Spell check is not always correct. If the
Subject: Spell check is not always correct. If the
doc says Theo-Dur then that is what you type. We are not in the business of changing the dictation when it is correct. If you can verify your spelling through legitimate sources then use that and add the corrected word to the spellcheck.
I have found several misspellings in mine, and they were not ones I put in, came with the program, so what I do is put the correct one in the spellcheck and make an expander with the incorrect spelling so that in case I should spell it that way, the spellcheck will not just skip it, it will be automatically corrected.

It was sutured in 4-0 nylon running in 1 simple interrupted suture. Urine drug screen was positive for THC. A urine hCG was negative. At this point, I do not see any sign of acute toxidrome.
It sounds like "running" but not sure. Here's how toxidrome is being used. TIA

Medical spell check and word expander
Subject: Medical spell check and word expander
Hi, Could anyone tell me, please, where I can download a GOOD, but CHEAP Medical spellchecker and word expander program? I just got a new computer with Vista and my Shortcuts program or dictionary (Dorland's) will not work. I have been off work for a while and need desperately to work, but I'm lacking money to buy those. Info would be appreciated. I've spent hours looking on the Net. Thanks!!

That would be one way to do it. The doctors always seem to treat the phrases as a single entity, so I usually ponder it for a few minutes and then end up typing it the way they say it but wondered if it was correct or not.

I found Ultracet in my drug book as an analgesic but I did not find Ultracef. However, on google it lists Ultracef as an antibiotic but I do not find it everywhere I look so I did not know if it was an approved medication.
That is why I asked.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it. She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants. Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

I spell them out (i.e., second, third, fourth) because I am old and disslike what the word processor does to the alternative. I do, however, do a suprascript for exponents (i.e., "cm2" with the "2" smaller and above), but that's just me.
