Lie is to recline your body on the floor, bed or where ever it is you want to lie.

My guess is that the provider did not spell it correctly. I do not know if you have access to your dictators, but I would spell it with the "y" and then tell him your reference. I often do this for providers and they are very thankful. Most dictators I have use pneumoperitoneum and I do not believe I have ever had physo used.

many MTs fail tests. MTs type according to their supervisor's instruction (whether right or wrong) and when they test - they fail because of it. That's why these small companies are horrible for newbies. They teach them incorrectly.

It's tertiary contractions. You know, it's too bad that people can't ask a question and get a simple answer instead of being told to look it up. She could have been given the answer in the time it took to tell her to look it up.

I have had doctors, very brilliant ones while practicing their craft, speak horrible grammar, and I have been told by many, many supervisors and HIM personnel, even in college, that if a doctor uses the correct term but just the incorrect grammatical form, as long as you check with your supervisor, it is correct to make that one change, you are not changing the context one bit, nor changing the doctor's medical knowledge, just making it read much better, seem much more intelligent, for the doctor's wellbeing, as other doctors, personnel, lawyers, etc, get to read the report, and every doctor wants to be well-represented. I have a dear, very old Swedish pediatric gastroenterologist/professor who often will say "poops" when fishing for the words stools or defecates....my boss is more than happy to have me replace that appropriately, as is the doctor himself, ESL is tough!

Is there a PCP or specialty doc? If so, the letter would be to him, with other doc cc'd. If it doesn't matter, then I'd put the first one dictated as the main addressee and cc the other.
