I really appreciate it.

This is a pediatric patient followed through the cardiology clinic.  The doc says, "he does have (s/l botters) association." 

Anyone know what this is?

TIA

For a long time, ASR was typing African-American.  Now, it's typing African American without the hyphen.  Does anyone know which way is correct?

Thank you so much in advance.  I hope you're having a great transcription day and getting at least some easy docs.  I can't believe resident changeover is just a few months away.  Oh, how I dread that....

I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time.  Now, it comes up without the hypen.  Thoughts?  We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male. 

One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed. 

Just call me cornfused and befuzzled.  

Sounds like, "The PMI 2L SV."  Is this correct?  Thank you. 

Both heart tones present without murmurs, lifts, heels or gallops.

Is that right?

Heart: Irregular rhythm with normal S1-S2 without murmurs, gallops or friction rubs.

I'm not sure if he said " a regular rhythm or irregular rhythm."

I figured I'd come to the you guys for the answer. You always come through for me. Thanks.

She states Heart: Adynamic s/l re-cor-gum

I know I have heard this before, but I am not finding it thanks

Catheterization complete at this point which revealed normal coronary arteries with LV systolic function normal and an injection s/l *pression* of 65%.  

Could be pressure, but not sure if that is appropriate...

Thanks in advance.

In heart exam:  Heart: regular rate and rhythm.  Loud S/L V2.  I know there are S1, S2, but never heard V being used before and I have never done cardiology.

Thanks

Thanks for the info.  I think it is P2.  He is a ESL Doc. 
I really appreciate it.  I think you helped me last week on another word.  Thanks again.

Patient had an OPCAB with left IM graft to LAD, etc.

Sentence reads. IMA was measured and beveled....A soft dog was placed proximally.  Soft dog?  This is an ASR report and that's what the software had put in and that is exactly what I am hearing too.  I am way too tired to be doing this.  Anybody?
