All of a sudden everyone on this board is questioning whether or not we type what the physician or dictator says. That is our job. He is responsible for the content, not us.

Been doing that for 25 years. Maybe it was just my original employer hospital's preference. Interesting, isn't it, that you can do something for years and years and never know it was not correct. I won't forget now, that is for sure. hehe

you have exhausted all your references, I'd type it the way he spelled it and then flag it, saying that the doctor spelled it that way. That covers you. Docs are notorious bad spellers, but he might be privy to something so new it's not on the books yet.

whenever they spell anything, I look it up because 99% of the time the dictator has spelled whatever they are trying to spell INCORRECTLY....it's a general rule of thumb for most MTs to do this - look up anything a dictator spells.........because we ALL know this about the dictators after 25+ years..........for some of us....in this biz.

I can't find anything close in my QLEDR. This is in a medication list, so I have no clue what it is for and no dosage is given other than 1 tablet once a day. This is a cardiac patient with multiple cardiac diagnoses. No other past medical history listed. Any ideas? He spells the majority of his medications incorrectly and I have been able to find all except this one.

Subject: correct - if an MD spells anything, RED FLAG...SM
if an MD/dictator spells ANYTHING, it's a RED FLAG to look that spelling up because 95 percent of the time they misspelled whatever they were trying to spell. MDs were not great in grammar and/or spelling (for the most part) - they were great in other areas. *lol*
