result can greatly affect the mean, but the median is not as affected.    Any clues?  This is a horrible dictation. 

s/l:  "Also, given the patient’s financial status, I believe this is of less yield."

Does this make sense to anyone?  I have listened to it a hundred times and it's making me bonkers! 

Help?

Thanks!

Doc says, Her s/l NVOS was running between 53% and 56% which correlated with her mixed venous saturations. 

I had blanked this morning and QA has blanked it as well, and now I have it again this evening.  Would 'prec whatever help.

At that time, it was decided to explore (s/l trileptory) concerning for resection of small bowel. The patient went to surgery on that day for exploratory laparatomy, small bowel resection of primary anastomosis, and was discharged on 03/18/2009.

(they are concerned about a small-bowel obstruction.)

. I think it might be quietapine (Seroquel) and the dose is titrated etc. due to patient's other problems etc.  All I can think of.

If the QA is insisting ".5" after weight instead of "1/2", wouldn't they also insist on typing "A 2.5-year-old child" instead of the obviously correct "A 2-1/2-year-old child?"  It just doesn't jive with me on some level, but then again neither did Aqua-Net hairspray.      

.... sounds like rale or rail packs... for migraines?  Thanks.

Wet prep showed budding yeast and ....s/l hife.... 

Thanks.

I know this is probably stupid BUT.... as a "newbie", I haven't encountered this before.

How do you write disc space height. 

ex:  doc says:  complete loss of disc space height at 5 1

Thanks.

If the patient's fever does not DEPRAVEST on antibiotics, then further assessment such as CT scan of the sinuses and thorax may be needed. 

I cannot find a word that fits, but it sounds clear as DEP-RA-VEST.  Any ideas? 

The company I work for does not want us to use numbers and numbers should never be used at the beginning of a sentence, but does anyone know the AAMT-true style that this should be transcribed?  I know this is a crazy question, but for some reason, I can't seem to categorize it.

Example: 

"School grade: 5th.

I know, it sounds crazy...  This is a new urology account for me, and the doc is REPEATEDLY saying the following, taken directly from the notes:

(Problem of interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain) -- 'She did not use the Valium vaginal suppositories.  She had days when she felt quite well....'

(Problem of IC again) -- 'Prescribed Valium 10 mg vaginal suppositories...' 

(Problem IC and pelvic floor tension myalgia) -- She stopped her Valium vaginal suppositories, which she states are at a dose of 10 mg of Valium with 25 mg of amitriptyline and has felt much better since. 

I can't find a Valium vaginal suppository anywhere, people!  Any of you know about anything like this?  I imagine that if you've got a stressed vagina, that would be as good of a cure as any, but I haven't heard of it yet.  Any ideas? 

It always used to be tendonitis, now the change.

And you say extend/extension so why not distend/distension?

When I first started transcribing again after a hiatus of about 15 years, I had to put "distension" in my AutoCorrect so that it would automatically change it to "distention" until I could get used to it.

two written, with or without a space??  x2 or x 2? I am able to view previous reports typed by other transcriptionists and some of them put it with the space and some without?  Now I am starting to doubt myself.  I was told it was without the space years ago.  Has something changed??  Thanks
