Subject: what? you mean I've typing this wrong for 25 years?

That cannot be.  Don't think I'll be changing my ways anytime soon.  Your reference book really says that?  So, a patient would be gravida X, para IX, AB VIII?   Absolutely no way.

Impression:
1. Left de Quervain tendinitis.

Will get EMGs. The patient has evidence of s/l palmarthrorheumatosis. He runs it together, so it may be palm (or palmar) arthrorheumatosis.

Any help is appreciated. :)

I've had to do this........
Subject: I've had to do this........

Go to the beginning of the sentence at #1, right click, click on decrease indent and this will put you at the left margin. You can then put (a) manually under the beginning of the sentence and space over 2, then starting typing. Hit enter and put in (b). I know when you hit "b" it will move over. Before moving on, go back to "a", right click, bullets and numbering, customize, go to "aligned at" and make it 0.5. This will align everything where you want it. When you start "c", it will be at the left margin but go ahead and finish a,b,c,d, however long. When finished, highlight this, right click, bullets and numbering, find the box starting with "c" and click it. It will line everything up. From then on,when you type #2, it will line itself up. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Okay, I've had it....
Subject: Okay, I've had it....

I'm typing an orthopedic surgeon at the moment..he and his wife (who is also a surgeon) have developed the same MISERABLE, slurring speech pattern (I thought couples began to LOOK alike, not SOUND alike).  If someone could help before I am bald from tearing my hair out, I would be extremely greatful.  He is dictating a patient who developed an infection from a wound and was taken to the OR twice for "I&D and integator??? plus VAC placement."  It is probably something easy, but I am experienced only in radiology.  I do very well if I can hear what is being said.  A couple of reports ago, his wife dictated a patient who had patysmal blanding...(platysmal banding) and craptional consrapsure (capsular contracture).   Sorry bout this long-winded, whining plea, but thank you for letting me vent.   Heavy sigh...I feel better now. 


I've Always . . .
Subject: I've Always . . .

Corrected grammar--had a time of it explaining to one clinician why it's "between her and her father" and not "between she . . ."--and only VERY rarely have been asked not to do it.

I think they usually know once the correction is made that what they dictated was incorrect.

Although I'm sure there have been raised eyebrows over my typing the correct "he has DRUNK (not "drank") alcohol since age 16" because to them it sounds (but isn't) wrong.

Past participle, doctor, look it up.

Have fun out there,
