not sure on how to type the 1and 0 or if he is saying 0, but sounds for sure like 1.  Anyone with any ideas.  This is a new one on me?  Any help appreciated!!!

Subject: Sometimes I think you can get to the point where

Someone new at this might have to look-up a lot things.  Sometimes you just get to the end of your rope with researching especially when the doc isn't sounding too clear or the word is slurred.  We must support one another though not tear each other down.  Why can't people just go by the old saying of "if you do not have something nice to say then do not say anything at all".  To come off like a know it all proves what?  Absolutely nothing in my opinion.  Not everyone is up on everything.

Subject: Yes, I know. The point is, he didn't SAY that sm

Although he does mention "near the perforation" later in the report.


My point is, docs sometimes use the abbreviations they use in speaking in their reports as well. Most of the time I will type them out, but it bugs me either way - I like to type verbatim and not add anything the doc didn't say, but if he says it wrong, what are you going to do? (Except maybe leave him a message.)

We all know what they mean. It's trying to decipher what the doc is saying when they barely open their mouths or are talking a mile a minute. When they say hyper___ or hypo____ and then never mention it again in the dictation, what to do? I think that's what she meant.
