Subject: Type of Tremor
Doctor is saying I have noticed a shuffling gait, s/l todalol tremor and some cogwheel rigidity. It may just be a simple non-medical work, but I can't be sure.
TIA

Delirium Tremor
Subject: Delirium Tremor
I believe the doctor is saying delirium tremor, but there's no mention of alcohol abuse and when I googled that's what I take it Delirium tremors are. Just to make sure, though, is there another type of tremor that starts with a "D". TIA.

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
