How many out there think when the doctor says gotten increasing large that replacing got for gotten sure looks better. Does anyone know off hand if there is an official grammar rule here. I think it looks bad!

I guess my original question shoud be if I have 300 cc or more rather than just 1 cc, should it have an s behind it or or just read cc. I have been corrected to be just cc and for some reason I remember it should be apostrophe (cc's)
Changing what is dictated is not always appropriate
Subject: Changing what is dictated is not always appropriate
even if you are offended by profanity. If the doc you are transcribing has a quote in it, you have to type as dictated or it is not a quote. If the physician is using profanity that has nothing to do with what the patient actually said, then some clients require you to change the words, because it is inappropriate otherwise.
My stance on this is just this. If it is a quote, don't change it, because it changes the integrity of the document. Whether you are offended or not, these medical records also serve as legal documents. You must keep that in mind. Just because you are offended is not a reason to change the words.
changing around doctors words
Subject: changing around doctors words
What is considered normal and appropriate.. if the doctor usually says things or an expressoin a certain way and this expression is on my autocorrect is it okay for me to type it in that way (with my autocorrect) if he changes around the sentence but it really means the same thing anyway. Also, how much is it acceptable to change what he says.

I keep getting this and I'd like opinions on this. Right after liver/spleen/abdominal exam, she says something that sounds like "go-ac" or "golac" negative. While I'd be inclined to put guaiac, she then does the GU/rectal exam and says heme negative stool. Wouldn't that be repeating herself? So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be instead, or should I stick with guaiac? Thanks bunches!

Subject: x 3 vs. times three
Which is correct? What do you use?
Times 2 or x 2
Hi all... I have been told by two different places two different things. I can't decide who is right! Is it written times 2 or x 2? For example: The patient had surgery for corneal transplant x 2. Or... The patient had surgery for corneal transplant times 2.
Was my old place of work correct when they told me to type out the word "times"??
Thanks,
Jen

I am sure it is "oriented x3" NM
s/l outgoing times three
Subject: s/l outgoing times three
In the physical exam section, the first sentence the doctor says is:
"He is pleasant," then what sounds like "outgoing times three," then "in no acute distress." For a full sentence of what would read, "He is pleasant, outgoing x 3, in no acute distress."
Does that sound right? He says it so quickly that I really can't make it out. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard that before.
thanks!

I did cut her a break, several times
Subject: I did cut her a break, several times
I would have been less forthcoming...you know, I got my job on my own...she should as well. Did someone give you a job without your having earned it yourself? And how do you suppose she will keep it IF she gets it? Will she blame yourself for not knowing how to be an MT (just getting quick fix answers here without knowing how to research or having an understanding of what she is transcribing?) or will she blame this board for not helping her enough?
I can symphathize with being new...everyone started out as a newbie; however, I do not condone - nor has this board - answering job test questions. And if she had books as resources as she stated, her questions on this board discredit that statement.
