Subject: Quit correcting typos. We need support, not correction.

This is not direct specifically at you. I wish everyone would quit being so darn picky in these forums. We are all tired and just needing help on the question. We are all typing without spell check in this program which we are all very accustom to relying on. Give us all a break....and yes...I am SURE that I have a typo in here and don't care. This is where we come for support, not correction.

It's hard to judge these things without hearing them - I went with what was closest to the sentence provided. While the patient could have been "dyspneic-looking like a patient with COPD or sleep apnea," that just didn't sit right with my gut.

Another one... :::sigh::: See message, please!
Subject: Another one... :::sigh::: See message, please!

 


I am doing an op report: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with operative cholangiograms.  The doctor clearly says diagnosIS, although I know they do that all the time and then give numbered lists, so I know not to count on that. For the diagnosis, she says "Chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis."  She runs them together just like that, no pause in between or anything.


Do these go together the way I have them now, as one diagnosis just separated with a comma?  Should I have them separated and numbered instead?


I have no samples to go on and I've never done one of these before. What do you seasoned surgery pros think?


Another question. SM
Subject: Another question. SM

This also pertains to the other question I asked.  This doctor is driving me CRAZY.  The audio quality is horriblel - sounds like he is using a can and a string rather than a PHONE.  AARRGGHH.  <deep breath>


Entire sentence: 


"There is a suggestion of a horseshoe configuration of the kidneys with s/l TALLULAH-FORM shaped tissue extending anterior to the s/l AR-AY-LA."

Hypo, hyper, macro, micro
I'm a long-time MT and I still have a problem telling hypo from hyper, hypothyroid from  hyperthyroid,  macro from micro, etc....unless it's very obvious from the content of the dictation which is a lot of times isn't.    Another difficulty is the lab values...it's hard to tell 15 or 50, 20 from 30.  I leave blanks and then I see where QA fills them in.  So, I don't know if my hearing is getting bad or if they or just guessing.  Or, they may have access to othe lab values from previous dictation.  So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with other MT's. Maybe I need to have my hearing checked.
