Doc is an ESL and unclear, but it s/l he is saying "...using a 3 K 21/2 bath." I have never had this in a report and after googling, am still as clueless as I was. I cannot find it in AAMT, either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm
Subject: how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
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!

that the doctor will use a dye or ink of some kind to mark a spot where they remove a polyp or see something, so that they can locate the area more readily on followup.

I guess you mean that SM
Subject: I guess you mean that SM

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity.  Ostium means opening.  Meatus means opening also.  So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to.   Plus that, there is no such word as ostio. 


I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.

Just guessing here, but first sentence might be uterus normal tone, size and position.  Second sentence - about *____ dilated, should probably be  a number, not "already"  Uterus was sounded to 10 cm.   Sorry, can't help with the next sentence.

You're right on the "marrow" portions, but the only thing I can even hazard a guess at on the morphology is "an echoic."
