Subject: What I have been told is I may make an educated guess...sm

I am by no means telling you not to leave a blank, it all depends on your company.  I have always been told if you know that is what the doctor means, especially if it is verified later in the report, then you may put what you know is correct.  I hate, hate, hate to leave blanks when I know what it is.  If you can, ask QA for verification if nothing else.  Sorry couldn't be more helpful!

I know, I have an OB clinic that is doing the same thing.  Sometimes you just have to say okay if that's the way you want it that's what you'll get and go on.  It's hard though, especially when you take pride in your work.

 

I noticed right away that you had fixed the templates and it was wonderful.  I found each one I needed right away.

 

Don't let it bother you, I think you did a great job cleaning those up, they were a mess.
