Dumb question...
Subject: Dumb question...
At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often. Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation states pt is on a half mg of something. For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg". I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words. Is the proper way to write this 12.5? (Does .5 equal a half mg?) Thanks!

This may sound like a dumb question but it is important for the setup of the report.
First the Dr. says knee aspirit ( I assume knee aspiration) Also the main question is would a knee aspiration be considered a surgery? TIA.

I was wondering if this is one diagnosis or 2 diagnoses.
1. RIGHT SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
2. ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
The only reason I ask is because I was just released from QA and have never been so nervous in my life about making a mistake. My security blanket is gone..lol. I may be asking a lot of dumb questions for a while until I feel secure again..lol.

every day. I didn't mean to sound so desperate with my post, but she was a very difficult dictator and I was already extremely frustrated by the time I got to that point in the dictation. One of those that can't make a complete sentence and keeps changing their mind about what they are going to say. Anyway, thanks to all of you for your help. I won't be forgetting that word, I guarantee you that.

The patient will be seen for followup in a week.
Followup one week.
The patient came in for follow up of her acne. (I believe this can be hyphenated to follow-up.)
The patient will be seen for followup care in a month. (This, too, some MTs hyphenate to follow-up but I do not.)
The BOS has this very issue - Book of Style by the AAMT 2nd edition - discussed in it.

I'v been doing this for quite a few years, and last night had a report where I heard "Shoreman kyphosis," researched and found quite a few websites spelled this way, didn't really check to see source of websites, just that there were a LOT of them. (slap me with a wet noodle, I was tired and brain-dead because I know better)
Anyway, QA send me an email this morning with correct spelling, "Scheuermann kyphosis." citing Dorlands online.
You can bet I created a shorthand entry for that spelling immediately, and of course, sent of an email to my QA person letting her know how much I appreciated the feedback -- I never have questioned my research without the feedback!
Have a great day.
And we learn something new today! :) Thanks, 50! nm
