You might have John Doe, M.D. in the address info, but doctor dictates "Dear Johnny." Is this what you mean? If that's the case, I would type it as he says it, as he may have a friendly relationship with him in addition to his professional relationship.

On the other hand, if he's dictating a personal nickname, like "Puddin", you should probably use the other name. :)

I've never heard of a corner back, but it doesn't sound like he's saying quarterback.

But when I search google, the patient is listed as a DB. Can someone clue me in, please?

Is there a corner back...if so how do I type it? And what's a DB? Thanks.
