verbatim unless instructed otherwise
Subject: verbatim unless instructed otherwise
different providers/facilities have varying policies. definitely put the phrase "f off" in quotes, whether you type the f-word out or not. i type verbatim, i.e., if the provider dictates "eff off," then i transcribe "F off." if the f word is dictated in full, then that's what i type. if the provider says "F blank, blank, blank," then it's transcribed "F___," etc., so yes to verbatim. and i always figure if a facility/provider wants it done differently, then they'll let me know!

Is there another medication abbreviated "dig"
Subject: Is there another medication abbreviated "dig"
I know Digoxin. But in the report she says "dig" then a couple later she says Digoxin. Wondered if there was another med that would be abbreviated "dig", or maybe she just made an oversight not realizing she already said it.

everyone going by their own rules. There is no consistency. And thanks to that we're now pretty much considered non professionals IMO. I say bring on the mandatory licensing/certification to bring the professionalism back to the field!

of the BOS. In other words, I would not type contractions, slang, or prohibited abbreviations. If the account wants you to ignore the BOS once you get the job, that's fine, but I think it would be better to show your knowledge of the BOS and get it wrong than to disregard the BOS altogether.
can't you just leave it abbreviated, or do you have to spell it out. I would leave as dictated.

You never know with labs, they can be tricky. If you are really concerned you could always add a marker for it to be double checked but I would leave as dictated.

I think you are correct. I believe they are three separate things. There is general pain that stars to localize to one spot. There is rebound pain where they press on your abdomen slowly, but then unexpectedly let go. And there is guarding pain if when they examin or stomach you they press or attempt to press and you instinctively try to guard your abdomen with your hands.

I would leave them in. Yes, it is redundant, but it's also what the doctor dictated. The only exception would be, in my opinion, if there were account specifics covering this and then I would follow the account specifics.

TM stands for appx 20 or more things, so you cannot guess which one. Also,the same goes for LAM. It stands for seven different things and you cannot guess which one.
I was taught in this situation to leave it as said. My account even specifies in assessment and plan to never abbreviate except in this case when you cannot 100% verify what the doc means if there is more than one meaning to the abbreviation.
Hope this helps

Sometimes docs do not spell things correctly; but when I cannot find something that they spell, I will send it to QA and let them figure it out. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.
