that is used to see the contrasts of the mouth and throat more clearly. Especially as this procedure started with a microlaryngoscope, which is used either in patients with narrow airways or to get a more clear picture, I would be more apt to say the doc said band endoscope.

Using a question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty sm
BOS says:
Use an ending question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty.
Sometimes, particularly with diagnoses, a question mark is placed before a
statement in order to indicate uncertainty.
Placement either before or after the questionable material is acceptable, but
do not place the question mark both before and after.
Ex:
His cholesterol levels were high normal (or minimally elevated?).
D: Diagnosis: Angina question mark
T: Diagnosis: Angina?
or Diagnosis: ?Angina.
not Diagnosis: ?Angina?
Note: There is no space after the question mark in ?Angina.

Subject: I doubt highly that a stricture or lesion would
improve a patient's nutritional status., but rather do the complete opposite. I think the physician meant to dictate "GI" physician since he/she mentioned the dysphagia in the dictation, which is also a common place for strictures or lesions to develop.

here's what I've always done:
He was given a do-not-resuscitate order.
I think my high school English teacher would prefer it thusly;)
He was given a "do-not-resuscitate" order.
Like Txczech said, sometimes these are bolded and capitalized to alert treating physicians of patients' wishes, similar to allergy statements. Client preference, again.
Unless you know for sure that the client does not have a special order called the Do-Not-Resuscitate Order, lowercase it. (I think this is what you might have been considering.)

Subject: We learn every day -- don't be afraid to ask your QA why? ..see msg
I'v been doing this for quite a few years, and last night had a report where I heard "Shoreman kyphosis," researched and found quite a few websites spelled this way, didn't really check to see source of websites, just that there were a LOT of them. (slap me with a wet noodle, I was tired and brain-dead because I know better)
Anyway, QA send me an email this morning with correct spelling, "Scheuermann kyphosis." citing Dorlands online.
You can bet I created a shorthand entry for that spelling immediately, and of course, sent of an email to my QA person letting her know how much I appreciated the feedback -- I never have questioned my research without the feedback!
Have a great day.

them is to do them repeatedly. When you get your QA feedback, make sure you keep it for further reference. I have been doing this for 25 years and there are still docs I can't understand and/or cringe when I get them. Some of them are totally impossible.
