What would you do?

This is the first time I have had this happen to me, so I'm not sure what to do about it.  Here goes

CHIEF COMPLAINT:  Rule out left peritonsillar abscess.  (nothing wrong there)

Then the dictator starts the HPI and starts talking about the right tonsil.  I have not heard mention of the left tonsil again at all. He even mentions no evidence of an abscess on the right tonsil initially, etc.

This is a verbatim account, so should I just flag it and send it to QA, or should I change left to right in the chief complaint section?

TIA!!

• What would you do? - hmmm
  • FLAG IT.............................nm - No question about it - just
  • QA ended up changing it to "right" in chief complaint - UPDATE
    • I hope the QA person adds her initials to the report. Thanks for the update. nm - nm
  • I agree... flag it - kb
  • I'd flag it. You don't know which one - they actually messed up. nm
    • I went ahead and flagged it even though - hmmm
      • This could be correct just as it is, but it's good to flag anyway, sm - nm
        • Thanks...I did think of that too...that's one of the reasons I flagged it. - nm
